Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? on 13:28 - Sep 20 by BlueBoots | I'm going for Warrington... (Edited, as originally went for a Non-League club that is actually professional...) [Post edited 20 Sep 2021 13:31]

Warrington and Wakefield have professional rugby football league clubs. If it’s a trick question. | |

Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? on 13:18 - Sep 20 by IpswichKnight | Probably one of the Surrey towns as no professional club in Surrey at all. |
Woking F.C. would like a word. "Woking Football Club is a professional association football club, based in Woking, Surrey, England." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woking_F.C. | |

As a complete aside this just goes to show how crazy population density in Australia is. There are five cities in Australia bigger than Birmingham (Melbourne 4.97m; Sydney 4.96m; Brisbane 2.47m; Perth 2.08m; Adelaide 1.35m); but only 15 cities/towns bigger than Ipswich at 150k. Even more ridiculous is Western Australia - a state that if it were a country in its own right would be the 10th largest country in the world - the second largest city (after Perth) is Bunbury with a population of 75k - about the size of Burton which is 120th largest in the UK. | | | |

Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? on 13:22 - Sep 20 by Guthrum | Or Warrington. |
I looked up by biggest towns and with 172k population, this seemed to be the biggest. Assuming we mean outside of the EFL, as they have a team in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. Edit: Should have read further down, as others already made same point [Post edited 20 Sep 2021 16:29]

Not sure who that would be now - possibly somewhere in Germany maybe ? | | | |

Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? on 14:20 - Sep 20 by MattinLondon | Berwick or Gateshead? Think both are semi-professional so do they count? Somewhere in Cornwall if they don’t count - Truo?? Edit. Think Berwick and Truo are cities. Edit. Is it going to be a place off the mainland like a town in the Channel Islands? Think they are part of the UK. Think I’m overthinking this now. [Post edited 20 Sep 2021 14:27]

Berwick is really small. About the same population as Woodbridge. | |

Croydon's a London Borough, not sure how that counts as being a Town as well. | |

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... | |

Crystal Palace are Croydon's team though, let's be honest Likewise I assume in Dudley they support one of the Birmingham based clubs? Warrington and Wakefield are like to be Liverpool and Leeds I would assume? Surrey is definitely a strange case, Palace should theoretically be their team but they tend to support clubs like Chelsea and it was often joked the local team was Man U | |

Which is the biggest town in the UK without a professional football team? on 15:15 - Sep 20 by BloomBlue | But in that list Slough is at 41 and Warrington 39 and Warrington is a Town. |
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. | |
