    Norwich Vermont without a nick
    Wolverhampton is grinded down and made into a road in Ohio
    which Sheffield Wednesday use to get to their home ground where they go under the name Buckeye’s

          Not to mention early NASL, when many British clubs decamped to America during the Summer of Love.

            That was the United Soccer Association.

            By the time the USA merged with the NPSL to form the original NASL, the "import teams" were gone.

              A good chunk of the early tulsa roughnecks were ex derby county.

              I am very impressed PPV. That took some serious thought and time.

                Brilliant, they wouldn't even have to change their name.

                  I was thinking they'd move to Utah and become the Utah Blues.

                    Exeter would have a famous academy, producing fine young men destined for great things. So, no change there.

                        Arsenal would exist and would be pretty much everywhere, no? Certainly in the homes of all NRA members for a start
