Which is the shortest league team name in Britain (England and Scotland)?


Anyone want a shot at this one?

Port Vale are from Tunstall in stoke, port vale doesn't exist.  Some would argue that arsenal aren't where they are named but it's contentious.


 PV are in fact from Burslem, and were known as Buslem PV up until 1907, when they dropped out of the FL....when the league was expanded after the Great War in 1920....they returned as just Port Vale.

I meant burslem, got mixed up with their long-standing sponsorship by tunstall insurance/bank.  Burslem bloody nightmare getting the bus down there from the station, they seem to annually change the bus numbers in Stoke.

Highest ground I think is either Bradford or Oldham?
