is it rotherham or rochdale
Rochdale got into the L2 playoffs in 2009 or 2010 I think...
Rotherham got promoted last season so can't be them either
As mentioned on another thread, all City fans know the well worn stat of us having by far the longest record of all 92 clubs without a top 4 finish in any division since the 1960s. But which club has the second-longest record, after us?
Stato ahoy!
So let me get this straight:
1. We haven't finished top 6 in any division we've been in since the 1969-70 season which was 44 years ago. Who is next after us for this one?
2. The last time we played at Wembley was in 1987, which was 27 years ago. Are there any clubs that haven't played there longer than that?

Teams never played at Wembley: Doncaster Rovers, Hartlepool Utd, Hull City, Lincoln City, Rochdale, Rushden & Diamonds, Walsall, Wrexham & Yeovil Town.
yet all have achieved a play-off or promotion since 87.
We are surely the only team left since 87 who have experienced F$£% all to celebrate?.
I wonder how many teams have only had 2 relegations in half a century?
Still id rather have been a Rochdale fan in the last 40 years.

Soon to be 3 ?
Exactly. I am sure that plenty of clubs in the FL would love to swap histories with us. Hpw many of them never have and never will play in tr PL?
Which is great if you have been a fan for 40 years but for anyone who started supporting in 1988 or later (which is everyone under 26 for a start) there has been no success just a slow decline.
Interesting that you have to use Rochdale as a club who's supporters are worse off than ours. Despite holding the record for most seasons in the lowest division and most seasons without playing in the top two division in recent they have reached the play-offs three times, including a Wembley final and an automatic promotion, on the flip side they also suffered relegation. Compare that to our 2 relegations and a move out of the city.
Before you even consider that most Coventry fans would consider us a 'bigger' club and expect a greater level of success than a club such as Rochdale you could make an argument that their supporters have had more cause to celebrate in the last 25 years than us.
And of course there is still the chance that next season we could both be in the same division.

An interesting fact is 52 out of 92 league clubs have won a trophy in the last 8 years, just goes to show how barren our sucess has been let alone getting a top 6 finish.
