I got 122,368 first go. It would have been much better but I was somewhat thrown as to where the EBB Stadium was...

Second go rubbish score, too many sponsorship names.

Third go 125,233.

It's good, but its got a flaw! Mike Ashley please note.

Yeah, St James Park conned me as well. I got 112490 first time round.

Second time round I did much better though - 128587.

Still think the map's a bit of a dupe like.

129,141. Got totally screwed with Stockport which was further west than I'd thought, and Tranmere is apparently now in the sea according to this map!

EDIT - had a second go and did a bit worse IMO, but the score was 132,725!??

One and only go....133,792 B)

Got Southend and Torquay within 3km and Macclesfield and Oldham under 10. Furthest away was bournemouth at 40km. Have played a similar game with cities around the world, the joys of being a geography student.

Yes, I did it a few times and somehow got around that score even though I thought I'd been rubbish :unsure:

Pinch and salt springs to mind.

Top score from 4 attempts 129,257 but taking it with a pinch of salt as it had Bloomfield Rd under the Irish Sea!!
(Maybe this is another global warming scare story showing Britain in 2050!!)

There's a ground if you want to go.

133,436 first go
134,683 second

The map's not in the right aspect ratio, though

Also, just to be pedantic, isn't this a true test for geography geeks?

It is and it isn't.
You do need to know who plays at which stadium.
It's easy to criticise....Fun too!

109764 at the third attemt. Guessed the wrong St. Jimmy's

132873 at the fourth attempt.
