Croydon Town FC doesnt exist. Its either Croydon FC (Kent Premier League), who play at said Arena (not exactly close to Palace) or Croydon Athletic FC (Isthmian 1 South) who play at Mayfields, again not really that close. Thornton Heath is one of the best stops for Palace IIRC

Fine. It was Croydon FC then. If anyone can find anything correct about my above post, please reply below

I agree Matt, anyway since I'm organising the event I say that Watford is in... end of...

Now all we need to do is agree if we are doing this as one large team or racing against each other. I have added a few poll options.

Seeing as i am a qualified referee in this country as well as Finland (trying telling people over there the match is off because of snow/weather conditions) Soup Dragon should be lord and master and have the final say.Its almost like he is the Football Manager and we are his players to do his bidding.

While in London the other day logging and reading the free papers at the time
i read the sports page and it states Watford is a london club.Just interested where we would have the starting position from may i suggest either Charlton or Watford.

Well (obviously) there's no simple right answer to whether Watford is "a London club". Certainly their ground lies outside Greater London, but they are often considered a London club for the purposes of London's local TV or radio stations, or indeed newspapers, who will cover their matches. Since Watford is accessible by Underground, their inclusion in this challenge seems reasonable.

Mind you, one of those papers also lists Gillingham in their London club section (and I have a clipping from the Metro about two all-London games in the League Cup, one of which is cited as Watford - Gillingham). So I don't think they're that accurate a barometer.

For the purposes of this challenge, London is classed as any league ground that can be visited using a zone 1-9 travelcard, therefore Wtaford is in and sorry James.... Gillingham is out
