inverness caledonian thistle v hamilton academical

[Donnywolf]

s .... as I have just discovered is EVEN TOO LONG to fit in the thread subject line !!!

My question was and is can there be a fixture in the UK that features 2 longer and popularly used names ?

I know AFC Bournemouth USED to be Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic and Scunthorpe and Lyndsey United existed and may still do but the 2 above seem to be the champs for me

[cas rover]

Brighton and hove albion comes to mind not as long mind you
still early and i`m off to work maybe another will pop up

[CusworthRovers]

I think you are right, although any of these fixtures may also need the use of a 42\" TV


Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Bromwich Albion

 or Tottenham Hotspurs

[Highland Rover]

How about as European tie : Heart of Midlothian v Borussia Moechengladbach ?

[Savvy]

Havant and Waterlooville V Rushden and Diamonds

Would have been Gravesend and Northfleet but they've merged!

[snods big brother]

Daggenham and Redbridge?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Burslem Port Vale

[Woodhead Passer]

Kidderminster Harriers Football Club?

[German Rover]

Borussia Verein fur Leibesubungen 1900 Monchengladbach e.V. can't remember for the life of me what the e.V. means but its something epic and german.

[Donnywolf]

... YES you can but...

I did say that this MUST be the longest (largest) number of letters for a fixture in the UK using the teams \"usual names\" ... i.e. the names that the BBC would read them out at 5 pm

They would not I suggest say Hampton & Richmond Borough Football Club.  1 Whoever they are playing 0 ... but they do and did call the 2 teams above as above (if you  see what I mean)

Moves closer to that milestone of 500 posts - do I get eating a pie when I get to 500 ?

In the first class UK game no and PSV is an acronym of Philips Sport Verein (forgive any mis spelt words as I could not be bothered to Google it)

What about QPR

I DONT have to look that one up - Queens Park Rangers - is shortened of course to QPR and therefore is not shorter than Bury

[RedRover45]

[Mark DRFC]

Cambrian & Clydach Vale Vs Penrhiwceiber Rangers is a regular fixture in the welsh league Div 1 does that count?
Division 2 is even longer
Cardiff Bay Harlequins Vs Treharris Athletic Western

[TheRev]

Does Welsh football count?
