People watching this in the US probably think Blyth Spartans are the biggest team in the North.
I don’t know about you lot, but the intense rivalry between Newcastle and Carlisle seems to have died down in recent years…
who knew that Wolverhampton was in Cheshire

Ah Everton, the pride of Porthmadog.
Not sure how anyone could turn that in and think ‘I did a good job with this’. I mean this would be marked down at Primary school, but the production company loved it.
Where is the pride of Kent, their only EFL team, Gillingham? We’re in Wrexhams league too 🤦

“It’s a competition of underdogs, and is held in very high esteem in England and Wales”.

The show in my opinion does a very good job of representing the minor leagues and the overall sport.
Wdym? Southampton football club are clearly based in the New Forest/Bournemouth now!
