It is in the I.O.M.

No pressure on Derek then...

Perhaps a statto with more time on their hands could research it? It could be an interesting programme piece?

If you consider the CURRENT 92 (sorry Bury, 91) English league clubs from the Premiership to League 2, there is definitely only 1 club that have NEVER been relegated (from any league they have ever played in) in their history and they will be 100 years old in 2020.
Re-inventing yourselves with another name (Arsenal) excludes you from this list in my opinion, so we are talking about the history since the original formation of the existing clubs.
So let's hope that the club celebrate their 100 year old non-relegated history by shouting it from the rooftops and let's all be BLOODY PROUD of this.
Happy New Year to all at MFC and to all on here.
