West might actually be Cliftonville in Ireland who we played away in a friendly a few years back.

I think these are the right answers but I too wonder if there might have been a Welsh one somewhere West of Bangor.

Not sure about Gretna but now I think about it I believe we may have played Ashington in the first season of the NPL? That's North of Blyth.

Gretna isn't actually as far North as Blyth. Did we ever play Bedlington Terriers at their place? That's up that way too.

I think Torquay will become the southernmost place we've played once we go there next season.
