I guess for most of us the answer would be Sutton United. If it’s not Sutton, what’s the club and do you ever watch them?

Nearest club to me is AFC Wimbledon. I did watch them at their previous ground, most recently in January 2017.😁

Tunbridge Wells and I have never watched them.
The nearest biggest club is Tonbridge Angels and the only time I have seen them play was a pre-season friendly against Sutton in 2019.
If that counts!

Wick FC. Last went there earlier this season to watch Sutton's Women's team play Worthing.
First visit there was years before I moved here. I won first prize in the raffle. I don't usually buy raffle tickets for anything.

Since 2012 the nearest one to my home has been Carshalton Athletic and I think you can guess the rest of my answer  |

A toss up between Horsham and Crawley for me. The only time I went to Crawley was not long after it opened but I have seen the U's at Horsham's old ground a few times. I hope to see a game at their new 3G facility next season once the Covid restrictions are lifted. Roy Osborne managed both clubs of course and we used to have a habit of signing players from Horsham, including Gary Cross, Malcolm Bailey and Colin Newstead. Sam Page also joined from Horsham and played a big part in our 2011 Isthmian League title win.

Whyteleafe for me, and Merstham slightly further the other way.

Chesham United. Only ever watched them when the U's were in town. Mostly a happy hunting ground for us. Last time I can remember we won 3-1, Dominic Feltham got at least one, possible a hat trick (it was a while ago :-))

My local club here in Emmaboda, Sweden, is Emmaboda IS. Last time I watched a game I was attacked by giant mosquitoes! I left an EIS-shirt in the Sutton United club shop 2012 when I was attending the game against Bromley, I don't know if it is still there?

It’s a 10 minute walk from my front door to the turnstiles at the Liberty Stadium home of Swansea City. I am so close I can tag myself as being in the ground from my armchair on certain social media apps.
I went to their last game in front of fans in March 2020. I’m more likely to visit clubs in the Welsh system (there are a few close by)

Shrewsbury for me. I moved up here in 2003 and intended to visit Gay Meadow before the Towns move to the new ground but never got around to it.
I fully intended to get along to the new ground but so far, I've never bothered. 😁
I think I shall wait until the 22/23 season and just maybe see Sutton there. 💛

Warrington Town is my local senior team...I can see the floodlights from my home! Been here for nearly a quarter of century! Although I only make it there for the big games, last of which was their League play off defeat to Kings Lynn the season before last. Before that it was the televised 2014 FA Cup 1st round victory over Exeter City.

Last time I can remember we won 3-1, Dominic Feltham got at least one, possible a hat trick (it was a while ago :-)) I remember that game, it was 1993, we came out to the blaring on the tannoy of "We're Simply the Best", but proved them wrong, I think we also finished the match with 10 men as one of our midfielder's was sent off. Closest team to me is Chelmsford City, a mere 10 minute drive, I normally go down there when our former players appear.......Michael Spillane is still with them, he's one of the 2 people who run their Academy these days. |

Merstham or Redhill for me.
Seen plenty of Merstham games over the years but haven't been down to the Kiln Brow for a long time.

Swindon Town. Not watched them, hope to next season . . .
Prior residences would have been Carshalton Athletic, Cardiff City, AFC Wimbledon (though they weren’t there at the time, not sure otherwise - Colliers Wood?), Sutton United, Carshalton Athletic (way too close).
