Fans ‘pack their bags’ after discovering amazing city where streets are named after football teams – is yours included?

FOOTBALL fans have unearthed an incredible place where the streets are named after English football teams.

This amazing area can be found in the city of McKinney, located in Collin County, TX, USA – roughly 32 miles north of Texas capital Dallas.

After the astonishing find, fans have been declaring their intention to cross the pond and live on a road named after their team.

Exactly why the streets have been named after the English clubs is unclear – but more importantly – has your side been included?

Kicking things off in the Premier League, Fulham are one team to get a mention with the street name Fulham Lane.

Newly-promoted Sheffield United and local rivals Sheffield Wednesday get a feature with their own Sheffield Drive, while Burnley Drive can also be found right off Fulham.

Another set of local rivals, Bristol City and Rovers also have a place in the City with Bristol Drive.

Championship sides Southampton, Millwall and Preston are named too, with Southampton Drive, Millwall Drive and Preston Lane respectively.

Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough are there too, though a misspelling of the road – Middlesborough Drive – being spelt like the location rather than the club left a couple of fans fuming.

One fan wrote: “And OBVIOUSLY they spelled Middlesbrough incorrectly.”

While a second typed: “Aaaand they f***ed up and spelt Middlesbrough wrong 😬.”

Relegated Championship sides Reading and Blackpool are in the City too with Reading Drive and Blackpool Parkway.

From League One, Barnsley, Portsmouth, Port Vale, Leyton Orient and Shrewsbury can also be found.

There is even a property currently for sale on Port Vale Drive, with houses in the area selling for around £400,000.

League Two sides also have some resident street names, namely Crawley and Gillingham.

In Non-League there is even a mention of Dagenham and Redbridge with Redbridge Lane.

One fan added on Twitter: “All I want in life is to live on Port Vale Drive.”

While another wrote: “Packing my bags.”

In 2017 McKinney was named the third fastest-growing city in the States, and as of 2020 has a population of 195,308.

That number may swell even more with a flood of football fans now plotting a move over.
