abbeyedges   82 #3 Posted August 3, 2020 The idea will appeal to the many modern Wednesdayites who feel they are more 'massive' than the City of Sheffield.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just to add to the debate  who named Port Vale ( from Burslem) and Grimsby Town ( Cleethorpes) and even Man U was founded under the name of Newton Heath.

Ridgewalk   90 #7 Posted August 4, 2020 Good idea that. Given that the Blades are now being referred to as " Sheffield" in the National media it might be a good idea for the Owls to reassert their identity. 1 minute ago, ALAN 58 said:  Like yourself Jeff ,i have never found the reason and can only summize it,s because we are from Sheffield.

QPR, Arsenal, Tranmere Rovers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I believe the club Port Vale was originally named Burslem Port Vale and I think Tranmere is an area in Birkenhead. As for QPR...got me there.
