    Name the 8 cities in England that produce 2 or more league football teams. 7 are dead easy but 1 of them is a bit tricky, unless you live near there or have been to both grounds in the city.

      Hi and great question.

      I have heard it before and I think Stoke is perhaps the one you are referring to (Port Vale)

    I thought it might be too easy for you.

    Like you (I presume) I'm still waiting to hear my Mastermind audition outcome.
