Can’t believe Ipswich aren’t there

We didn't make the second tier until the 50s, so have had a lot less games than the other teams.

On the full table we're a place below Norwich with 100 games less played.

Yep, I was going to query that, if it were only the Championship era. Ipswich got relegated from the Premier League in about 1995, and were in the Championship until they got relegated 18 months ago. I can't think of any other team that has been in purgatory for anywhere near as long. Maybe Preston?

We were relegated in 2019 so a bit more than 18 months ago. And we were last relegated from the PL in 2001. Our relegation to League One was the first time we'd been out the top two leagues in England since 1957.

But before that we were the longest serving Championship club. I think it might be Bristol City now?
