Of course Vale is a second name, you could say the same about Aston Villa or Crystal Palace in that case.

The name of the club isnt Port Vale, it's Burslem Port Vale, Burslem being the place in Stoke. It doenst get used much but is still official. If you have Palace then you should have Vale.

As others have said Palace should not be on here. Crystal Palace is the actual name of the place they play at, like Arsenal they don't have a second name.

Stanley is presumably Accrington. When were they in the top four tiers? I am not doubting, just asking. As for borough, hopefully BobManFord is joking. Middlesbrough is a town, and also NOT spelled MIddlesborough. Just FYI.

Aren't Accrington Stanley in Football League 2 right now? That is the 4th tier of English football and they've been there for the last 10 years or so I think.

I think the question master makes it clear its only English (or we'd have Thistle as well as Academicals) and top four levels (that discounts Harriers and probably a few more,... I think there is a case for saying we have Palace AND Vale ... OR neither.. but that's not a complaint, just a discusison point... Good quiz

Ok let's sort this out. There's only one way to do this. We should be looking for the last name of football clubs with multiple words. E.g we should have Ham and Vale and Palace. Stevenage have changed their name.

to conclude, great quiz.

I like it that in England they have a football team named after an economist: Milton Keynes Dons. Other countries could follow suit. Germany could have Borussia Karl Marx; the US, Milton Friedman FC; Scotland, Adam Smith United.

"End" is only a fragment of the suffix. The place isn't called "Preston North".

Crystal Palace is an area of London: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Crystal_Palace,_London

Hence, the "Palace" in "Crystal Palace" is part of the football club's core name - it is NOT a suffix. Just like the "and Hove" in "Brighton and Hove Albion FC" is also part of the club's core name.

Please remove "Palace" from this list.

Stevenage Borough are not called that anymore - just Stevenage FC. If Palace is allowed then Vale should be.

As others have mentioned, Palace should not be in there it is the name of the place. However, other people saying that Villa shouldn't be there are wrong. The place is Aston so Villa is a correct answer. Port Vale is a weird one, it's the only team in the football league that is not named after a place. So you could say Vale is the secondary name, or maybe the whole thing is a "secondary name"?

From the comments above it looks like some answers are being added - 'Vale' from Port Vale & 'Association' - Sunderland Association Football Club - needs adding for me mind.

Having read the comments, my opinion (for what it's worth):

1) Villa should be in there, because, as has been said, the name of the area is Aston, and, believe it or not, the club was named after an actual villa called Aston Villa. The suffix "Villa" applied to both the building and the club named after it.

2) MCRJON erroneously stated that Port Vale's official name is "Burslem Port Vale". It used to be, but that name hasn't been in use for over 100 years (it would be like saying that "Arsenal" should be in the quiz because the club used to be known as "Woolwich Arsenal") and even if that were the case, the suffix would've been "Port Vale", not just "Vale". Furthermore, there is no place in Stoke-on-Trent called "Port", so "Vale" is absolutely not the suffix and rightly excluded from this quiz.

3) As others have pointed out, Palace has to go. The club takes its full name (excluding Football Club, for the parasitic pedants) from an area of London, which, in turn, was named after a building of exactly the same name - much in the same way as Aston Villa.

A comparison would be if, say, South Shields made it to the Football League. The full name of the city is "South Shields", but, following the logic used in including "Palace", would the QM then be adding "Shields" to this quiz?

Similarly, there is an area in London called "West Ham", whose football club has United as its suffix, so those calling for "Ham" to be included are simply wrong.

4) I do hope that those calling for "Club" and "Association" are joking. Obviously, this quiz is about everything that excludes FC/AFC in the club's full name. Just a point of information for those that don't know (because AndyGordon brought it up), the A in AFC stands for association, as in association football - the full name of the sport, to differentiate it from other codes of football. Indeed, it's from the word "association" that we get the word "soccer" - yes, we English used the word first! In theory, FC and AFC could be used interchangeably, because they effectively mean the same thing. But to AndyGordon's point, the club is called Sunderland AFC, not Sunderland Association FC - it could be called Sunderland FC and have exactly the same function. So Association has no place in this quiz either.

5) I think the title "Secondary Names" is misleading; I think "Suffixes" would be more accurate.
