Sounds like it to me.

Has to be Wakefield (Bigger than Cardiff)

Those figures are all out of whack. The criteria for each population is different. No way is Leeds a city of over 700,000 people. It's not much bigger than Cardiff, if at all.

Wakefield is nowhere near as big as Cardiff. I doubt if it's even half the size.

Plymouth has to be up there

Just googled Wakefield and it says it has a population of 99,000 (as of 2011)

How can that be bigger than Cardiff?

According to Wiki the 2011 (census data) population of the City of Wakefield was 76,886 and the District of Wakefield was 325,837.

Either measure, it is much smaller than Cardiff.

I may be wrong but I think that is comparing apples with pears. The Wakefield population figure includes separate towns covered by the Wakefield District Council - Hemsworth, Castleford, Pontefract, Osset etc. I don't think the Cardiff figure includes other towns? The Sheffield figure is for the city and a few outlying villages but not complete other towns like for the Wakefield district.

Whenever i go through it Wakefield always feels like a middling West Yorkshire town - not a city to compare with other places at the top end of the list you linked.

Anyway, the answer to the OP must still be 'yes'.

[jon1959]

Yes


(It isn't but anything to needle Jursset).

Actually the article refers to multi-club cities.

Basically the whole point of this thread is the answer needs to Bristol.

In terms of population I'd say Birmingham.

However Bristol must be pushing for top spot.

Sorry, thought that we were contemplating current failures.

Apart from some mickey mouse cup for lower league sides, have Bristol City won anything?

They borrowed the Welsh Cup off us once

Wikipedia are surprisingly damning "Since relegation in 1911, they only returned to the top division from 1976 to 1980"
