Friday 4th August 2017:

Which six Football League Clubs have only ever played in the Fourth Flight?

 

That shouldn't be too difficult as it can only be teams currently in League 2. Can't be my team Wycombe because they got promoted to League 1 in their first season in the football league (beating Preston 4-2 in the play off final. I'll have to start by elimination.

For starters, can't be Accrington, Cambridge Utd, Carlisle, Cheltenham, Chesterfield, Colchester, Swindon, P Vale, Lincoln, Forest Green, Coventry, Crawley, Barnet, Grimsby, Morecambe, Newport, Yeovil, Notts C, nor Luton. Because I can remember all of those being in either higher or lower leagues. So who does that leave?
Crewe, Exeter, Mansfield, Stevenage.

That's only 4 and I'm not sure about those.

I've snookered myself. I reckon the 4th tier must include the Conference.

I thought this was going to be easy. Barking up the wrong tree here with the wrong assumption. Will try again later

 

Actually, I'm lost. If they have only ever played in the fourth tier they must have played in League 2 last season; unless they don't exist any more. Give up

 

I think he must mean that they haven't played any higher than the fourth flight. If that is the case then the only clubs that would come under that bracket that I can think of would be...

Morecambe
Boston Utd
Maidstone
Scarborough
Kidderminster and maybe...
Forest Green?

 

Just come across this site . According to this the 6 teams are
Scarborough
Morecambe
Boston United
Kidderminster Harriers
Maidstone United
Forest Green Rovers

Morecambe can't be correct because they were promoted to League 2 about 10 years ago
Maidstone can't be right because I remember them playing in the Ishmian league
Kidderminster can't be right as they have been in loads of leagues and I remember us playing them in league 2
Forest Green Rovers can't be right as they have only just been promoted to the 4th tier
Boston can't be right as they were relegated from League 2
Scarborough dropped out of the football league at the turn of the century and then got relegated to the Northern league

Unless I'm missing something, this site has got its knickers in a twist

 

Yes I think you are right monacoger

 

Yes, Scarborough, Morecambe, Boston United, Kidderminster Harriers, Maidstone United and Forest Green Rovers.
