Found this on the Guardian website - football.guardian.co.uk/news/theknowledge/0,,933820,00.html SMALLEST LEAGUE TEAM "Which League team comes from the town with the smallest population? My money's on Gillingham but that may just reflect my lack of knowledge of places like Rushden and Colchester," says typical Londoner Mike Burkmisher. "And which is the most successful club per head of population?" "It's got to be Wrexham (about 50,000). Gillingham is like LA by comparison," says Simon Roberts, a man who clearly needs to get out more. Or at the very least visit Gillingham. John Whiting, on the other hand, disagrees. "I've read that Irthingborough, home of Rushden & (Irthingborough) Diamonds is the smallest town with a league team: about 8,000, I think." Valiant attempts and no mistake, gents, but downright feeble when compared with Andy Morrison's seemingly irrefutable response: "The answer must be Port Vale," he declares. "They've won the LDV Cup once without having any population whatsoever." If anyone can top that we'll be mightily impressed. Amused me.
