    I was thinking in all 92 clubs but bonus for answer just in our division.

    West is Plymouth and Preson is most northerly in the Championship.

    "Newcastle's ground is at latitude 54° 58' 31" N, and Carlisle's is at 54° 53' 45" N, so Newcastle is about 4-5 miles further north. " or so a website tells me.

    Ours is 51º29'12"N with a longitude of 00º02'09"E in case anyone wants to get this info on a flag!

    We possibly have the smallest longitude of any professional club, now there's a clam to fame.
