Yeovil..... Smallest ?

[The Hon Sec]

Fantastic achievement. Looking forward to next seasons trip down there (if I can get in!)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Nobody would want to claim they live in Rotherham, surely?

Population 257K.

Yeovil and Doncaster both got promoted to the Championship together having 10 years ago both been promoted from the Conference together. Gary Johnson seems to be one of those managers that is just suited to managing one club as he seems to have reinvigorated Yeovil since he came back. Do tend to agree that his football philosophy is a tad Jurassic, but it seems to work for him and for his club, which I'd imagine is all that matters to Yeovil fans at the moment.

Grimsby?

 

[Simster]

Boring, but true.

And likewise, Wimbledon is part of London, it's not a small town.

And even taking Wimbledon as its own entity, it's certainly larger than Yeovil.

Fancy this away next year has open terrace

 

[Giraffe]

Crewe population is only 67,000 not much bigger than Yeovil.

 

[Orwell]

Cleethorpes?

 

[mune ni kamome]

Burslem?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Not England, but Gretna got to the top tier of Scottish football - it has a population of just a few thousand.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Accrington - 35,318 as of 24th May, 2010.

Smallest town to host a league team in any division - 6,764 - Rushden and Diamonds

A merger of two clubs not representative of one town.

 

[Gary Leeds]

Fantastic achievement. Looking forward to next seasons trip down there (if I can get in!)

If Yeovil score then 'Glad All Over' by the Dave Clark Five blasts out around the ground.

I'm out

 

[OSRGull]

Yeovil in the Championship. Who'd have thought it? Gary Johnson is a dinosaur of a manager. He was in charge of Peterborough when we wiped the floor with them at London Road a few seasons back. Good luck to them.

I'm sure that was Ferguson because that year they also went up.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Grimsby?

Cleethorpes?

About 120,000 , the east coast equivalent of Brighton & Hove ? @RM-Taylor lives in Cleethorpes Actually

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm sure that was Ferguson because that year they also went up.

Johnson was in charge at London Road, Ferguson returned just in time for the Withdean return match later in the season.
