How about this for a nerdy site:

http://www.hopewiser.com/cgi-bin/proximity.cgi

You stick in your postcode and select football and it will tell you the ten nearest football league grounds to your abode.

Strictly for nerds only but secretly you'll all love it!

nearest - Cambridge Utd, 16.02 miles
30th - Brighton & Hove Albion, 81.43 miles*

*which is bollocks. It's 81 miles if you drive straight through the middle of London , but just over 100 miles using M25 via dartford crossing.

Think that must be out of date as I could swear that Hereford are in the league now and Oxford and Kidderminster aren't. Not a bad list really as we are pretty much guaranteed a couple of games a season locally to me, regardless of what division we find ourselves in.
