The longest league journey - Truro to Gateshead

Posted by grahame at 14:26, 26th October 2025

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.
