What about F.C?

What's the answer then - where are the other 4 to make 23?

United, Villa, Rovers, Hotspur, Athletic, Wanderers, City, County, Albion, Palace, Town, Argyle, Rangers, North End, Wednesday,  Forest, Orient, Alexandra, Vale, Dons, Stanley, Redbridge, F.C

23, that right?

Vale isn't really their name though, isn't Port Vale the place?

eh?

What are they called if they aren't Port Vale?

Place name + Suffix + FC isn't it?

So they would be Port Vale + Suffix + F.C

Like Dagenham and Redbridge F.C.  It can't possibly be claimed that 'and Redbridge' should count in this?

I see.

Using that theory you couldn't include "and Redbrigde", no.

The answer is gonna be so gay.

Well it's got me thinking anyway... better than thinking about being outsourced at work! :|

For the purposes of this (well, the website I found it on) 'Redbridge' counts as one and so does 'Bournemouth'. I think that's all 23 then.

no such place as port vale. Well not strictly anyway

The point stands though - their name is 'Port Vale', not 'Port + Vale', if that makes sense?

but couldnt that apply to the other randoms like Crewe Alexandra?

Really? I've seen today that Nationwide are advertising for IT Trainees, seems strange if they're outsourcing.

What money is it sam?

£15440 - £23160

Port Vale is the only football league club name not based in any way on the location of the club

Arsenal???????

It happens more in Scotland though.  Hibernian, Queen of the South erm...

Didn't they used to be called Woolwich Arsenal or something like that?

Aye and they moved to North London from there in 1913.

Anyway they are named after the tube station now  :wink:

Raith Rovers. Celtic, Rangers, St Johnstone, Albion Rovers, St Mirren. Go into Junior football and there are hunners of them

Celtic and Rangers have Glasgow in their names now!

Aren't they called Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers though? Or am I making that up because I'm a 'stupid englishman'? In Germany they call Arsenal 'London Arsenal'. Or was it 'Arsenal London'? Something like that!

Why do these immigrants have to hijack every thread?

Stupid englishman :mrgreen:

No they dont.

Just for the sole purpose of annoying you Hertab:)

Didn't know that about St J's

"Football was becoming more popular... .... it was St. Johnstone that became the club most associated with the town that gave the club its name. (In the Middle Ages, Perth was colloquially known as 'St. John's Toun' because the church at the centre of the parish was dedicated to St. John the Baptist."

And St Mirren

"They are named after Saint Mirin the founder of a church at the site of Paisley Abbey and Patron Saint of Paisley."

As I suspected...........

Stand corrected was told that by a weggie not so long ago!

I'm glad they don't have a reference to Scotland's no2 city dirty soap dodgers!!

Still not exactly named after the town though.

No I'm not saying they were mate, but I never knew that's how they got their names, that's all.

me neither. Anyway, I still think that the Mackrel one is the best bit of Trivia in the world! :mrgreen:
