Football Question...

[stek]

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......

That's a good question. Are you counting Darwen as part of Blackburn?

No, because it isn't!

Like saying Westhoughton is part of Bolton!

I can give a clue, it's a Midlands connection that has no league team now. Actually I'm checking that, league is so messed up even like Dagenham and Redbridge of summert are in it...

Bugger me they are back in the league - might not be same club but the town does have a Football League Team now...

They're separate towns, so presumably not.
