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

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. [Post edited 22 Sep 2021 11:02]

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... [Post edited 22 Sep 2021 11:08]

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. |  | | |
