Named after the pub/ house the club was formed in.
No such place as Port Vale in Stoke, the ground is in Burslem.

It's about as literal a name as you can get.

The further you are away from Burslem, the better.
No such place as Raith as in Raith Rovers either.

St Johnstone was the one that perplexed me till my Dad got lost driving us on a family holiday and we arrived at the ground trying to get out of Perth.
Stevenage and Crawley are reversals of this quiz: they’re definitely places, but I still find it hard to believe they’re football teams.

To be fair to Berwick Rangers, it’s probably easier for them to travel to matches in Scotland than it would be in England.

This is the kind of shit I love from the owners of Wrexham
Just involving the locals in stupid stuff like this is great. The local choir are part of this and it must be brilliant to get dragged along for the ride with Reynolds and the other one

Why are they called Port Vale? - feature by onevalefan.co.uk
Why are they called Port Vale? Here is an explanation of the origin of the football club's name by the onevalefan.co.uk website.
Perhaps the poster's reference to 'Stoke' is a generic one. It's used by most Potters instead of Stoke-on-Trent and not necessarily Stoke-upon-Trent?

Not "Newcastle-on-Tyne" United, either (though if there's some logical reason for that, I'm happy to be corrected).Why are they called Port Vale? - feature by onevalefan.co.uk

It's very funny to me that there only seem to be ~theories~ about where the name Port Vale came from.

If you say "Newcastle" then pretty much everyone will assume you mean the one in the North East. Not the one in Staffordshire or the one in Shropshire or the one in Australia.

Loads of those though. Millwall don't play in Millwall. Bolton don't play in Bolton any more.
