Since they are based in England I am curious about why they play in Scotland. I know they are on the boarder but why is this allowed?

I'll answer your question with another: Why do you care?

Well I know the English FA came before the Scottish so I think this team should be playing in England by default. This is nothing like the Welsh teams that play in England. I just thought about this today and it made no sense to me.Cam wrote:I'll answer your question with another: Why do you care?

I dunno why but it's probably just cos they're on the border like you said.

Only thing I could think of is perhaps they were once based in Scotland and something happened to their ground that caused them to move to the other side of the border.Cam wrote:Weather130 wrote:Well I know the English FA came before the Scottish so I think this team should be playing in England by default.

When were they founded?

Alright I did my research is found out that a very long time ago Berwick was actually part of Scotland and in the late 1400s England captured the town. I also read that some people today want Berwick to rejoin Scotland.

Berwick Rangers were founded in 1884. Wikipedia says they play in Scotland to make travel shorter but I really think there is more to this than just that and that most likely is not the real reason they play in Scotland.Sean wrote:When were they founded?
