I was furthest away on Stadium Of Light (About 30 miles). Hint was useless. It just said "Stadium Of Light: Home of Sunderland". Well, duh. I was expecting a rough geographical area to work from.
Good game. I had Ibrox and Tynecastle as Scottish grounds so the top ones must be in there.

I got to level 5 and a total distance of about 230 miles - but that was wind-assisted by my wife's laptop trackpad deciding to click twice on stadia for me. One of those was 42 miles out, in the middle of the North Sea - that ground being the Riverside, which I drive past on a regular basis and know exactly where it is.

I got to level 4 - I didn't have a clue by that stage so was taking wild guesses. Given that I don't claim to be particularly knowledgeable about footbal grounds I was proud of the fact that I managed to get Elland Road and Carrow Road correct to within a couple of hundred yards, and picked out the Riverside correctly to the nearest street

He's signed up & knows more about football than I do.
Here's the footie trivia thread @SeldonCrisis, you'll have some good guesses I'm sure.
I think we're waiting for the next question at the moment.

Glossop North End lost their first ever competitive penalty shootout last night. They were formed in 1886. It was an FA Cup 4th Round Qualifier against United of Manchester.
Additionally, Glossop is the smallest town in England to have had a top flight football team; Glossop currently has a population of 33,000, which would have been undoubtedly smaller during the 1899/00 season that they were in the First Division.

While it is a bit quiet on the question front (I keep an eye on this thread, even though I generally have no idea on the answers), here is one that I'm sure a few of you will ace.

Run out of time, or don't like the conference south?
I have done it I think 3 times now and get in the 70's each time. Generally get 19 EPL teams (miss a different one each time), a bit over half of the Championship/FL1/FL2 (again, missing different ones each time), then a scattering of the conference.

Most certainly ran out of time. I don't know the south/south east at all so the Conference South is a total blur.
But if you're stuck, just start listing major English towns and cities and you're bound to get a few more. Think of -shires.

You're correct with your confusion.
Administration is reorganisation of finances when a club cannot pay its debts; i.e. when the accountants come in and start directing the money flow.
Liquidation is when the club and business is completely insolvent and is extinct.
Administration has happened a lot in the FL (Portsmouth, Wrexham, Bradford, Luton, Derby, Bournemouth, Boston, Millwall, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Crystal Palace, Plymouth Argyle et al) but liquidation and club extinction is rare for the Football League.
As I just mentioned above, Portsmouth were in administration and were not liquidated. Chester City were liquidated in 2010, but they had slipped into the Conference by then and were thus not an FL team.

I think Newport County might be one not sure about the other

Newport did go bust in 1989 but like Chester their liquidation happened in their first season back in the Conference, having been relegated in 1988.
The two liquidations we are after happened later than Newport, by the way.

Darlington must be one. Or maybe we were relagated to the conference before that. And my second guess will be Halifax.

Darlington were bought out of administration, not liquidated. They were moved down the leagues & told to change their name by the FA who said they should be treated as a new club. They are now called Darlington 1883.
How about Kettering Town?

Scarborough? Pretty sure that happened the season they would have been relegated to the conference and York city.

They might have been in administration at that time but they were in the Conference North when things went belly up in 2007.
