    Is that an answer to the question two posts above? If so, it's wrong. Clubs in top four divisions only.

    True, and Total Network Solutions got loads of coverage a few back
    The OP only want league teams- top 4 divisions

    Just on TNS they are now known as The New Saints!

    In 2005, British Telecom took over Total Network Solutions thus ending the sponsorship deal. The club continues as a full-time outfit under The New Saints banner!

    The Arsenal is a defined object, not a defined place.

    A similar example is the NI league team Distillery which would have started as a employees/works team.

    In both cases, these clubs were named after a building/ place of work - which could be anywhere. They were not named after a fixed geographical reference point in either case.

    There's an Everton Valley, and Everton is the area along it. There's a Tranmere too, if the buses with Tranmere written on them are anything to go by :D

    Everton is a proper distict in Liverpool city

    There is a place called Arsenal in London, but it's named after the team, not the other way around.
