Halifax Town Expelled From Conference

[Summerof69]

Bloody hell the conference like kicking out teams now. It's a shame really. I remember when Halifax were in the football league not so long ago. Still i won't be complaining if they chuck the scum out  

Don't forget last season when Boston were relegated from the FL, the Conference wouldn't let them in so they had to play in Conference North, the league below.

Sadly, I think you are correct.  I was actually pondering this one the other day when I realised that one of my favourite pieces of football trivia was about to change.  (Hull City, by the way, is also the only club of the 92 that you can't colour any of its letter in.)

After Milton Keynes, I'd have thought other contenders for largest city never to have been represented by a top flight team would be Southend, Basingstoke and Gloucester...of which the latter two have not even been represented by league teams at all.

Bedford's got a population of 150,000 and never had a football league team, and having been relegated twice in two seasons to Southern Div 1 it's not looking likely.

Turning the question on its head, which is the smallest town that has been represented by a top flight club?

In recent times, I'd have thought Blackburn would be a contender.  It barely makes a mark on the map.

Accrington?
