There's 32 First Round games in the League Cup tonight, featuring 64 teams obviously, have a guess which fixture out of all of them is the nearest to Hartlepool in miles, (without cheating) is it:-

A) 109 miles
B) 122 miles
C) 91.5 miles
D) 100 miles

Extra point if you can tell me which fixture it is?

Also just shows what a footballing outpost we really are..

It's not Huddersfield, as I thought it might be too, coincidentally they are one of 3 teams tonight to score in the first minute of their game.
Testing night for .D.C, his Stockport team are 3-0 down already at home to Blackburn.

It's got to be Carlisle didn't notice them when I looked at the fixtures. That would be 90 ish miles so 91.5

According to the Stockport fans it's mainly 17 year olds because they have 12 first teamers injured

Tis Carlisle, I was surprised as I pictured a trip to Huddersfield being shorter.
