Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? 13:04 - Sep 20 with 12423 viewshype313

Waiting to find out the answer, but I'm going for Telford.

Poll: Simpson - Keep, Sell or Loan

Although things get complicated when you consider that Selhurst Park is, as far as I can tell, only within the borough and not in town. Furthermore, semi-professional Croydon F.C. play at the Croydon Sports Arena - which is in South Norwood...


If we are going for town's which are London Boroughs, then Enfield may be in with a shout.

But it's all just London really, innit?

Digging a bit deeper I think we can kick both Warrington and Slough into the long grass because each have a semi-professional association football club.


So are now looking for a town that does not have even a semi-professional team located within its boundaries?

Edit. Bath could well be a contender. I don’t think they have a semi-professional team since Bath FC folded.

News just in, Telford planned to go from being semi to full professional in 2018.

[edit] And they play their home games in Wellington...yes, semi-pro but they can't even afford football boots...

I’d go for Poole


According to the website of Poole Town F.C. they have turned professional at least twice...

Bath City (the main team in Bath) are semi-professional and still going, in the Conference South. Are you thinking of Team Bath - the university team who had to quit the league about a decade ago?

They get more complicated when you realise that Crystal Palace itself - the area the club is named after - is actually in the Borough of Bromley, not Croydon. Although Selhurst Park is in the Borough of Croydon and is roughly half way between Palace and Croydon.
