I should have got that much sooner, I've sort of been there. If it's where I think it is it's right next to a school.

Abergavenny Thursdays, so named because Thursday was a half-day in the town so that's when the players were available for matches, have been around since 1927 and were founding members of the glorified pub football known as the League of Wales but now ply their trade much further down the pyramid in the Gwent County League, Division Three.
On it goes to TyrrellRacing.

I have, on the basis that they are the only other club in the world (that is part of a league structure) named after a day of the week. Same reasons too, if I recall - Wednesday because of half day Wednesdays allowing the workers to play cricket, Thursday because of (something that happens in Abergavenny on Thursdays) allowing workers to play football.
Edit: Yes. That.

Involving wool, a copy of Beastiality Today and one triple thick condom?
I was going to have a random guess at Newi Cefn Druids, perhaps thinking that Cefn was a day of the week. Alas, I was wrong, but seeing as Welsh is a made up language anyway, I'll create an 8th day for it. We shall call it Moonday.
Also, Bert Trautmann is way too easy.
School going well this year, huh?

In the whole of the UK there's three League clubs that contain all five vowels (AEIOU) in their given name (minus "Football Club") - including one that contains "all six" (AEIOU and Y). Two examples from the ineligible League of Ireland are Drogheda United and Monaghan United.
Name them

- Egg's box? £3.60.
Another interesting fact is that their all United's, but then again theres 3 vowels in United.
Anyway;
Hartlepool United (A, E, I, O and U)
Rotherham United (A, E, I, O and U)
Torquay United (A, E, I, O, U and Y)

I'm not accepting Queen's Park as there is a place in Glasgow called Queens Park. Basically what I'm looking for (if there wasn't a football club of that name) and someone said, "lets go to Queens Park" you'd know where to go. If someone said, "lets go to Queen of the South" or "lets go to Hibs", you'd have no idea where to go.
The other 2 are correct though.
So that's us got
Rangers
Celtic
St Johnstone
Queen of the South
Hibernian
St Mirren
6 down, 4 to go

No for Airdrie. There is unfortunately a place called Airdrie, commonly known as Airdire, at least to me...
Yes, for the other 2
And yes to Albion & Raith Rovers.
They'll be dancing in the streets of Raith/Total Network Solutions tonight.
Rangers
Celtic
Hearts
Hibs
St Mirren
St Johnstone
QOS
Raith Rovers
Albion Rovers
Clyde.
And that concludes the question, and I've no idea whose go it is now.
