Are you just curious, or is there a reason for the question?

i've been making up an away grounds checklist to tick of the ones I've been to and the many that I still need to get too, and just began to notice that lots of the nicknames are shared amongst teams like "The Magpies"...just wondered if anyone knew how many there were in the FL?

Surprised to see Crystal Palace listed under "Eagles"
"C**ts" would've been a bit more appropriate, shirley.

I have, by plastic Villa fans who read it in something like the Merlin sticker book though...
