• Delete It is a meaningless disambiguation. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 05:22, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I would keep it for the same reason it was originally created as a disambiguation page: to direct anyone looking for a combined list of English and Scottish soccer clubs to the two separate lists. Why not? Better than having someone create another combined list. Jack N. Stock (talk) 05:31, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ProTip: in UK, only boys at some (but not all) fee-paying schools play soccer. The game is football, Narky Blert (talk) 06:28, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We're not all in the UK, and it's a natural disambiguator that is quicker to type than "association football." Jack N. Stock (talk) 06:51, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed my opinion to Delete upon consideration of the convincing arguments provided by other editors. Jack N. Stock (talk) 17:46, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as utterly meaningless. Two different countries. It makes no more sense than would American/Canadian football clubs. Especially when you consider that "clubs" includes e.g. the CIU. Narky Blert (talk) 06:34, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as improper disambiguation page, along with the articles I'm about to create, Australia/New Zealand cricket clubs, Argentinian/Uruguayan rugby clubs and Canadian/American bacon. SportingFlyer (talk) 07:15, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Seems a bit pointless to me, out of curiosity whats the view count on the page? Govvy (talk) 08:56, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

65 views in the last year -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:48, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - serves no purpose. GiantSnowman 16:45, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I can't see any purpose served by this dab (which isn't really a dab) page, or any circumstance under which users would search for it. If by some chance it is kept, it needs a new title, as "clubs" could refer to hundreds of different concepts...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:12, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I agree with the reasons outlined by several users above, but would also strongly support the point made in the last comment that'clubs' does not have to mean football clubs - it could mean any other sporting club, a social club, a fan club or even nightclubs. If a disambiguation page was needed (and I do not think it is) it would surely be list of British Association Football Clubs which would also then lead to Welsh Clubs as well. A Scotland/England split actually makes little sense as there is not name for a combined entity that is just Scotland and England and so this approach arguably treats Wales as part of England or ignores it. Dunarc (talk) 21:35, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - why combine these two nations? Completely confusing. Fenix down (talk) 12:47, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
