Telford (39) and Gloucester (42) are the only other top 50 places I've not visited, football trips have ticked off a few of the places I otherwise wouldn't have visited

2) Birmingham, thought I'd be the only one ...

HansG | 13.01.21 - 10:02 a.m. | #

M | 13.01.21 - 11:25 a.m. | #

So near the top I overlooked it - and it's somewhere I'd really like to go.

PVR | 13.01.21 - 4:38 p.m. | #

37 - Poole

Almost entirely down to watching a lot of football matches. I think Leicester was the highest if I excluded places where I've only been to a match.

Phil J | Homepage | 13.01.21 - 4:51 p.m. | #

Has to go back to the base data, and I reckon it's Stroud (built up area population of 62,279).

Man of Kent | 13.01.21 - 5:29 p.m. | #

28) M****n K****s.

I'm another who checked off the majority of the top 50 thanks to football, mostly Wimbledon FC, mostly in the 90s.

Wayne | 13.01.21 - 6:23 p.m. | #

2) Birmingham. Thought I’d be the only one to say I thought I’d be the only one.

Princessmaycontainnuts | 13.01.21 - 6:31 p.m. | #

Graham T | 13.01.21 - 7:49 p.m. | #

2. Birmingham. And only 8 of the whole 100

M | 13.01.21 - 8:03 p.m. | #

I am sorry to say 3) Liverpool.

29) Bolton

Michael | 13.01.21 - 9:28 p.m. | #

4) Bristol; I've been to the rest of the top 12, if going to the stadium for Olympic football is OK for Coventry.

TheLupineOne | 13.01.21 - 9:55 p.m. | #

120 answers, and I've now stopped counting, thanks.

Bit late ... but I've never been to 13) Newcastle

H SE18 | 14.01.21 - 9:22 a.m. | #

4 - Bristol

Andrew Jarman | 14.01.21 - 3:45 p.m. | #

27) Southend on Sea for me
