Off the top of my head probably the majority of time would have been tier 2 followed by a respectably decent period at the best table in the land and a few lost years in the 3rd that have always resulted in promotion relatively quickly. Never scrubbed about in the bottom.
Valley Review first home game anyseason i.e.The Handbook section.If you count 39/40 season playing 3 games the top tier total is 26 seasons,butwe also played South Regional League that season in full starting 21-10-39 to 08-06-40. Mr Cameron can you help us please.
Imagine what our side could have achieved had Adolf not intervened. I would say we could have been Champions during the early 1940's given what we had achieved prior to that I would say that was more likely than relegation.

a top tier club ? 27
a 2nd tier club ? 41
a 3rd tier club ? 15
a 4th tier club ? 0
I make it 83 seasons since 1921
Sounds closer than mine. Where did you get those stats from Lewis?
Mr Cameron can you help us please.
3 seasons pre war
11 post war
All under seed
4 under lennie
1 + 7 under curbs
= 26 top flight
27 if you count 39/40
I think millwall had half a season in the top flight once
They still bloody beat us. And then Palace beat us at "home".
1989-90 the one and only season all 3 SE London clubs were in the top flight.
Millwall had 1988-89, and 1989-90 as their only 2 seasons ever in the top flight.
That even makes Palace seem like world beaters.

Wimbledon (pre franchise) were there as well.
