No. I accept that no parameters were set, but the people who've replied to the thread (as Thunderbolt did with Newcastle) have worked on the assumption that the 'other' city team(s) must be at a certain, admittedly unspecified, level in order to qualify. If you take it to the Nth degree then the answer to the original thread title is - there isn't one. As has been pointed out even the Vatican has two teams and our local 'little' city, Chichester, (7th smallest in UK) has at least one other senior side as well as Chichester City, plus numerous pub teams.I mean you have to? Otherwise what line are you drawing to decide that a soccer club is not worthy of being defined as a soccer club? Is it not disrespectful to do that? The line would be arbitrary and could easily just be anything outside the EPL as well.
And I am saying it's disrespectful to do so. It's the same as ignoring soccer before the EPL or any tend outside it out the big 6.No. I accept that no parameters were set, but the people who've replied to the thread (as Thunderbolt did with Newcastle) have worked on the assumption that the 'other' city team(s) must be at a certain, admittedly unspecified, level in order to qualify.

So in order for the thread to make sense there has to be some sort of cut-off point.

Ok, well we'll have to disagree then. Although I'm sure all park football teams in say, Newcastle, will be flattered by your view that they should be viewed the same as Newcastle Utd!And I am saying it's disrespectful to do so.

So you have no problem with the amount of attention some clubs get over others? How Brighton highlights and commentary is secondary at best to coverage of some banal event at Liverpool or arsenal? If that's true at least you are consistent.No, it isn’t.
Viewed the same as in they are a soccer team registered with the football authorities. Yes.Ok, well we'll have to disagree then. Although I'm sure all park football teams in say, Newcastle, will be flattered by your view that they should be viewed the same as Newcastle Utd!
I'd agree with this. Despite their lack of success they have a brilliant following and I don't think I've ever met a Geordie who doesn't support Newcastle.Newcastle

Shall we call Brighton a city with no clubs as they don't have one of the big 6 there? Is that not disrespectful?
