Either Notts County or Nottingham Forest

Born in St Aubyns Hove

Brighton & Hove Albion FC

Does Cuckfield have a football club?

 

[Dandyman]

Spurs or (god forbid) the Arse are both a bus ride from the Whittington Hospital.

Thats really interesting - I grew up in Littlehampton and support Brighton - 17 miles away (nearest league club).

However, if I were to travel 17 miles from where I live now, I would find Wolves, Walsall, West Brom, Aston Villa and Birmingham. It seems the West Midlands is a hotbed of league football.

 

[Slough Seagull]

Peterborough

 

[Mackenzie]

Brighton and either Queens Park Jaguars or Whitehawk (I don't know which is closer to the Royal Sussex).

 

[porkdog]

Cuckfield, if they have a team

 

[fatbadger]

I mean from Step 4 of the pyramid up

Mine is Bridlington Town

And yours would be?

Er, Bridlington Town play at Step 9 in the pyramid!

Step 4 is League 2, so the nearest team for me would be Peterborough.

But if it is the nearest team from Step 9 upwards (ie to match your Bridlington answer), then it's Ely City, currently 13th in the Eastern Counties League Premier Division.

Brighton and either Queens Park Jaguars or Whitehawk (I don't know which is closer to the Royal Sussex).

Ditto!

And who are the Queens Park Jaguars?

 

[Forster's Armband]

Crawley Town

 

[Ding Dong !]

I'd guess it Paris St Germain........being born in Paris.

When I talk about the Pyramid, I mean non-league, as in Step 1 is Conference National, then downwards. I had a feeling Briddie had gone below Step 4, as they've had a few problems....

So the criteria was Step 4 non-league up to the Premiership

Hayes & Yeading United

They were only formed a couple of years ago.
