Technically both were places (Royal Woolwich Arsenal, Millwall Docks) but neither plays in the same location anymore (both have switched sides of the river) and their names are shortened.

cider-manc Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Loads in scotland not named after their location. For a start Rangers and Celtic. I may be wrong but if you don't included the likes of arsenal (whos original name included location) or Palace (the area became known as crystal Palace due to the exhibition) Port value is the only team not named after a location. 20 minutes ago, cider hoss rules said: QPR, Crystal Palace QPR are named after the area Queens Park in london.
