Football Challenge Question

[Forever A Shrimper]

What is the largest city/town in England that does not have a football league team?

Bath was the correct answer from where I got it from though. FIFA 08 IQ test.

Dudley - I believe

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

It could also be Croydon according to this comment -

Also for consideration, although controversial, is the city of Croydon (330,688) - controversial because the hallowed grounds of Selhurst Park fall within the London borough but not the city perimeter," he says. "Crystal Palace itself sits in the borough of Bromley."

Dudley has a population of 310,000 ?? according to the following list population is 194,000

Plenty of bigger town/citys than that without a league team.

According to that web site, Southend is the 32 largest town with a league football team (they include London as one place). Our current average home crowd is about the 47th best in the country with about 52 clubs above us from larger populations.

I apoligise if I have placed a misleading question/answer. But on FIFA 08 IQ Test the question is:

"What is the largest town/city in England without a team in the Football League?"

"Bath"

[Firestorm]

This is a list by population

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_cities_by_population

and the first on there without a league club is......Dudley Then Poole, Oxford , Telford, Slough and Gloucester

We are the 30th largest town in the country

 

[Firestorm]

Interesting, 6 of the top 10 don't have a Premiership team !!

Here's a more detailed breakdown of Largest UK towns, which shows Southend in 36th.

The biggest town without a club is still Dudley, though!

:p

As the question is which town in England a list of English towns (as opposed to UK) is more pertinent :p
