Life is a roller coaster

Has there ever been a club that has been on such a roller coaster ride than Brighton and Hove Albion ?

I've supported them 35 years, in that time we've changed divisions 12 times (an average of once every three seasons!), played in all four tiers, reached the FA Cup final, lost and won play-off finals, found ourselves 6th in the top flight (December 1981), come within 20 minutes of being relegated out of the league completely (and possible extinction), and have played home matches at four different grounds.

Can't think of another comparison apart from Wimbledon (non-league to first division and FA Cup final, back to non-league and now league again) - although you would have to consider AFC Wimbledon as a continuation of the original club, which is debatable.
