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.

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

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.
