sticks 1969 Posted Wednesday at 19:07 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:07 Years ago I went out with a girl fro Accrington and the one thing I noticed when up there was the amount of lads who actually went to games which was du to the sheer amount of teams in the region that is something that is never going to happen in the south west unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted Wednesday at 19:19 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:19 (edited) Off the top of my head.. Blackburn, Preston Bolton, Wigan Accrington Tranmere? There must be more but that's EFL alone, there are more? I remember we all remember Bury and their sad demise.

Personally I don’t want to play a Derby. I know some fans will have a different view of it but last time out we lost three nil! Oh! That Derby!

So many clubs in a region, it’s impressive how well some of these clubs are supported despite the size of the towns and the fact they also have huge Prem clubs in the area. 15 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: We as a region, are not a football hotbed and it's reflected in a lot of our journeys. Hotbed of football or not, Preston and Blackburn aren’t taking thousands to Ipswich on a Tuesday night either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted yesterday at 10:55 Share Posted yesterday at 10:55 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Crackers Corner said: Wrexham very close too Wrexham is 35 miles from Manchester. Wrexham once won a place in European competition by winning Welsh Cup. It is UEFA ruling that the away team must spend the night before a match in the country of the opposition which meant that Wrexham who were drawn against Man U, had to stay in a hotel about five miles from their home ground to comply with the rules. Farcical ! Edited yesterday at 10:56 by cidered abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit it makes it easier for then..I think Rochdale maybe Non League now but Stockport did the reverse journey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The density of major conurbations are lower in our area. It means we have a wider supporter base than some areas though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
