59 clubs have experienced administration (1 Viewer)

[covboy1987]

Reading some of the threads you would only think we had problems which of course we certainly have but it might come as a surprise to know that 59 clubs have experienced administration over the years and the fans went through much the same as ourselves some worse some not so bad but they all survived bar 2 or 3

Nice stat Covboy.....

....although I should imagine the vast majority of those 59 are non-league outfits....:thinking about:

No the vast majority are currently or were at the time of administation league clubs.

Like the man in the orthopaedic shoes....I stand corrected.

Did they all get taken over by a billionaire and gain back to back promotions?

Also heard on the radio the other day that absolutely loads of clubs enter transfer embargo's but never tell the fans about it. Apparently it happens all the time.

Also, players failing drugs tests and then getting 'injured in training' and out for 2 months - think that was on that channel 4 documentary a while back.

Dunno what any of that has to do with this thread but you know, still interesting how little we know about our national game these days.

One team that went out of business but is now back in the football league after 40+ years is Accrington Stanley. I'm very happy for them because my late Grandad played for them as well as Burnley.:wave:

It isn't 59 clubs. several are serial administration candidates.

Darlington Bournemouth Portsmouth

Just because its happened before, it doesn't mean we should be unconcerned by it.

Notts County managed to go into admin in June 2002 but left admin in December 1993 - that's a feat!
Quite a few went out of the league and so far have not come back or were reformed, at a quick glance - Newport, Halifax, Chester, Maidstone, Aldershot, Darlington, Boston United, Rushden
