    Nope.

    Coventry is significant.

    The next two teams are Derby and Leeds.

    The last 3 teams are Middlesborough, Leicester and Aston Villa.

    The clues are:

    1) At present the list can only contain the 13 teams given (hopefully this will be added to at some point in the near future)
    2) Coventry is the unique team within the list
    3) Think of the start of a new era

    Something to do with owners, perhaps?

    Floated on the stock market.
    Pompey Bear's Bathyscape, is in a trench of Mariana proportions by comparison.

    I think a new clue is in order. I've been racking my brains to the point of a headache!

    Apologies Devon, thought this thread had died a death so didn't come back with any more clues.

    I have to admit that when I started this off I forgot that this was a joint Saints-Pompey thread so it's safe to say that I imagine those of a Saints persuasion would be more likely to come up with the correct answer, especially with the clue that Coventry are the unique and significant team in the list.

    A few posters have been getting close in that the link certainly has something to do with the fact that all of the teams listed are (or at least were) in the Premier League and as an extra shove in the right direction, the word start given in one of the clues applies to each of the teams listed.....

    I think hot bovril has got it, with Coventry's uniqueness being the only opening fixture Saints actually won, surprisingly enough!

    Of course that's subject to a stewards enquiry from jacksk1....
