Manchester United are situated in old trafford part of the metropolitan borough of Manchester
Population 13,000 approx.
2,000 more than Burslem.
It could be argued that there a difference between the City of Stoke-On-Trent, the town of Burslem and the County Borough of Stoke-On-Trent, which they both represent a constituent part of. Not that I'm an expert. It's just that I used to work with a Port Vale fan.
Stoke isn't your typical city. It's about 8 distinct towns merged into one pretty shitty city. Vale fans pretty much come from burslem & to a lesser extent tunstall. Having spent a lot of time up there, I don't think the comparison of burslem with other small towns with football clubs is unfair.
