Football Question...

Burton

Yes! Burton Swifts and Burton something, both in the old Div One (might be wrong on that), merged to form Burton United I think, one of them has the only winning advantage in head-to-heads against the Scum.

By Scum I mean Scumchester Urinals of course, who now play in the Theatre of Wet Dreams, no bitterness there....

You said two top-flight teams at the same time. Two Burtons haven't played in that, surely?

Two earlier ones might have played together in the second division, when there were all kinds about like Gainsborough Trinity, Glossop and New Brighton.

Bit boring but during my research into Bolton Wanderers old Pikes Lane Ground and the early days of the football league I think there has only been one English Town (i.e. not a city then or now) that has accommodated two Top-flight teams at the same time, Bolton nearly did it, sort of - Halliwell FC nearly made the first Division Two league in 1992, one town, two teams in the league....

But I think there's one Town did do it, anyone fancy a punt?

Here's Pikes Lane, circa 1892, I can tell it's 1992 because the now demolished Deane Saviours RC Church is being built on Deane Road behind......

Said two compatibility. My question is a team two famous star should do coexist.
