A team with no town

[Barnham Seagull]

Yep Albion rovers are from coatbridge so they are another one and St mirren i think are as well they play in paisley.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

"They'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight".

They're a team that was once (more or less) named after an English town.

Are Grimsby the only club to have their permanent ground in another town ?

Another (easy) question

Which clubs players cross into a different country as they run onto the pitch ?

 

[Race]

queens park rangers?

 

[Robot Chicken]

It's Chester. The ground is actually in Wales but the main stand is in England. For adminstrative purposes this means the address of the Deva Stadium is in England

 

[Robot Chicken]

What about Queen of the South?

Arsenal were indeed originally Woolwich Arsenal. The team moved north of the river and the arsenal stayed. Everton is in fact a suburb of Liverpool and QPR are the only team besides Port Vale to not be named after a place.

The ex league Rushden and Diamonds came about when two lower league teams were merged and let's not forget that relegation candidates Leyton Orient were just 'Orient' for a while.

Chelsea don't play in Chelsea.

Hearts

'Heart Of Midlothian' (their full name) is not a town, although Mid-Lothian is obviously a place (a county, I think).

Also, is Hibernian actually a place? They play in Edinburgh, so maybe it's a suburb

 

[Leekbrookgull]

St Johnstone,Perth and St Mirren,Paisley.

Hearts were named after a dance hall, apparently, it was called the Heart of Midlothian...think it was where the club was formed. If anyone goes to Edinburgh make sure to visit the Heart of Midlothian stone on the High Street (Royal Mile), it is supposed to bring you luck if you spit on it...I did when I moved there and Hearts won the Scottish Cup about 6 months later.

The only other team I can think of, albeit in Scotland, that is not named after a place is Raith Rovers who play in Kirkcaldy.

 

[Gully]

Frutos, I think Hibernia was the Latin name for Ireland, with which the Hibees have a connection...hence they play in green and white.

Berwick rangers?

 

[Giant Seagull]

is Kingstonian a place?

 

[Curious Orange]

Berwick rangers?

I suspect that Berwick Rangers ground is entirely in England, along with the rest of Berwick.

tranmere, who's ground is in BIRKENHEAD

 

[Gully]

We must be the only team named after two different places, with the home fans watching from one and the away fans from the other.

Right on both counts.

Edit: To answer an eirlier question, Rushden and Diamonds are another one who dont play in that town. Their ground is in the tiny nearby town of Irthlingbrough. (the smallest town in England to ever have a league club, I think). Suppose,as they are in the conference now, it dosent count.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE


plus MK DONS, as surely the "DONS" bit relates to wimbleDON

?

Is the away stand ACTUALLY in Hove though, with the rest of Withers being in Brighton?
