Truro seem to play in Newquay, and Gateshead in Whitley Bay according to the map. Bit of northern bias?

The S*n had the story too. Although they didn't know where Truro is.

From The BBC

When Truro City kicked off at Gateshead in the National League on Saturday, they did so backed by 185 fans who had taken the longest journey in English league football history.

Promoted from the regional divisions to national level for the first time this summer, never before has a team travelled as far as Truro had on the hunt for three points.
