    Didn't Liverpool and Manchester just used to be part of Lancashire before they became too big? Like Warwickshire, Lancashire now have their cricket ground in a different  "county" (or local government area?)

    Yes

    Liverpool now in Merseyside, and Manchester in Greater Manchester (of course).

    Biggest club in Lancashire is really tricky - if you look at titles then it's  Blackburn (3 top tier titles, 6 fa cups), followed by Preston (2 top tier titles, 5 fa cups), Burnley (2 top tier titles, 1 fa cup), Bolton (4 fa cups) and Blackpool (1 fa cup). But as Burnley are currently in the top flight, and had highest attendances last season when 4 of them were in the same division, you could argue biggest club (at the moment) is Burnley. Think all 5 have the potential to be the most successful in any given era, but all can and have gone through phases of very low attendances. (Blackburn averaging just 15,250 this season, for example!)

    The people of Bolton will tell you they are in Lancashire. In fact; they are in the metropolitan area of Greater Manchester.

    I do agree that Lancashire’s biggest club currently is Burnley
