Many years ago I used to work with someone from Burslem who made the point to me as to where Port Vale were actually located. I had never heard of the place before!
Apparently, there's a statue of Lemmy there.

I think many of us probably found out where Port Vale play when we were in school. I know I did. Remember the old football wall map with the club badges on it? Loads of us had those when we were kids.
Anyway, according to Wiki, Burslem is one of the six towns that along with Hanley, Tunstall, Fenton, Longton and Stoke-upon-Trent form part of the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England.

The wall map must have passed me by. Hence my ignorance until my early twenties!
Later in life I was posted to Rosyth for three months and discovered that there is no town called Raith. The eponymous team (that I got around to seeing) plies their trade in the town of Methil.

Not really clever, but it is a rare example of a team being named after somewhere they've NEVER played. In fact off the top of my head I can't think of another one as even ManUre played briefly in Manchester despite now being based in Salford.

Oops. For 'Methil' read 'Kirkcaldy'.

Ah yes, Stamford Bridge, where the Anglo-Saxon Casuals turned over the Norwegian Ultras!
Definitely not in Chelsea.

Re: PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Coach parking for Cardiff’s 19 coaches and 6 mini-buses was changed yesterday afternoon, we now got a miles walk to the ground, nothing laid on for disabled fans.
Total chaos
Coach park shuts 1 hour after the game

Stoke City Council have tapped into the market of people wanting to get the **** out of the place as quickly as possible.

I’ve been told they’re all thick in Hamilton.
Queen of the South play in Dumfries.
Spartans certainly don’t play in Sparta.
