Uncle Albert Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 This, in the time that I can remember, will be my first! ): spent too long in the division below bloody trying to get out of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Too many to remember! Someone will tell me. From the first division days, all the way down and since. Still hurts like hell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 First promotion '76, first relegation '80. Two relegations in succession after that, so by comparison the current struggle is nothing. Al the rest since, however many that is. Becoming quite blase about this one, it's probably overdue, see you at AG in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 It's quite difficult to tell, what with the authorities playing silly buggers with the division names for no apparent reason I make it six, including this one, but excluding the Peter Doherty one, which was just before my time.

stephenkibby. Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Rochdale were relegated last season? yeah got that one wrong,but i think they spent the longest time in the bottom division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider11 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 3rd one for me. Granted i cant remember much about the on in 95, as i was just 6. The only thing i can really remember is a fan ripping out his remaining season ticket stubs and throwing them towards the dug outs at one of the final games of the season.

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 3rd but had very limited experience of the first one, was too young to really internalise the reality of the second one, this one would be the hardest to take. Spent most of my years growing up in the third flight, gonna be hard to accept if we end up where it began for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 so how many have you witnessed ?this could be number 6 for me,alongside 5 promotions. imagine being an arsenal,everton or rochdale fan they havent seen any! Arsenal were relegated in 1913 to div 2 and Everton were relegated in 1951. Pretty amazing fact is that the only team never to be relegated from the top flight is Wigan!

Spent most of my years growing up in the third flight, gonna be hard to accept if we end up where it began for me. At the end of next season we could end up back where it all started for me - back in the second tier, hopefully as Div. 1 Champions. We deserve, and probably need, this relegation, the Championship stopped being enjoyable for BCFC supporters a long time ago. If SO'D IS the right man we won't be down too long, and there's nothing like a promotion season to get the enthusiasm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 All reasonable points there, Nogbad, only it took 10 years and numerous heart-breaks to get back up. Three different phases as well.
