Surprised not to see Blyth Spartans. Crazy name. Historic FA Cup run in the 70s, plus a few more lesser but good FA Cup runs. |  |

Bath City? |
Bath used to host Bristol Rovers in the 90s, so good call.
I'd probably say another West Country side, Truro City |  |

This has now got me wondering the closest Suffolk has been to having a second football league club. I'm guessing it would be when Lowestoft were in the Conference North a few seasons ago? |
Went to Lowestoft today, lost 3-1 to runaway leaders Banbury, and it kicked off in the stands at one point!! | | | |

If you pronounce it as a good Lowestoftian it would be called "putting the boat in". | |

Clubs that have had a big non-league following have historically not always retained that status indefinitely. Before Cambridge Utd somewhat surprisingly emerged into league football Cambridge City were the bigger club. Their rivalry with Town often provided crowds around 20k.
It really depends where you want history to start as many of today's big clubs are on the second or third iteration.
Chelmsford City were regularly up there in attendance terms but fell away as a force at almost the same moment that promotion through the pyramid replaced the dubious process of application. Ditto Enfield.
You could also argue that technically, since the time when the company that underwrite Wrexham underwent a change in the Noughties following administration, such has been their constant political readjustments that Wrexham AFC are a new club that has never yet played in the league. The fans have retained the name, as you would, but it's continuation is arguable. |
A good shout with Enfield, they were a very big non league side in the past. I remember them being managed by Graham Roberts (ex Spurs) and they were a major non league scalp back then. | |
