Sluffy Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Sorry but I'm cr@p at stats and stuff. So we tried to work out........ What teams have : i) Been in the Premiership since season 1 ii) Been promoted into the Premiership and stayed there? Ta if you can help. The Premier League started in 1992/3 - and consisted of 22 teams - The first seven teams have been in the Premier League all of the time - Arsenal Aston Villa Chelsea Everton Liverpool Manchester United Tottenham Hotspur The next three teams - although founder members have been relegated - and promoted back into the Premier League. Manchester City Blackburn Rovers Middlesbrough The following 12 teams are currently outside the Premier League - Coventry City Crystal Palace Ipswich Town Leeds United Norwich City Nottingham Forest Oldham Athletic Queens Park Rangers Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday Southampton Wimbledon As you know the Premier League now consists of 20 teams - so the remaining 10 teams have been promoted into it and are still currently there - Birmingham Bolton Derby Fulham Newcastle Portsmouth Reading Sunderland West Ham Wigan
snackum Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Sluffy.... I don't know where you found this.. but thanks! I just need to go armed with this to the pub tonight...... Cheers
YATESY Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Sluffy - the Wimbledon answer. Are Milton Keynes the official holder of the Wimbledon history and achievements or is it AFC Wimbledon or has it not been resolved?
Widnes Two Hats Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 When Millwall were in the top flight, was it not the Premiership?
snackum Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 The Premier League started in 1992/3 - and consisted of 22 teams - Birmingham Bolton Derby Fulham Newcastle Portsmouth Reading Sunderland West Ham Wigan Out of that lot, aren't Newcastle the only team to have gone up and stayed up ?
ZiggyStardust Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Out of that lot, aren't Newcastle the only team to have gone up and stayed up ? Fulham Newcastle Portsmouth Reading Wigan None of them have ever been relegated from the Prem.
snackum Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 FulhamNewcastle Portsmouth Reading Wigan None of them have ever been relegated from the Prem. Hopefully at least two of those will drop out this year !!!! Cheers!!
zurichwhite Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 There can't be many left who have been in the Premier at all, and are now not in it. I count Swindon Bradford Charlton
Phoenix Club Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 There can't be many left who have been in the Premier at all, and are now not in it. I count Swindon Bradford Charlton Not forgetting Barnsley....just like watching Brazil!

Sluffy Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Sluffy - the Wimbledon answer. Are Milton Keynes the official holder of the Wimbledon history and achievements or is it AFC Wimbledon or has it not been resolved? It looks like it is AFC Wimbledon that claims to be the official holders of the Wimbledon history. The following link is from the AFC Wimbledon website - dating back to 1894 and shows the history of the club - including the FA Cup win in 1987/88 - http://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/honours.php?...id=7&squad= The MK Dons official website as no history section and information going back only to 2002/3 - http://www.mkdons.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Goa...0210420,00.html So I guess AFC Wimbledon is the continuation of the old Wimbledon club.
globaldiver Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Leeds, QPR? It must be a record........... BW Fulham Blackburn Promoted 200/01; is this the longest tenure for all 3 promoted teams in the prem? I expect so.

That's just rubbish, it's like those FC United clowns claiming to have won the European Cup twice. MK Dons kept the players' registrations and the league membership, they are Wimbledon.
revdishydave Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Leeds, QPR? oldham, norwich, ipswich, palace- kin loads, or have i missed the point?
enzo gambaro Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 There can't be many left who have been in the Premier at all, and are now not in it. There are twenty.
jayjayoghani Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FA_Premier_League_clubs Not a bad rundown

Sluffy Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 That's just rubbish, it's like those FC United clowns claiming to have won the European Cup twice. MK Dons kept the players' registrations and the league membership, they are Wimbledon. After a bit of further checking it would appear that the following is what happened - Wimbledon move to Milton Keynes (and take the clubs history with them). The fans stay in Wimbledon and start AFC Wimbledon. About nine months after the move Wimbledon changes its name to MK Dons. MK Dons then voluntarily agree to give AFC Wimbledon any cups / memorabilia it has - and agree that AFC Wimbledon has full claim to the history of the 'old' Wimbledon. So in summary MK Dons are the true continuation of Wimbledon but they have given up their rights to the history of the club - which have been given to AFC Wimbledon - and as far as they are concerned they have no history from before the time they started in Milton Keynes. Whereas AFC Wimbledon considers itself to be the 'continuation' of the club that had always been based in (or close to) Wimbledon - and so claims it's history goes back to 1894. I hope that makes it a bit clearer!
