Clarity on the situation who be greatful and my answer being correct even sweeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderEagle Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think Northampton did it before City. They were founder members of the Old Money Fourth Division in 1958 59 , and within six seasons had made it all the way up to the First Division (1964 / 65). But they went down in successive seasons from 1965 / 66 to 1968 / 69. **** me, I'm so sad ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say factual rather than sad. :tongue: Des O'Connor?,,,,,,sounds like a quiz question....Yes, he did play for Northampton Town. I expect their supporters would prefer to remember Dave Bowen who was the manager that took them from the 4th to the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATTBCFC Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 No they didn't. Swansea managed to avoid relegation from the old 3rd division in 84/85 but went down the season after. Remember this as a young un - wanted the Swans to avoid relegation to the bottom division so they avoided the same fate as us - my dad reminded me that few clubs had sympathy for us when we were in their position....!!
