I don't know how much of a problem the distance would become. My biggest reservation is the cost. A return train to Reading would end up around £5.50 each trip.
For a regular game, that's about £20 a month. My budget is pretty tight, so I'd have to find someplace to cut the money.
I'm not ruling it out as a possibility, but I'm really hoping for something closer to home.
Keep me in mind as it gets closer to the time. Good luck with the house buying!
