Football / Cities Facts

[Cardiff-Cal]

Following on from the fact posted in the Devon Derby thread - Plymouth being the biggest city in England to have never had a top flight team (courtesy of JamesWales)

I was wondering what other similar facts people on here may have.

Two I know of.

Largest city to have never had a football league team?

And largest city to have never had a Premier League team?

Feel free to have a go at answering.

IÂ’m sure someone that either already knows the answers, or decides to google it, will answer them pretty quickly on here. 😁

Any others?

I assume Wakefield, but maybe 100 years ago they had a team in the league for a year or two.

Second one has to be Bristol surely?

I've read before that Bedford is certainly one of the largest places to have never had a league team. Would have been Milton Keynes before I guess?
