BaaLocks Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Of the 'nevers', I'm surprised about Exeter. Of the long timers Mansfield is a surprise, given we've spent so much time outside the top flight I'd have thought they'd have had a run up to the old second division at some point. I just checked on Mansfield and they've never been out of the bottom two divisions - and if you think we've had fun with owners in 2008 they genuinely suggested changing the name of the club to Harchester United. Mad, mad, mad... Can we now have a list of teams in the EPL and Championship and when is the date we will likely next play them again - wrist slashers can enjoy putting 'Never' against Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, blind faithers can correct it to 2024. ? ?

Rampant Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Of the five on the 'never' list, are there any we have never played a cup game against either?* * I can remember playing FGR in the FA Cup and Exeter (and possibly Cheltenham in the League Cup). That 1986 meeting listed against Lincoln was 7-0 iirc Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't check, I would have sworn Mansfield were in the Championship in the early 2000's, but must have been mixing them up with some other small club like Walsall. Mansfield have actually been in the 2nd division once (77/78). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 2 hours ago, admira said: Interesting table - thanks for putting together. May not be a widespread view but the novelty factor of playing this lot is actually making me look forward to the new season. New grounds to visit & new clubs to acquaint ourselves us with. Whilst no-one wants to be playing 3rd tier football for longer than necessary, I was getting bored of playing dismal clubs like Reading, Birmingham & QPR every year. Plenty of big games too - Sheff Wednesday, Bolton, Ipswich, Portsmouth & Charlton all stand out. My only issue is it's a fairly southern based league - although lots of grounds within easy reach from Derby. Away days should be noisy ? angieram, admira and GB SPORTS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB SPORTS Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Really split about who's coming up between Mansfield and Port Vale. Of my two best mates one supports Stags, the other supports the Valiants!! both have been Sth's for 40 years plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - I was going to make some quip about maybe when you were thinking small clubs in the Championship you confused them with Forest but then I realised they were only dreaming of being in the Championship for a large part of the 2000s.
