    Several Football League teams have played against Rangers in cup competitions, Ibrox was for several years the biggest football stadium in Britain. Depends what you mean by “hosting”,

    The team played English Football league games. Neither they nor the stadium still exist. They played 42 league games and one FA Cup game over two seasons and the total attendance for these games was less than the capacity for one game! They hold the record for the lowest attendance for a Football League Saturday game – 469.

    Well the stadium was the West Ham Stadium, although West Ham never played there. It was the greyhound/speedway track.

    Thames AFC was “invented” so the stadium got used on a Saturday afternoon. Never took off, presumably because of competition from West Ham, Orient, Millwall and Charlton. Folded after a couple of years.

    I was looking at old photos of the ground last week On a Pinterest page on lost stadia.

    well what was the question he didn’t answer, Thames FC played at the West Ham Stadium which held 120,000, I was only reading a article about them a few weeks ago.

    He’s answered it now Mick, it was the West Ham Stadium. Good shout by TW though, I reckon White City (93000) would be the third largest to stage League football? What was the second largest? (I think Mick will get this one).

    Near enough opposite. QPR have had more moves, and more home grounds, than any other club.
