Next season it will have been 25 years since we were last in the bottom division. From the teams we played that season, name:
1) The two sides we have since played in the Premier League
2) The four sides we have since played in the Championship (or equivalent)
3) The three sides we have since played in League 1 (or equivalent)
1. Fulham & Wolves?
NeitherQuote:

This is doing my head in, I’ll say Exeter, but it’s not them - it must be someone we played in 02/03.
Mansfield :ayatollah:
What was controversial about the away game with Mansfield that season?
Was it the pitch invasion by City fans?Quote:

September 2006. City were top of the league. Goals from Purse, Scimeca and Ledley. James Collins was in the row behind us.Quote:
