7 Biggest Clubs Who Have Never Played in the Premier League

[robintherobin]

So I was on YouTube and it recommended a video "7 Biggest Clubs Who Have Never Played in the Premier League"

Obviously it's the guy's personal opinion, but I think it makes a good discussion point.

Here's the link:

Makes some decent points and talks some sense. 

Still think we are a way away from getting into the premier league but we have progressed excellently the last few years, it’s all about taking that step forward now from mid table to pushing for promotion, and currently I’m struggling to see when that will happen

No mention of Bristol rovers with their huge away following?

Not even in the honourable mentions section. Clearly casts doubt over the veracity of the whole video.

It`s obviously been compiled by a gurt dirty ted.

Loving that Yeovil was mentioned but not the Blue Few.

#justiceforthegas - we could do our neighbours a solid and get this trending.

Or just carry on laughing at them.

Decisions, decisions.

Fleetwood as an honourable mention is an absolute joke though.

[Arsene's Wanger]

Seems the Joey Barton link is enough to qualify them.

Exactly. When was the last time you heard "I can't for the life of me understand how Fleetwood aren't playing Premier League footy" ?

To be fair, 49 out of 92 haven’t been in the Prem, 7 were in the video, didn’t leave too many left for honourable mentions!

I think that’s because they are new to the football league 

[slartibartfast]

Doing very well till the "honorable mentions "...............must have used LJ's bingo machine !

I'm surprised anyone on here is even entertaining this.....Football didn't start with the premier league.....Bristol City have been in the top division loads of times as far as I'm concerned whatever it's called , in fact weren't you top of the league in the 70's for a time with the likes of Gerry Gow in the r

4 years in the top flight in the late 70's. Before that was pre war.

Fair point but still massive underachievers, but its the hope that kills us...

Is that all it was.....just shows you how your early memories stay with you and perhaps get magnified......I wasn't around pre war though!

Bury, even Lincoln more deserving.

Don't think either of them are mentioned (actually watched the video last night and nearly made a thread myself, but can't remember the honorouble mentions other than Yeovil and Fleetwood, wasn't Burton one too?)

Wasn't specified as league sides either was it?

Certainly a few non-league ones that could be argued as bigger.

As a schoolkid in the 70's it feels like longer than 4 years for me too.

We are also one if 14 (I believe) clubs that have got to an FA cup final but never won it.........thst was also pre ww1

One of 14 is a bit stretching it. I'm one of 14 odd million who hasn't won the Lotto jackpot for that matter :laugh:

Knew I'd seen it somewhere recently

Almost as if no football even existed before they changed the name of league division one.

[Wanderingred]

Was going to post this the other day but it slipped my mind.

We absolutely have to make the saggies aware of this video. They are going to be more than a little precious about it!

Football only started in 1992.

Thought 49 out of 92 HAD been in the Prem so the next one will be the 50th?

Challenging for Auto promotion is a huge step to take. However challenging for the play offs isn't that huge of a step. We were there or thereabouts last season. 

I just don't understand how your struggling to see how that can happen after we have gone 9 games unbeaten.

The problem is we seem to go on these runs of form but then we fade away, to challenge for the play offs we need to be consistent in our form, and to be honest I can't see that happening this season at least

[Nathandao]

Personally think Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG are bigger than us
