The Rise & Decline / Look at the lower leagues, Brighton re

The Rise & Decline Look at the lower leagues, Brighton reached the top flight for the very first time, Graham Taylor’s Watford and John Toshack’s Swansea were charging up from Division 3, and Wimbledon earned promotion in only their second-ever season as a Football League club.

The Wurzels in Division 1 as well. I think they got relegated the following season.
In those days we hardly ever saw highlights of Cardiff games but HTV used to show Wurzels on a Sunday with Roger Malone presenting.

Your right, great memory

Bournemouth div 4

Bournemouth div 4

Could not remember Bristol in the top division

I think that was the year Richie Morgan took over as manager, and we went in a great end of season run for our highest finish in years!

I like Richie. He was club captain and a solid player for us before taking over the managerial reins from Jimmy Andrews

By my calculations, 11 of those teams are currently outside the football league, and in total 32 teams have spent some time out of the League, if only for one season!

We mainly had "The Big Match" for ITV highlights on a Sunday afternoon, which was essentialy London centred. Old episodes of The Big Match are broadcast on ITV4 on Saturday mornings - great reminiscence therapy for old gits like me. We should make todays younger generation watch to see what life was like before the Premier League and before SKY TV!

Mud baths i remember playing in the 70s snow and an orange ball ,the only time a game was off was if it was frozen solid but going back earlier in the 60s in school you played on a frozen pitch ,but it did stop the big twats doing sliding tackles on you .

Last Sunday the big match revisited featured QPR V Cardiff as its main game. We were thumped 3-0. Bit of an ageing side many of whom had been part of a side that had narrowly missed promotion two seasons before. Don Murray, Ian Gibson, Dave Carver, Brian Clarke , Bobby Woodruff amongst them. Mind you they had Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis, Terry Venables and Phil Parkes
