Great quiz, and really generous type-ins too... Middlesbrough Ironopolis requires you to type it all in, whereas on other teams, just "middlesbroughi" would work..

Several of these type-ins are odd. Rotherham requiring "rotherham u" at minimum seems off. There are also several teams with established type-ins from the Premier League/All 92 quizzes that you didn't use here, which is rather jarring.
