Southern United the only team in the ASB Premiership that has an away trip for a home game.

Not only that it takes longer for the home team to get from home to the game than the visiting team take.

Well not quite. On both points.

A. WaiBOP United play home games in Tauranga.

B. Welly to Invercargill goes via CHCH taking min 3 hrs.

Drive time from Hamilton to Tauranga is an hour so yes a slight trip to another venue but not the nearly four hours the SU boys will have on Sunday. 

Welly to Invercargill takes just on 2hours depending on wind direction for a  direct flight, so still quicker than a road trip.
