How many clubs have done it?

Funny that either opponent in the FLT final have both done it and some, both having dropped out of the league, although Luton did make their way back up to the second tier less than 10 years ago.

Burnley
Wolves
Bradford City
Notts County

Can anybody think of any other clubs?

Man city?

rupert_bear · Feb 23, 2017

Both Sheffield clubs ?

standupforcity · Feb 23, 2017

Northampton!

hotrod · Feb 23, 2017

I think the City are the only team to have played in the following leagues, an old quiz question.
Premier
Old First Division
Championship
First Division
Second Division
Third Division
Third Division North
Third Division South
Fourth Division
And will probably never be beaten or equalled.
Regards.

Oxford Utd

westcountry_skyblue · Feb 23, 2017

Bristol City did it late 70's early 80's

rupert_bear · Feb 23, 2017

Remember Northampton in the 60s they might have gone fourth to first and back again perhaps not one year after the next but pretty quickly.

Portsmouth yes, forgot about them.

Oldham have only fallen as far as us, but looking likely to join the first to fourth club alongside us.

Stockport have never been in the top flight as far as i am aware

Swindon?

Oxford Utd have done it though I'm sure.

Southampton ?

lifeskyblue · Feb 23, 2017

Preston North End I believe went from the old first division to the fourth...not sure how many years it took.

PUSB

Brylowes · Feb 23, 2017

Ha, forgot the most recent Blackpool.

colin101 · Feb 23, 2017

Remember Carlisle top of old First Division after couple of matches only to be relegated in the early Seventies and didn't Goalkeeper score a few years ago to keep them in Football league

Only league one.

JulianDarbyFTW · Feb 23, 2017

Wolves. Steve Bull almost single-handedly took them back up to the second tier.

hutch1972 · Feb 23, 2017

Always sticks in my mind that Wolves were 4th division when we were winning the cup.

Yeah they're mentioned indirectly in my first post! Either of our opponents. They've done first to fifth.

And won a few England caps along the way, can't imagine that ever happening again.

Swindon definitely

Fulham & Brighton?

ccfctommy · Feb 23, 2017

Apparently if we are relegated, we will be the first founder memebr of the Premier League to get relegaed to the 4th tier.

This also applies to Oldham Athletic and Swindon Town.

So we really are in a race to the bottom, and winning. :emoji_disappointed:
