Had to pinch this from Dave Roberts twitter account. I’m not sure if he posts on here but his Clarets knowledge is up with the best. I’ll not link it as the answers are already up. No cheating.

Oldham?

Definitely won at Oldham remember Payton scoring the winner 1 year

Scarborough? The theatre of chips wasn't a happy hunting ground.

Wycombe definitely.

Torquay?

Won at Torquay in 87-88 when away fans were banned.

Also won once at Scarborough.

Grimsby?

Don’t remember us ever winning at Reading (Assuming play-offs don’t count)?

Anybody else surprised that we've only played 107 different clubs?

Could one be Accrington Town?

Cant have played them often but did we ever win away at Maidstone

I’m not giving the answers until tonight but I will say that was my first thought and it’s wrong.

Macclesfield, Barnet, Wycombe, Hartlepool, Darlington - all mentioned above and they are all correct

Won there in 90/91

I think I saw us win away at Maidstone. 2-1 rings a bell. In our promotion winning season with Conroy etc or maybe the season before ?
I might be wrong....I’ve seen us lose away a lot more in those lower divisions.

I didn’t think we ever won at Scarborough - I thought we lost 3 or 4 games there and I went to at least 3 of them !

Edit - Just seen your post CT. I didn’t go to that game !

And there's Wigan

Have we ever won at Wigan ?

I think I have been to most the games there and can't recall a win


Question answered before I asked, good service on here

Off the top of my head, can't think of any more so the seventh is probably one from years ago.

Royal Engineers?

Spot on. Very early 1 match, 1 defeat.

On the balance of probabilities, I’d say it was when we were in the Second Division in the spell before 1913. More clubs existed, so more of a chance for one to have been in the league for just one season. Middlesbrough Ironopolis?

I think I know who it is now and if I’m correct it’s a north west club

Darwen?

Blackburn Olympic or Newton Heath something obscure like that ?

Glossop?

Edit: Not Glossop

Not Liverpool, I' ve seen us win there win an Ian Brennan screamer.

The supporters of the club in question ( I don't think it exists now ) probably thought they were too posh to be scousers.

Sort of if you get Gerry Marsden’s transport first

Tranmere ?
Marine ? (Have they ever been in the league ?)

Southport?

New Brighton ?

I think that's it, Aclaret.

They never got into the 2nd Division though. And this is supposed to be a team we haven’t beaten in the league.

I was a bit late

Forget that as well

Got one I think....
New Brighton Tower

Done it again

Dazzler comes through, although CT had sat on it for a spell.
Daves’ answers from twitter and thanks to him again.

Off topic but saw one of my best gigs at New Brighton.

Outside gig in a big top in the middle of summer 2003 with Coral and Libertines supported by the Thrills, The Bee's and The Basement with the up and coming Zutons opening proceedings.

Was a good time for music and that was one hell of a day/night
