The city now named Stoke-on-Trent was officially born on the 31st March 1910, with the Federation of the Six Towns.
This brought together the boroughs of Hanley, Burslem, Longton and Stoke, together with the districts of Tunstall and Fenton.
Stoke was chosen as the seat of power, despite the fact that Hanley, and indeed Burslem, had been far better established since Edwardian times. The legacy of this union lives on undiminished, as locals will refer to 'the Potteries', meaning the various towns, rather than the official title of 'Stoke-on-Trent'.

thats what i thought, untill i found this

"Also for consideration, although controversial, is the city of Croydon (330,688) - controversial because the hallowed grounds of Selhurst Park fall within the London borough but not the city perimeter," he says. "Crystal Palace itself sits in the borough of Bromley."

What was first used at the 1969 FA Cup final and has been used by just about everybody in this country since then.

Is it colour television footage?
No that's not it. Nothing to do with TV, or colour, or even footage for that matter. Or the ball.

I said just about everybody in this country will have used one since, so I think that might rule out corner flags and ballboys!

A further clue might be that I expect the only people in the country not to have used one directly would be the very young.
