CavySlaveJambo Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Port Vale: this is on Wikipedia Port Vale are one of the few English league clubs not to be named after a city or town. The name Port Vale exists on maps pre-dating the 1876 formation of the club, and is a reference to a valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal, associated with the city's pottery industry. So it is named after a place. And one linked to the city (Stoke) as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Spacey Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Raith Rovers? The battle of Raith was near Kirkcaldy and I believe that's where they take the name from, despite Raith Estate being part of Kirkcaldy it is generally quite a newish scheme so nothing to do with the team St Mirren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye at Ochilview (sp) pitch was too small and couldn't afford to build a new stadium/sort it out. Was Firs Park the one with the Hedges around it?
