That doesn't work. If it's league sides you're after then the answer is only 2. Halifax Town no longer exist, and both Wrexham and Oxford are in the Conference.

If it's all clubs then, well, you could go on forever.

Point taken. This question is from some time ago and I never checked the interweb before posting to confirm the answers

Thats pretty decent, although I'm getting too many american questions.

Would anyone consider this a suitable question?

Normally we get the students trying to figure out the angles and distance to the horizon. The look on their faces when the answer is ~93,000,000 miles is priceless.
