Milton Keynes was always the largest place in england with no league football club - so possibly there?
IIRC it got made a city quite recently as well

Harry Salford have a team- the erroneously named Manchester United.
Marcoss gets it with Plymouth which with about 250000 population is bigger than I would have imagined.

No idea but this has the making of a good fact. Is it anything to do with the weight at which a cellulose structure can no longer support itself?

I suspect it's something to do with funnelling water to the top of the tree, perhaps something based on the height a vacuum can lift water.

And by a nose that's close enough. The water pressure gets so low at this height (capilliary action) it becomes impossible to travel any further thus denying photosynthesis capability.
And to you blackmogu sir...
