Upton Park is the area not the football ground. You could watch West Ham play at Upton Park the same as you could watch the hertz play at Gorgie.

It certainly is, as a Hammer sympathiser I've heard it called both by everyone. Was always The Boleyn to me.

Nobody in Nottingham ever calls them 'Notts Forest'.

Nottingham Forest
Notts County

If people refer to 'Notts' they mean County.

Actually yes they do and so do plenty of other folk.

Peterborough are "Posh" to anyone in and around the local area, though not so much nationally. Posh is a pretty unusual nickname so will more often than not be used within news articles or match reports after an initial mention, but it rarely replaces Peterborough entirely.

If Man Yoo is allowed I'd say that and Spurs are the only ones used as often as Hibs and Hearts. Lots of folks down south often ask me about "the Hi-bees" too which I find pretty cool.

I used to love winding up a Celtic fan I worked with for years by asking her if she was at Parkhead at the weekend. The more she insisted on calling it Celtic Park the more I'd call it Parkhead until she would storm off in a huff.

You and me would get on just great I suspect

When people reference The Sheep, and many do, we all know who they are referring to.

Airdrie? Barca.

In the spirit of the original post, I think Airdrie is the only one that comes close to Hibs, Hearts, Spurs and Wolves.
