Certainly, if "Corvid" lockdown restrictions are in place, we might have to consider an alternative Avian species. Or am I getting confused?

As you didn't mention which league I'm going with the Central Stadium, home of FC Yenisey Krasnoyarsk in the Russian Football National League. I just googled this club after you mentioned it. Take a look at the shirts they wore for their first season in the Russian Premier League in 2018 - "interesting" and certainly "different" aren't they ! linkThem in their Lions tops v Hull in Tiger stripes

It's Burton. Coton in the Elms in South Derbyshire is the furthest settlement in the UK from the sea (70km) Burton Albion is 6 miles away. Pride Park is 17 miles away. Leicester is 25 miles away Tamworth is 10 miles away.

I've just seen this question posed on twitter and nobody seems to really have a definitive answer. My guess would be Coventry (when playing in Coventry), Burton, Birmingham or Villa. From bad memory, is it Leicester? Leicester is the furthest ground from civilisation and quite possibly the sea too. The locals usually go to Skegness (as its the nearest resort)

Surely a more relevant question is how long does it take get there. I vividly recall as a kiddie getting stuck in three hour traffic jams near St Asaph on the way to Llandudno. That was more than 50 years ago. Has it improved?

Which ground is closest to the sea?

Somewhere in my head says Leicester is the furthest British city from the sea, so I would guess the furthest league ground would be around the west of Leicester somewhere. It also depends how you define "sea." Do you measure from tidal waters or the actual coast? I'm sure I read somewhere in my youth that Leicester was the English (and UK) City furthest from the sea. So that would suggest Leicester's ground would be the correct answer to the original question. It's my youth I think I remember it from too. Though just because Leicester is the furthest city from the sea doesn't mean it has the furthest league ground from the sea.

Blackpool, Fleetwood and Southampton are all very close. But I’m pretty sure it is Grimsby. Hartlepool? Non-league... and also not as close as Grimsby. It’s as good as in the sea if the ball goes out of the stand of one corner.

Which ground is closest to the sea? Arguably that would be Southampton's St Mary's ground, although strictly speaking, whilst next to the Ocean Village and the Cruise ship dock, it is on a tidal river estuary system. Otherwise I would be inclined to say Blackpool.

Coton in the Elms is officially the furthest settlement in the UK from the sea. I think the nearest football league club to there is Burton. And had more Bullseye speedboat winners than any other place in Britain. Such cruel irony..... Irony my arse, Bowen said they made sure it was a racing certainty if the contestants lived in a flat or were from somewhere near Wolverhampton. If you can ever find it there is an awesome tale he tells of the time the first two couples refused the prize round and in the mean time the two guys that were coming back had drunk the free bar.
