How about renaming this thread `Who do you want in Football League Division One when the Premier League goes bust` ?

Struggling FC would beat us easily.

Derbyshire.

I was really shocked to see that Glossop had played in the top flight.

Fixed.

I've made up two lists. The first is one made up of teams that have all appeared in the top flight. On the plus side we might actually stand a chance of making the Champions League. On the negative side the way things are currently going we might actually be playing a few of these teams in the not so distant future.

List 1

Aston Villa FC (104)
Bury (22)
Glossop  (1)
Darwen (2)
Northampton Town  (1)
Carlisle  (1)
Barnsley (1)
Leyton Orient  (1)
Swindon  (1)
Oxford United (3)
Luton Town (16)
Brentford (5)
Watford (8 )
Bristol City (9)
Grimsby Town (12)
Oldham Athletic (12)
Bradford City (12)
Luton Town (16)
Blackpool (28)
Notts County

I ignored certain teams that have appeared in the top flight for example Millwall (2) well... because they're Millwall! And anyway Darwen have appeared in the top flight twice too and D is before M ;-)

List 2
(the more traditional option - where we currently have no chance of winning the league or Champions League qualification)

Aston Villa FC
Everton
Arsenal
Wolves
West Brom
Spurs
West Ham
Liverpool
Man United
Man City
Newcastle
Sunderland
Sheffield United
Sheffield Wednesday
Leeds
Nottingham Forest
Portsmouth
Stoke
Derby
Preston NE (or Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Notts County)

Did you know????

Arsenal were "elected"  to the Top Flight in season 1919-20 and remain the only club since the formation of the Football League in   1888-89 who never earnt their place on merit!!

I think they were given the rightful place of Spurs as well. No wonder they hate them.

Villa; blose; Albion; wolves; forest; west ham; Fulham; arsenal; spurs; Chelsea; saints; l'pool; Everton; Man U; city; Leicester; cov; derby; Preston; sorry, I'll swap stoke for Sunderland, if I may. Reckon maybe even 'boro might get a guernsey over derby.

Well my local team Brighton have been on the fridges the last two years, but have also for the second straight seasons lost their manager.  Also they were punching above their weight.  With the right managerial appointment and a few good signings they could make the Play-Offs again, don't think are top two material.

Would be good to see Wigan, Derby and Reading come up.  Maybe Middlesborough for old times sake.
