Look at the figure you typed again...approaching 200,000...
Still, nearly 20,000 in Division 3 is bloody good support. Always been there, you see.

Well, that wasn't too difficult! AC in Ligue 1 and Gazelec in Ligue 2.

Probably been asked before...which is the only team in the English leagues in whose name you cannot fill in any of the letters (i.e. there are no 'closed' letters)?

I don't know his name but I'm guessing he was the Sweden manager in 1958.
Oh, and Sir Alf in 1966.

I had to cheat. I confess it didn't ring any bells though, and I thought it would.
Here's one from my neck of the woods(ish). A club of which name played in the Scottish league over the following periods:
1914-1915
1917-1931
1965 (or arguably 1964) - 2002

Clydebank seemed to disappear a while ago. Is it them?
I also cheated on the manager of Sweden in 1958 - I'd never heard of him either.

Good call. Bonus question: by what name is the last of those entities (i.e. the Clydebank FC that played up to 2002) now known?

I won't be getting a bonus point...
I only knew of him, because somebody on the radio mentioned him a few days ago. Its quite a story. He really ought to be far better know here than he is.

Quite a story indeed:
"Nine years after these triumphs Raynor was being made redundant after a seven-month stint managing Doncaster Rovers in the English Fourth Division. But perhaps nothing illustrates the contrast between Raynor's international profile and his English one better than the fact that during his career he managed Lazio and later found work as a manager with Skegness Town."

Incredible. How on Earth did he manage to progress from manager of Aldershot reserves straight to manager of Sweden? Especially after such an inauspicious playing career.
