Of course Vale is a second name, you could say the same about Aston Villa or Crystal Palace in that case.

As others have said Palace should not be on here. Crystal Palace is the actual name of the place they play at, like Arsenal they don't have a second name.

Stanley is presumably Accrington. When were they in the top four tiers? I am not doubting, just asking. As for borough, hopefully BobManFord is joking. Middlesbrough is a town, and also NOT spelled MIddlesborough. Just FYI.

Aren't Accrington Stanley in Football League 2 right now? That is the 4th tier of English football and they've been there for the last 10 years or so I think.

I think the question master makes it clear its only English (or we'd have Thistle as well as Academicals) and top four levels (that discounts Harriers and probably a few more,... I think there is a case for saying we have Palace AND Vale ... OR neither.. but that's not a complaint, just a discusison point... Good quiz

Ok let's sort this out. There's only one way to do this. We should be looking for the last name of football clubs with multiple words. E.g we should have Ham and Vale and Palace. Stevenage have changed their name.

to conclude, great quiz.

I like it that in England they have a football team named after an economist: Milton Keynes Dons. Other countries could follow suit. Germany could have Borussia Karl Marx; the US, Milton Friedman FC; Scotland, Adam Smith United.

It would need to a pair of economists :). Maynard Friedman has a certain ring.

"End" is only a fragment of the suffix. The place isn't called "Preston North".

Crystal Palace is an area of London: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Crystal_Palace,_London

Hence, the "Palace" in "Crystal Palace" is part of the football club's core name - it is NOT a suffix. Just like the "and Hove" in "Brighton and Hove Albion FC" is also part of the club's core name.

Please remove "Palace" from this list.

Stevenage Borough are not called that anymore - just Stevenage FC. If Palace is allowed then Vale should be.

As others have mentioned, Palace should not be in there it is the name of the place. However, other people saying that Villa shouldn't be there are wrong. The place is Aston so Villa is a correct answer. Port Vale is a weird one, it's the only team in the football league that is not named after a place. So you could say Vale is the secondary name, or maybe the whole thing is a "secondary name"?

Remembered the likes of "Alexandra" and "Stanley" but not "Hotspur" or "Forest"! Can't believe myself...
