ENGLAND & WALES 1. Cumbrian Derbies Cumbria is one of England's largest ceremonial counties, but also one of the most sparsely populated. The two major footballing towns are Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness, which are over 60 miles apart. Even still, Barrow was only annexed relatively recently, having previously been in the historical county of Lancashire. Located half-way between Carlisle and Barrow is Workington, who hosted League football from 1951 and 1977. It has been widely assumed that Workington failed re-election due to their remote location.
