I was expecting hieroglyphics there sir.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
I don't know the answer to this but I reckon Eric's doing nothing so can sort the answer out.
Which 5 teams have we played most often in League, FA Cup and League Cup as a total (not including Welsh Cup)
I am going to go for
Preston
Burnley
Leyton Orient
Bristol City
Birmingham City.
What's the answer Eric?
I remember seeing that on our black & white TV. Not sure if it was live or just highlights?

Technically Newport County are not the same club as the current one. So we will never play them again .
The did bring a good following to NP when we stuffed them 4-0 just before they went out of the League. They are probably still bitter towards us, not for that result but just generally.
1. Preston - 94
2. Bristol City - 92
3. Burnley - 85
4. Leyton Orient/Orient - 83
5. Bolton - 78
6. Huddersfield/QPR - 77
8. Charlton - 76
9. Sheff Utd - 74
10. Birmingham - 73

Eric
All 3 are correct 👍
Cheers Eric. I think I've worked out the answer. Not sure where Workingham is though!
It should be Wokingham. That's an error from here. https://www.11v11.com/teams/cardiff-...on/Workingham/
I had a look on 11 v 11 just to check if Wycombe was in the top 6. Looks a useful website. I would have had us last playing Kidderminster Harriers in the league the 90s. Memory plays tricks after a certain age.
I can as well - I seem to remember it was a highlights programme on the Sunday afternoon - shame the You Tube recording missed both goals.
Was the clip courtesy of TJ Sports? They specialised in editing videos rather badly. Their reply on one of their videos said they would play a video into a computer. Instead of recording the whole thing, they wanted to create shorter clips but sometimes would be late pressing record button....I can as well - I seem to remember it was a highlights programme on the Sunday afternoon - shame the You Tube recording missed both goals
I don't think it was Eric, but your description appears to exactly match what happened with both goals, so maybe they were involved.
It's TJS Sports, just a YouTube channel. I hadn't spotted the link you shared previously, wasn't anything to do with them!!
Here's another question for you Eric.....which teams have we played in all four divisions? ie the old Div 1-4 and Prem -League 2.
Wolves, the Jacks and Burnley, I think. Maybe Bury, Luton?, Bolton. Oldham. Over to you.
Edited post
I think this is right. There are a couple of old sides that played in the top flight but had gone before the introduction of a fourth division.
Accrington Stanley
Barnsley
Blackpool
Bolton Wanderers
Bournemouth
Bradford City
Brentford
Brighton & Hove Albion
Bristol City
Burnley
Bury
Cardiff City
Carlisle United
Coventry City
Crystal Palace
Grimsby Town
Huddersfield Town
Hull City
Leyton Orient
Luton Town
Millwall
Northampton Town
Notts County
Oldham Athletic
Oxford United
Portsmouth
Preston North End
Reading
Sheffield United
Swansea City
Swindon Town
Watford
Wigan Athletic
Wimbledon
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Cheers Eric.
No probs. I was surprised at a few of the sides that had got to the top division, as well as one or two which I never expected to have competed in the dungeon.
Of all the league clubs, Brentford have spent the longest outside the top division since they were relegated from Division 1. Of Championship sides, Preston have spend 59 seasons outside the top flight and Bristol City have spent 40 years. We spent 51 seasons before promotion back to the top table. 53 sides have seen top flight action more recently than Bristol City. 54 sides had seen top flight action more recently than us until our promotion in 2013.
