Famously, a TV commentator once shrieked: "They'll be dancing in the streets of Raith tonight!"
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.0 -
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.25May98 said:

Don't they all play in the Northern Powerhouse these days?sam3110 said:If its a town within Greater Manchester then it's in Manchester.
The address is Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester
Pretty big giveaway there0 -
Yes, but what do the train timetables say?rananegra said:
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.0 -
Which is of course in East London....Curb_It said:Charlton play in South Blackheath.

It's also something of a shyte hole.....despite BBC TV trying desperately to make out it's the centre of the fucking universe!bobmunro said:
Salford is in county of Greater Manchester but not in the city of Manchester.PopIcon said:United and City do play in Manchester, Luton do play in Luton, others are wrong too. Salford is in Manchester.
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.

Berwick and Chester play in England and (a part of) Wales but play in the Scottish and English Leagues respectively.0

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.0
