4froale Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Bournemouth, Southampton, City, Leicester are four that spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You are wrong about Norwich, I remember being at Carrow Road to see us well beaten, they went from L1 to"Premier" League in successive seasons, like Southampton. I don't remember Stoke being in League 1 so I think that's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) We've definitely played Norwich in the last decade. And Stoke c2001 kicking off the riots. Edited December 18, 2016 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Apologies Monty and Fruitygoo, quite right, we played Stoke in April 2001. I stand corrected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Watford was my only doubt and had to check but it seems they were promoted our firat season down here... So grim to see so many teams push on although argubly most are 'bigger' clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_lead Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 More fitting of the aspirations of our current owner is that there are nine teams we've played in this league who have fallen outside the FL : York Lincoln Stockport Tranmere Rushden and Diamonds Dagenham Hereford Wrexham Torquay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Tragic thing is that none of those clubs which have fallen outside of the football league have anything like the history of oafc. Most were punching above their weight by being in league 1. The fact that we are no bigger in stature than those clubs now just shows how far we have fallen under the current ownership, though admittedly the damage was done by Stott and co who failed to plan for the future when the times were good.

yarddog73 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 To be honest the idea of a season in League 2 and the aways that go with it are rather quite appealing, if we are bottom of League 2 by Christmas next year I may feel differently though.

I have seen us at the bottom of the old division 4. My memory might be fading but I don't recollect a team as poor as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
