Has to be Wakefield (Bigger than Cardiff)
Plymouth has to be up there
Not according to Wikipedia it isn'tQuote:

Yes
(It isn't but anything to needle Jursset).
According to Wiki the 2011 (census data) population of the City of Wakefield was 76,886 and the District of Wakefield was 325,837.Quote:

Either measure, it is much smaller than Cardiff.
Warrington , Salford, .
Swansea should have its status striped, as its a Town
Exeter , York , Lincoln are worse.
What difference would stripes make ?Quote:

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

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.Quote:

Anyway, the answer to the OP must still be 'yes'.
Villa have won The European Cup. And been Champions and FA Cup winners 7 times.Quote:

They should just merge and get over it, the place isn’t big enough for 2 clubs anyway.....
Wakefield is the biggest city without a recognised football team.
Bristol has to be the biggest city without any real history in the top flight over the last few decades.
They borrowed the Welsh Cup off us onceQuote:

Just because they have a cathedral, we know deep down they aren't real cities. Bath, Hereford. Ffs LlandaffQuote:

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.Quote:

I think around 500000 is nearer the mark
Leeds population includes towns like otley .......miles away from the city of Leeds
It's like Newcastle , population wise it is given as smaller than Cardiff but go there and it is part of a huge urban sprawl that merges into one ......Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside etc
It's all very confusing but go to Manchester city centre and compare the size of the buildings and amenities to Leeds and the difference is enormous ......Manchester city centre is huge and serves as an urban core for the city of Manchester , whose population is given as smaller than Leeds ......and Stockport , Wigan , Oldham , Rochdale , Bury etc
Oldham ......population about 100k
Oldham metropolitan borough population .....230 k !!!!
That's the size of the city , the rest is all the town's within a ten mile radiusQuote:

Has anyone considered including Penarth, Barry, or even Caerphilly, when calculating Cardiff's population?
