Football, voters and theories

-

Sir, – I saw an interestin­g fact the other day: 60% of towns/cities with teams in the English Premier Football League voted to remain, whilst 72% of towns/cities with teams in the three lower English Leagues voted for Brexit.

Not wishing to read too much into this, but it does suggest to me that winners voted to remain: in life as in football, perhaps.

And, to extrapolat­e further, the fact that all

areas of Scotland voted to remain, is maybe an indication that Scottish football could be heading for a resurgence.

I know this is a fairly tenuous theorem, but, in terms of the Scotland internatio­nal team, all straws should be clutched.
