West Brom aren’t the Throstles and haven’t been for over 100 years. Not sure where you got this.

bantams? isn’t that Bradford?

This is old, but it’s curious how some teams have had the same nickname for years and others have changed. Aren’t Barnsley known as Tarn or Tykes? And Cov haven’t been the bantams for a long, long time.
Man City fans aren’t called Citizens, they’re called plastics.

It’s probably been over 100 years since we were known as the Brewers, how old is this list?

Where are Wimbledon?

Middlesbrough and Newport both being called Ironsides.
Newport haven’t been nicknamed the ironsides since 1989 when the club folded.

Can we play guess the year? “The Hartlepools” merged into Hartlepool in 67 so it’s at least before then.
Has Watford not been the hornets for like 100 years cause of the old badge??

We’ve been the gas since the 80s and the pirates from 1930. Must be a list from the 20s

Hartlepool Utds nickname is ‘The Monkeyhangers’ isn’t it?
They hung a monkey during the Napoleonic wars because they thought it was a French spy.

Colliers? Never heard of that. Always been The Tykes or ‘Tarn’to anyone local.

I thought we were the Foxes? Never heard us be referred to as Filberts before.

I’m estimating 1930’s for this. We’re on the list & we were Rotherham County until ’25, plus Wednesdays got renamed in ’29, but the list is clearly very old.

Sure Huddersfield are known as the Terriers/Dog Botherers

Inaccurate now, Barnsley are the Tykes.

Nothing to see here, certainly not a nickname synonymous with a sex act in a public toilet

“Swansea Town”

Harrogate have no nicknames apparently

Pretty much no one from Bolton actually uses Trotters. Basically is a name used by the media and that’s it honestly.

In my town, Villa’s nickname is the Cunts

Charlton are now the Addicks instead of haddicks just because of our lazy accents.

Foxes isn’t correct

Bristol Rovers should be “The Pirates” its the club’s official nickname reflecting the maritime history of Bristol. The local nickname of the club is “The Gas”, derived from the gasworks next to their former home, Eastville Stadium.
