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.
St Johnstone St Mirren Celtic Rangers Hibs etc
They don't go in for all this naming a football club after it's home town nonsense in Scotland
where the hell do Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers play ?

Nottingham Forest don't play in Nottingham, Notts County do.
I didn't know that. The other side of the river is???
All is explained here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottinghamshire - The City of Nottingham used to be a county borough (just like Stockport County) and after a brief period has now liberated itself from Nottinghamshire.

If its a town within Greater Manchester then it's in Manchester.
The address is Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester
Pretty big giveaway there
Salford, Bolton and Wigan are all in Greater Manchester but no one from those areas would describe themselves as Mancunians.
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. 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.
United and City do play in Manchester, Luton do play in Luton, others are wrong too. Salford is in Manchester.
Salford is in county of Greater Manchester but not in the city of Manchester.
It's also something of a shyte hole.....despite BBC TV trying desperately to make out it's the centre of the fucking universe! Who gives a shyte about Salford apart from the inhabitants, I bet 80% of the population have no idea where it is or even give a toss. Why oh why did BBC TV ever leave London and decades of historical identity in arguably the greatest city on earth. And for the dump that is Salford.....it makes me really pissed off! My apologies for going off at a tangent by the way.

The interesting thing about Chelsea is unlike other clubs who are named after places in which they were formed or once played, Chelsea were formed and have always played in Fulham they named themselves after the neighbouring district of Chelsea due to there already being a Fulham.

Franchise club created to make use of the stadium like Liverpool and MK Dons.

No need to apologise for stating facts - Salford is without a doubt a shyte hole.

But Raith doesn't exist as a place. It's like saying: "They'll be dancing in the streets of Arsenal".
Our owner approves of all this dancing, wherever it occurs.

Albion Rovers play in Coatbridge
Queen of the South play in Dunfries.
Been to all three of these.
Dislike all three
