THAT OLD QUESTION
"Following on from a pub conversation last night, we were wondering which town is the largest town in the UK without a professional football team,"
"It is worth noting, that the Borough of Dudley (population 194,919) doesn't have a team that plays in the Football League. Dudley Town play at tier six of the non-league pyramid (nine levels below the Premier League)."
We think Dudley might well be a worthy winner. The City of Westminster, with a population of 181,766, doesn't have a professional football club to call its own and neither does Wakefield, population 79,885, deep in rugby league country.
Poole Town (144,800) ply their trade in the Wessex Premier, while Telford, Slough, Gloucester, Newport and Eastbourne are some other under-performing footballing towns.
