Playing Havant and Waterlooville (22 letters) got me thinking about who are the team with the longest name that we have played.

Obvious thoughts were Wolverhampton Wanderers (also 22) and Brighton And Hove Albion (21) but I reckon that at sometime in their history we must have played AFC Bournemouth when they were called Bournemouth And Boscombe Athletic (30 letters).

Am I missing anyone obvious or did we play some weird and wonderfully named team in the FA Cup in the 1800's.

And yes, I have got too much time on my hands.

I've changed the rules to matches that have actually been attended by the poster which still gives you an advantage.

"Did the mods take this into account, when aaron slobbers all over threads with his garbage and attention seeking posts ( though not always) that when he gets put in his place, he could abuse his position and delete comments and block members- no offence but he's the sort of mammary that would do this. the whole decision is beyond belief imo" Hagrid
