I wholly disagree with this and know so from experience
My son currently lives and works not too far from Telford and has manages to get back to Ipswich for 7:45 Tuesday kick offs leaving sometimes as late as 4:15
For him Brafield would be about 100 mins, from Birmingham perhap 85, Wolverhampton 70 and Coventry under 60
Yes delays can always happen but 2 hours plus from those areas would be very unlikely
