That's true, but with the exception of Salford, all the other parts of Greater Manchester have separate postcodes, BL or OL or WN or SK for example.Fiiish said:
Salford, Bolton and Wigan are all in Greater Manchester but no one from those areas would describe themselves as Mancunians.sam3110 said:If its a town within Greater Manchester then it's in Manchester.

Stretford is MANCHESTER M32. Salford is SALFORD M3 (or M5, M6 or M7).
Stretford might be in the borough of Trafford, but it's in Manchester.

Off at a Tangent but someone mentioned Port Vale not actually being a place. I was told that Port Vale and Notts County are the only two clubs with a name that does not reflect the place from where they come from. I guess you could include Arsenal in this now?????
Any others.

Welling United play in South Bexleyheath.2

I'm led to believe that Crystal Palace as a place does not exist. It was of course the glass palace in the park which is no longer there and the park is known as Crystal Palace park but there is no address which includes Crystal Palace as a place name. It's all Norwoods etc..ricky_otto said:The actual question was "which teams play in the place they were name after?"
So really, they don't actually exist?5 -

It was, but the opposite question "which teams don't play in the place they were named after?" is much more interestingricky_otto said:The actual question was "which teams play in the place they were name after?"

Wrong side of the River for Putney! Defo FulhamBrendan_O_Connell said:Fulham play in Putney and Chelsea play in Fulham.

But those teams are named after those areas of Greater Manchester. Manchester United play in Manchester, whether it's in Stretford, Trafford or Salford, it's all in ManchesterFiiish said:

According to the excellent Charlton Athletic Museum Charlton are the only one of the 92 league clubs to have been founded independently by boys.
All the others were works teams (West Ham, Man U, Arsenal) church teams (Everton, QPR, Southampton), formed by existing sports clubs (Forest, Spurs) or created as franchises for existing grounds (Chelsea, Liverpool). Otherwise they have been founded by a group of adults, not as a street corner side as was Charlton Athletic.

Surely cant be the case though as Notts County play in the County of Nottinghamshire?25May98 said:Off at a Tangent but someone mentioned Port Vale not actually being a place.

True. I'm not contesting the point that Manchester United is named after the place that they play, but having worked in Manchester for the best part of 5 years, you'd get laughed at if you tried to claim Salford and Manchester were the same place. People up there are very proud of the historical limits of each town and city. Just because they are all in Greater Manchester for governance purposes doesn't mean they can all be lumped in as Manchester. Trafford and Stretford would be considered to be Manchester by extension, but not Salford as it's a city in its own right. A taxi office five minutes away from where I was waiting refused to send a cab out to me because they were geographically in Salford and I was just inside Manchester and they did not pick up from Manchester.rananegra said:

Only really sad City fans try to play the card that United isn't really in Manchester. Work there for 5 years, you'll swear you'll never meet a more bitter and deluded set of fans, apart from the bin-dippers of course.0 -

They don't go in for all this naming a football club after it's home town nonsense in Scotland1 -
When you local rivals are Man United can you really blame them? Watching a bunch of plastic fans getting the tram in from Altrincham every week.Fiiish said:

Agreed, but it sounds a bit like cricket. Nottingham Forest play in Nottingham. So do Notts County. Silly really because Notts County where formed first and I guess the whole 'naming after a county' didn't catch on with football.ForeverAddickted said:

Who play where?cafcdave123 said:And don't forget, Chelsea play in Fulham
Actually, Who's on first base.0 -
Had to check and Forest play in the town of West Bridgford, separated from the City of Nottingham by the river, though still in the borough of Nottingham.1

Forest play at the City Ground which isn't in the city, it's in West Bridgford in the county of Nottinghamshire.25May98 said:

County play at Meadow Lane Stadium which is on the corner of Meadow Lane and County Road in the city.
Obviously they're both really confused.0 -
