Okay, it looks like the northernmost playable LLM club would be Skarp in Tromsø, Norway. It's a Second Division club. For the 2006 season, Hammerfest FK will be the northernmost club, followed by Alta, and then Skarp. But since Hammerfest and Alta have just gained promotion into the Second Division, they probably will not be playable until FM2007.

For the record, Tromsø is located at roughly latitude 69:39:41N (69.6613) and longitude 18:57:01E (18.9503).

I disagree

Northernmost playable on this version is Lyngen/Karnes

Small lovely village ENE of Tromsö ...

I beg your pardon - Im wrong, Skarp which plays its game in Tromsdalen is a tad more north than Lyngen. My study days in Tromsö were five years ago, and Im getting old ... Sorry once again!

By the way, Honningsvåg in Norway might be the northernmost football club in the world. The town is well inside the Arctic Circle and has a population of only 2,600 people.

But there is actually a football club there that played in the Norwegian Third Division Group 24 in 2005. The team won just one match and drew three from 22 played and was relegated to the Fourth Division. The club's goal differential was -82! :eek:

This was the same group that Hammerfest won to climb back into a playable league. So just imagine loading up a saved game, seeing Honningsvåg gain promotion as a playable club, and then taking over as manager. Now THAT would have to be the ultimate challenge!

Are you sure about Honningsvag northernmost? Berlevåg FK is a tad more north. They play in the fourth Norwegian division (Finnmark).

Mehamn also used to have a football team, but I guess they have not enough "young" people left to play ball.

Loffle, according to latitude, Honningsvåg is actually further north than Berlevåg. It might seem that Berlevåg is further north because it is further away from the most populous part of Norway. But Berlevåg is in the part of Finnmark that stretches east and southeast of the peninsula where Honningsvåg is located, and some two-dimensional maps may be misleading.

Honningsvåg's latitude is 70:58:34N and Berlevåg's is 70:51:42N.

I can't believe we are having an argument about longitude and latitude!

That's the problem, if you give people enough latitude they will start arguing about anything.

@ Greg - are you a geographer as well?

I couldnt find exact latitudes for the "stadiums" for both villages, that's why I used my "Norway atlas". In that one Berlevåg stadium (measured by hand) seems to be slighty more north than the one in Honningsvåg. I will GPS it when I take the coastal steamer next time. Promise!

Try going to multimap.com. Exact latitudes for the cities are available there by doing a map search.
