[Kent Seagull]

I bet the moaners were out in force in those days! Mind you, relegation from the 4th division was pretty much impossible then thanks to re-election and the old pals act.

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

i fdind it amazing that all the teams in the top division way back then are still very big clubs/ well off.

 

[Seagull Stew]

And I bet even in those days, fans of second division Manchester City were still banging on about how they were sleeping giants!

 

[NMH]

As true to form as the top division is, the lowest club to be up there now appears to be Watford....... and that won't be for long either.
