Lanterne Rouge Posted April 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 1 minute ago, glastored said: When I lived in Yorkshire between ‘63 & ‘76 I watched Park Avenue a few times, and I can attest that it was a big ground (also bordering a county cricket pitch). It might have been the biggest, but in my mind’s eye I had always assumed that Port Vale had the biggest in the league. Happy to be wrong though. I remember watching Somerset play Yorkshire in a JPL game at Bradford back when counties used out grounds. The BPA ground was still there albeit falling down and with the goalposts almost covered by ten foot weeds. It was a very sad sight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North London Red Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 7 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: Notts County are the answer to the question “Which team involved in the establishment of the premier league have never played a game in the division”. Luton are also a valid answer to this question, at least for now. Like Notts County they were relegated from the top flight in the season (1991-92) that preceded the first premier league season, and haven’t been back in the top flight since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pick as well given their history. Where would Juventus be strip wise if it weren't for Notts Co ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luton won League cup in the 80s. Think that clinches it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Danny Wilson was in the Luton team that won the league cup and I think the chesterfield team that won the Anglo Scottish cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 My shout is Notts County. For longevity and sheer history. Even Juventus based their choice of kit on the mighty Notts County. If you’re talking about clubs in terms of infrastructure then arguably, with a ground capacity of 25,500 at the time it would be Darlington. It’s a little reminder for clubs who believe that success only comes from building a big stadium then you might want to be careful what you wish for and think again. (Not mentioning any club we might know who have a life long obsession with getting a bigger stadium….ok, **** it, Bristol Rovers). Here’s a little reminder of what the fruit market might end up being like….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
