What goes on down there 👀
Just a lot of elderly people and tourists. Us younger people are priced out of living here so most just leave.
Never thought I'd see Cottesmore Amateurs appear on this sub. My local team. Whoever researched this had to go a long way down the football league ladder to find them.
Also crazy to see my home team of Woking FC here! Kind of crazy that Surrey has no better teams but guess London teams take all the talent
Boing boing woking woking
Same for Kent
Essex football is in a poor place right now. I mean, it was never in an especially remarkable place, but I'd like to see one or both of the clubs return to the Championship at some point.
What is the black and gold badge between Villa and Leicester? I recognize almost all of the badges on here but that one.
Leamington. Warwickshire is one of those counties that lost a lot of its population to boundary changes, historically it would include Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Coventry City. Warwickshire’s cricket stadium (Edgbaston) is very much in Birmingham.
If you are into video games, the windmill on the badge of Leamington FC is the same one as you jump through in a car in Forza Horizon 4, which was made by a studio based in Leamington Spa. Sadly it’s had no sails on for at least 18 months, I think the owner got pissed off with people going up there to do social media shit and leaving looking like a tip on a daily basis.
Is it Chesterton windmill? Or a different one?
For those that don’t know, loads of counties were created in the 60s/70s (can’t remember exactly) to better represent the growth of cities. So we saw West Midlands (basically Birmingham + Wolverhampton), Tyne and Wear (Newcastle + Sunderland), Greater Manchester, Merseyside (Liverpool and The Wirral) and Greater London all get carved out of the historic counties (Middlesex actually just got almost entirely consumed by London).
It was the mid 1960s for London and the mid 70s for Birmingham. I think the rest of the country was also mid 70s.
Up the brakes!
Relegated to National League south and still the biggest team in Somerset. Big up the Yeovil.
I like how the current top three in the National League South are all Somerset teams.
Brings a tear to my eye
I’m watching through the Winter King series, and it’s clear the fine people of Somerset have more important things anyway, like defend the Kingdom of Dumnonia against the invading Saxons
Hampshire is red
May not be for much longer given current form...
Lincoln City are massive
Apparently we're fucking massive
Yeeeeesss, Northampton Town! Up the Cobblers!
Sixfields massiv!
Uppa town🤝
Well, we had a real battle on our hands, but once again being the only league club in Kent has paid off.
What is the team on the Isle of Wight?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowes_Sports_F.C.
never heard of them, just googled Cowes Football Club and they had the right logo
I'm just laughing at "The Yachtsmen"
🤷🏻♂️
Do you have a text/spreadsheet version of this? Is love to see the different levels all the teams are at, also there are a few badges I don't recognise
This is fascinating and delightful, and I am now obsessed with the absolute unit in the Hereford club badge.
Crewe Alex champions of Cheshire
Man Utd in the mud
Didn’t realise cowes were better than Newport now
