What If Everyone Supported Their Nearest Football Club?

I’m surprised Carlisle are so low. They must have pretty much the whole of Cumbria and even parts of North Yorkshire.

Jocks wi nae brains

United are right in the city. Wednesday are out on the edge, right by the moors.

What was that Billy Fury song? ‘Halfway to Barnsley’

Barrow and Workington find this amusing..... North Yorkshire didn't even bother reading it

Says it’s calculated using ‘straight line distance’. So, a clubs catchment area stops at the point another club becomes closer. Looking at the clubs, this is a few years old and the rags now would be capped even more due to the emergence of Salford City. The rags’ position does seem a bit odd, but Trafford Park is sparsely populated and the west side of Manchester does thin out pretty quickly and then they’ll start running into Bolton, Wigan etc. We have the same issue running into Stockport and Oldham, but central, East, south Manchester is more populous.
Overall, it’s a bit of fun and anything that demeans the rags is good for a laugh.

Funny how Altrincham are higher than the rags. Presumably the rags support is monitored from Stretford, Firswood and Gorse Hill

I cant see all the rags and dippers changing to support Dover !

I dont think I have ever seen a dover fc shirt and I worked in dover for 2 years lol

I'd much rather see a league full of teams from major cities. Like Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, etc. Fuck off Bournemouth and Brighton and Brentford for good

I’d be an Altrincham fan like Taylor

If I supported my local club, I'd be routing for the Seattle Sounders.

The P/L has spoiled me - I've absolutely no interest in watching 3rd rate MLS sides.

Well those clubs need to get their fingers out and get promoted, why dismiss clubs that have worked their bollocks off to get into the top flight?

Disagree about Brighton anyway, it's a good away trip for a weekend.

Fair point re Brighton.

I know what you mean but I guess I'm talking from a more fan culture point of view. I just think the biggest cities should be represented in the league I'd even support seeing the Glasgow teams work their way into it
