Some are easy????

West Bromwich Albion (the Hawthorns) have the highest ground above sea level. Name the next two highest, -there is so little difference between them, they both lay claim to it?

What football teams play their home matches at the two lowest altitude grounds?

What English Football League clubs are furthest north, south, east and west (4 answers)?

What two Football Stadiums are the closest to one another?

The closest grounds are Dens Park (Dundee) and Tannadice (Dundee Utd) - I remember reading that in a 'Topical Times' football annual years ago. They are on the same street.

Eh up Dodge,

Lowest altitude, close but no cigar.
Furthest north, OK Berwick, but which is the furthest north in the football league, - there is one a few inches higher than Carlisle.

Futhest west, no
Furthest south, - Plymouth, - correctomundo Image
Furthest East, - Norwich, correctomundo

Two closest Sadiums are as Trypewriter says Dundee and Dundee Utd, - about 350 yards apart.

Cobh Rangers are further west than Plymouth but they aren't English. What map are you using Bill? I hope it ain't one with 'Here there be Sea Monsters' on it. Image
