Or there's the Rugby Union approach; where not actually being anywhere near London is no impediment to having "London" in your club name

I'm pretty sure that's also the Ryan Air approach.

TRIFFIC TRAFFICJAM



Made me chuckle.



In answer to the OP, it will probably be one of the smaller sides. Maybe even as low down as Brentford, Leyton Orient and so on.

Arse-anal, Chelsea and Tottingham have established names and profiles so they don't need it (in saying that, didn't the old CL graphic used to read London Arsenal?)

Should Millwall be Millwall when they moved south of the river away from Millwall over 100 years ago?

But the most important historical link is the old Millwall docker gangs and their traditional hatred of West Ham - they couldn't give that heritage up and become Bermondsey FC.

The new owners at Blackburn could move them down there and reform Blackburn Olympic?
