A Horse With No Name Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 My guess would be Bradford City. Would have to be lower league with a long history of being in all four divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I was going for Wigan Athletic but Port Vale is a decent shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted March 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 As the right answers already been given a few times now, just to confirm: The question now becomes have they beaten Stockport and whoever else comes up, or will this just be a two month valid stat..

Can people stop saying Notts County!!! A quick look for County shows they’ve played AFC Wimbledon twice and not chalked up a win, so nope.

Also, of course, the only English league club not named after a geographical location. You can add Arsenal now, but of course they had Woolwich in their name until 1914.

Everton is an area of Liverpool, Queen's Park is an area of north-west London (although QPR aren't based there). There isn't part of Stoke-on-Trent called Port Vale however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might have been Orient when they had that few years of not having Leyton in the name. Forest Green Rovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I didn't count it in the same way as Woolwich Arsenal, as Port vale were founded as Port Vale, changed to Burslem Port Vale then dropped the geographic reference 20 years later. Ironically, when they were known as Burslem Port Vale they didn't play in Burslem, but now that they are just Port Vale they DO play in Burslem. If you wonder how I know all this shite, it's because I have a Stokie mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of league clubs that have in the past been named after things that aren't where they are based: our, ahem, "friends" The Black Arabs for instance. Forest Green, although a tiny area of a tiny town, is a place. It's Scotland where you get loads of clubs not named after the place they are based. If you can name them all "they'll be dancing on the streets of Raith tonight!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
