Actually, no. Despite Gretna being in Scotland I believe Blyth Spartans may be further north.

Well done Andy


Blyth about 6 miles further than Gretna.

Isn’t one answer Merthyr and not two Truro’s ?

No. South and West both Truro

It's a real shame the Southern Prem is not one division like it used to be. All the cracking journeys we made to the likes of Dover, Margate, Ashford, Hastings, St Leonard's and all the other Kent ones, the Weymouth, Dorchester, Poole etc and even Truro could have been knocked into a cocked hat. Just one promotion away now in the Southern south division one are Mousehole! THAT would be a journey.

Late back to the thread, due to accidentally having to do some work, but yes, congrats Brother Avery.
And also yes, some of those trips on the old Pete Cooper special coaches - 10 pints, then 6 hours on a bus with no bog - were wonderful days out.

I didn’t realise that Mousehole were doing so well.
I hope they go up and get King’s Lynn on a Tuesday night.

But Lowestoft is further east than Leiston.

Damn! You're right!

Points whipped away from The Bluenose and awarded to juanillo!
(And definitely no negative inference on me for setting up a false pretense in the first place).

Didn't we play Dogger Bank FC in the Larchimage Windows Cup?

Haha, I just assumed you would actually KNOW the answer, so never questioned it.
This wouldn't happen on Who wants to be a millionaire..

I once woke up one morning imagining we were playing Ajax. That would have won East quite convincingly. But we weren't, obviously, because they're Dutch, and several leagues higher than us, and we had Baldock Town on that afternoon. Must have been a dream. Oh well.
