Not on an iphone or ipad, are you? It's a Flash-based game.

Just scored my third direct hit : Kassam Stadium, 0km.

Scoring direct hits on football grounds. I feel a witty dittie is due . . . . . .

Latest score : 145,734 including a direct hit on the Riverside Stadium (again).

Biggest pile of crap game ever!

Love how Bramall Lane, Hillsborough and the Don Valley, all of which came up in my first go at it, are about 40 miles apart!!

(143,768) and 30kms from Plymouth in around St Austell.

It uses lat/long, so if whoever made the game has put in the wrong co-ordinates, then naturally the game will be inaccurate. I know this how? Well, because I made one for US football stadiums. (its really hard, there's a minimum of 30 so I had to include teams from USL-Pro and NASL.)

The highest score I've got so far is just under 100k.

Their own geography is total tosh. Any more of this and they will be history. or should I say Geography.
Tranmere Rovers have most of their matches postponed due to waterlogged pitch. well it is in the Irish sea. Derby and leicester are way up in the pennines. etc and Home park is in Cornwall? hmm
I got within 2km of several stadia on my 6 attempts but the first one was the best with 120,021 and 2km away from Plainmoor but there were a couple of stadia that had changed names and I didn't have a clue. will try harder next time

Got it up to 124712 now. It's more about how to anticipate where you think they have determined where the stadia are rather than where they actualy are.

Latest score : 147,129

Direct hits so far :

Liberty Stadium
Riverside Stadium (twice)
Kassam Stadium (twice)

Has anyone else scored a direct hit ?

Closest to Plainmoor : still 2km.

Latest score : 147,826


Direct hits : Gresty Road and the Riverside Stadium (3rd time)

I've started to pause after every hit to see how the points system adds up. The Gresty Road hit was 9971 for accuracy plus 358 for being quick against the countdown clock giving a total of 10,329. In theory then, it's possible to finish with a score in excess of 150,000+

Have noted what Andy C and Gloucester have said about the geography. Both Prenton Park and the Globe Arena are in the Irish Sea and Fratton Park is in the Solent. The grounds nearer the coast (including those "offshore") are easier to get close to than grounds inland.

Nearest to Plainmoor : still 2km

120,000 - similar to city location game on Facebook games, passes a bit of time in the summer months!!!

Latest score : 148,463

Direct hits : Gresty Road (2nd time), Riverside Stadium (4th time).

Nearest to Plainmoor : still 2km.

I've taken offence at this game. And not only because it's taken me about a dozen goes to reach 130,000! It's because in all that time i've not seen Plainmoor once.
