The Highest and Lowest Stadiums (England and Wales)
Ok, so does anybody really care which is the highest or lowest ground in the English Leagues ? Well, for the more geographically-inclined amongst you, we've grabbed a whole load of Ordnance Survey maps and worked them out anyway.

Okay, so The Hawthorns may be the highest league ground in England and Wales but we hardly need to get the ski goggles and oxygen masks out for a trip there. Compare it to the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City (7,400 feet) or the Estadio Hernando Siles in Bolivia (9,800 feet). Now that's height.

Hmmm, with sea-levels on the rise and the polar icecaps melting away faster than a Mr Whippy in Hyde Park on a sunny afternoon, it looks like all those fans of east-coast clubs better start taking global warming seriously. Time to ditch those gas-guzzling Chelsea tractors in favour of a Prius or a bicycle, or else it's going to be water polo in the future for you boys.
