Posted May 6, 201411 yr As the tables stand (with one game left in Premier), which 7 teams of the 92 are currently in their highest league position since 1965? Also, which 6 teams are currently in their lowest league position since 1965?
May 6, 201411 yr Southampton, Bournemouth, Yeovil, Fleetwood for the first one. Maybe Port Vale, Burton or York as well?
May 6, 201411 yr Highest: Yeovil York Bournemouth Fleetwood Dag & Red Newport Brentford Lowest: Portsmouth Coventry Villa Bristol City Northampton Will be happy with 5 out of 12.
May 6, 201411 yr My Southampton shout was stupid, think heard them on Sky the other day say it's their highest Premier League finish. Forgot there was football before the Prem. Pretty sure the other three are right, and JW's Brentford call is right I think. Newport probably is as well. Where did the Daggers finish this season? Think they finished one spot out the play offs the other season but could be wrong.
May 6, 201411 yr Bristol Rovers on the lowest is a definite as well, maybe Wycombe, but like JW's list there.
May 7, 201411 yr Author The answers: High Bournemouth (30) Cardiff (20) Crawley (58) Fleetwood (72) Liverpool (1) Hull (15) Yeovil (44) Low Bristol Rovers (91) Coventry (62) Fleetwood (72) Portsmouth (81) Torquay (92) Wycombe (90) Fleetwood have finished 72nd in all three of their seasons. You could argue Newport are at their highest too although I didn't include them due to Newport County being in the league until the 80's. I'm not sure if the club folded and reformed. Brentford and York have both played second flight football. York most memorably in the mid 70's when they faced a certain Manchester United. Villa played in the third flight in the late 60's or early 70's.
