And as yet, still gone

So, teams, unlike Lincoln, who have been relegated and not returned

I think its going to be miles more than Id expect

Include any that went bust while in, Bury, and out, like Scarborough

Spoilsport.

That's New Brighton Tower out then.

(biggest ground in England at the time)

Im excluding Newport

Though I suspect youre correct!

Fair do's, hadn't realised they had come back up. (Although I should have done, as we played them in League 2 a few years back).

 

Third Lanark in Scotland went out of business in the 60s but still appeared on pub football cards until the 90s so my mate in Embra would always put his quid on them. Never won.

Barnet

Torquay have been up and down a few times - I think they went bust recently didn't they?

They're currently fighting against relegation from the National League South

Aye, didn't they beat Brentford in the playoffs about 10 years ago to get to Championship? Compare them now - one has a new ground and reasonable Prem security, looked at as a great model - other is a basket case as you say.

Apart from Oldham who were usually a decent 2nd tier club and had a couple of years in the sunshine at the top level , do we miss any of the others mentioned?

There are always going to be flash in the pan teams like Bournemouth & Brentford are now, and what Swansea were like 10-12 years ago, Oxford in mid 80s but its all still the usual suspects year in year out.

In the next 10 years a biggish club is really gonna hit skid row, who will it be?

I reckon Sunderland.

I'd say so...

 

When we first hit the 4th division, and came up in that game against Wrexham, weren't Wolves and Sheff Utd also promoted with us? - bonkers to imagine Bolton, Wolves and Sheff Utd all in the bottom tier.....I think Burnley might even have been down there as well at the time

Sheff Weds I reckon is a good bet, as their new Chairman/Owner is a bit of a cock. Also as mentioned above, I fancy Sunderland to hit the skids financially at some point

Wolves, Bolton and Burnley were Scarborough's first three home games in the football league.

Not sure their bobbies knew what was coming, nor recovered fully!

Southport used to play Friday nights and me and Loft used to go sometimes. Their beef tea was Cerebos gravy.Cartoonist Bill Tidy came out on night at the same time as us and he nearly bowled Loft over.

Them and us appeared in the same football league record in the 70s. But who else did ?

Burnley & Liverpool?

This has been mentioned recently but i couldn't remember the reason, So, why did Biry used to ko at 3:15 for home games???

Wasn't it because pubs closed at 3?

Hereford and Bradford PA deserve a mention.

Bury were allowed 3.15KOs for their social club that closed at 3pm. Torquay used to KO on Saturday nights at the start and end of the season.

Special mention for Tranmere. 

Although they came back, they did drop.
