Bracknell are twinned with Leverkusen and local side Bracknell Town feature a page on Bayer Leverkusen's recent results in their programme.

Excellent! Of all the towns to be twinned with Leverkusen, I'd never have thought of... 'Bracknell'! (No offence...)

I believe Cov are also twinned with St Ettienne...or at least they were when I was at school

Quite right, Sofa Soccer. I chose Vitesse because I was finding a lot of German and French 'twins' in my research. Always good to have a bit of variety in such things!
