Cardiff's in Wales, isn't it?
If so, why are Cardiff in an English league?
And isn't that the same for Swansea?

and Wrexham, yes - they moved from the welsh league into the english league, because the welsh league was too easy. I don't know why... before my time  Ask Mr. Riley  |

I think Berwick have been in the Scottish leagues for a fair while now, their choice was to do with location, being as near to most scottish teams, than Torquay, Bournemouth, etc. They are my 2nd team, so are allowed, Gretna recently joined the league as well, despite being in England. Carlisle wanted to join as well, cos they would prolly make the prem eventually. |

English teams should play in the English divisions and Welsh teams should play in the Welsh divisions! |
