Can you name the All time EPL/Football League Clubs?

Post by tiger76 » Sun May 23, 2021 10:31 pm

In honour of Sutton becoming the latest club to finally taste the FL, how about a monster quiz, I actually thought they'd be more than 140, and there may well be, but don't forget up until the late 1980's as we know to our cost the bottom side in the lowest tier was more often than not simply re-elected to the league for the following season, so that probably explains the lack of newcomers up until recent decades,

Edit I got 96/140, and I missed a few obvious ones, however if anybody gets a full house without googling I'll be :o there's some really obscure ones contained in these answers.

Yes I'm not certain what year it goes up to, but I tried a couple of newish names and it didn't accept them, don't shoot me I'm just the messenger. :) and I did say there might be errors, but most of the usual suspects should be on the list, there's a couple of clubs there that I didn't even know had even played at league level, I always classed them as non-league sides, but they did briefly enjoy full league status, so if you get those you'll be doing well.

That's the ones I struggled with, but I guess that's because I don't follow the lower leagues as much as I used too for obvious reasons.

Time pressure is a killer as well, that 15 minutes passes really quickly when your brain is whirling, well it did for me anyhow.

2010 - shows a club relegated in 2011 as still being in the league.

Blimey! I didn't realise it was that dated, I'll try and dig out an updated version tomorrow if I can.

Harrogate aren't there, nor are Forest Green, but Bury are still "current".

Having said that, I got 135, but missed 4 of the current ones. Three of them in London. Well, who wants to go to London anyway!

It would make it even more challenging if getting the first word didn't (sometimes) get you two answers. Bradford, for example, gets you both club. Manchester does not. How many people would get "Middlesbrough Ironopolis" if just entering "Middlesbrough" hadn't got them both clubs?

115 but ran out of time. Reckon I'd have got a few more with time to go through them again.

Shame I missed Burton, would have given me four answers!

Younger readers might be interested to know it's less than a 100 years since Nelson faced Manchester United in 'The Championship' as the old second division is now called.

There'll be a new name in the Scottish League next season.

Kelty Hearts will replace Brechin City.
