March 2, 201511 yr Their record crowds are against Bolton. Correct, help yourself to anything from the middle shelf
March 2, 201511 yr What have Bolton, Chelsea, Sheffield United, Rotherham and Sunderland done that nobody else can now do? Well since no-one seems to care; they have all been relegated via the playoffs.
March 2, 201511 yr Well since no-one seems to care; they have all been relegated via the playoffs. A similar system called Test Matches apllied between 1892 and 1897. Bottom of First played top of Second, next bottom played second and third bottom played third. So Accrington, Notts County, Darwen, Newton Heath, Liverpool, Small Heath and Burnley were relegated by these means. Newton Heath were one of the clubs elected directly to Division I when it was increased from 14 to 16 teams, They finished bottom but survived their Test Match against Small Heath ("battle of the heathens"?). They finished bottom again the next season, equalling the record of Stoke, who finished bottom in the first two seasons of the league before being replaced by Sunderland.
