All lost football league status and at least four went bust... if you get a map of the UK and draw a line between Workington and Exeter... it really is odd!
What do these football league (and former football league) clubs have in common: Exeter City, Newport County, Hereford United, Wrexham FC, Chester City, Southport, Barrow, Workington Town? If you are wondering look at a map of the UK!
