Quote from PeterH


And as a bit of trivia, Wakefield is the largest town not to have a league football club. 




A bit more trivia  ... Wakefield is actually a City. It was granted City status in the 1880's when the new Cathedral was built.   Along with Liverpool and Newcastle upon Tyne.


"Henry VIII created 6 cathedral towns in the 1540's and gave them all city status by letters patent. This created the association between having a cathedral and city status and the other towns with cathedrals at the time also became to be considered cities since "time immemorial". 

The government in the 1880's tried to maintain the link, when new cathedrals were founded in Liverpool, Wakefield and Newcastle, by giving all three towns city status soon after"

You need to keep your pub trivia up to date as I think you'll find that 'honour' currently lies with Luton

Ahh yes, forgot they went crap and dropped out.

I wonder if the other piece of football trivia applicable to this thread, is still true?

"Hull City are the only PL/FL football club whose name doesn't contain a bowl"

Hard to keep up with this stuff with all the teams swapping with the conference.

There's good and bad bits in every Town, City, and lots of villages too. Wakey is no worse than any other and better than some.
