Title: Now time to beat the 91...
Post by: donkey on Friday, November 28, 2014, 18:15:00
...if we win tomorrow we will have beaten all other 91 league clubs.

Has anyone else done this?

Regardless, it's a mighty fine achievement.

We've also lost to the other 90, after Crawley and Rochdale beat us t'other week.  I posted this last Sat.

If we can get through the Fleetwood game, relatively intact on cards etc, then we get a little break, during the next cup weekend.  I think in our situation that has to be a positive...chance to rest a bit ready for the busy festive period.

Aside from Fleetwood, I make it that we've played, beaten and lost to all the other 90 clubs, in some competition or other.

That's giving Accrington Stanley and Newport County, and AFC Wimbledon the records of the clubs they were previously.

The last point about records is interesting.....Aldershot for example on regaining league status, as technically a new club Aldershot Town, wished for a clean break and none of their previous history to count.

Accrington Stanley, were in abeyance for some years, and Peel Park gone, when they were revived, so technically a new club. Accrington having previous here, as Accrington were founder members of the FL, but were disbanded and Stanley a new club came into existence years later.

Another relatively newly formed club are Bristol City 1982 Ltd....as far as I'm concerned their playing history starts with the formation of the new club.

Credit to Reg. The stat popped into my head this afternoon and I checked it out. I did have a quick look on here to see where I got the info from but missed your post. Not one to plagiarise, so I name Reg as my source. I think the ' new ' clubs belong to the same fans as the old ones, so I think we should claim them. Your aye of course right about 1982 ltd.

It is said things come in 3s....we've lost already this season for the first time to Crawley and Rochdale....could the football gods decree a hat-trick?  I don't think Donkey would be to blame...Whaddon Road forces may be at work  :(

Should you care, Bradford City have already beaten the other 91 teams.  Never beaten Kidderminster, should they come back up...trouble is neither have we.

Edit: If we can beat Fleetwood and Woking come up, then we have the record.  Up the Cards.

In which case, the scum have  lost to the other 90, as they've never played Franchise.

The scum, can go into some very uncharted territory....defeats to, in no particular order....Hayes and Yeading; Northwich Victoria; Tonbridge Angels; Sarum; Forest Green: Gravesend and Northfleet; Droylsden; Weymouth and Lewes
