what about "east stirlingshire"
do they represent every town in east stirlingshire?
do they represent every town in east stirlingshire?
No such club!
That was my thinking that they represent the county of Notts and all those within it.
Vauxhall Motors FC
Senrab FC is named after two streets rather than a proper place
[/QUOTE]How about Tranmere which i believe is in Birkenhead
Debatable apparently.
The name did exist on maps long ago and the club were formed after meeting in Port Vale House.
So a bit like Crystal Palace - except the name DID get used to name an area of South London.
Does "Everton" exist as a place anymore ? Don't think it does.
So (I think) Arsenal is the only team with a name that doesn't strictly relate to an historical place - since they've dropped the Greenwich bit.
I thought it was named after John Barnes (Senrab is Barnes backwards). at least, that's what bobby zamora told me, and he should know! He played for them
I believe in England they are the only club without a place to their name.
[Edit] Pro club I meant.
is "queens park" an actual place? as in the scottish team who play in front of about 500 people in a 50,000 seat stadium
Sorry for forgetting the AFC in front of it.
Port Vale.
Regarding Arsenal, Woolwich Arsenal as a place may well still exist but the club doesn't represent it anymore.
The tube station as people have said is named after the club - it's not the name of the locality. Don't see why this is even being debated, the club by its name do not represent a town or any other settlement.
well technically we don't play in Brighton and Hove, we play in Lewes.........................................
