Quite sad really.
Imagine a town in Scotland that size not having a football team. Or even one proportionately the same c.13k.
With a catchment area population of less than 25k, our local team - Highland League club Wick Academy - average around 450 over a season.
Inverness Caley Thistle average 2,500 with a city population of 72k.
Can the Worthing anomaly be down to the proximity of Brighton and Hove Albion?
