Derby County look more modern Burnley than Burnley do

Interesting that 7 of those clubs have not changed the fundamentals of their strips since that time

Over 130 years - not exactly a sudden decline!

Accrington folded and at least four others have been in the 4th division and most of the others in the 3rd tier.

Strangely enough, Notts County were relegated from the First Division at the end of the 1991/92 season and missed being an inaugural member of the Premier League in 1992/93. They had had back to back promotions going from the Third Division in 1989/90 to the First Division in 1991/92.
Within 5 seasons they had dropped to the 4th tier and they then spent time in both the 3rd and 4th tiers before dropping out of the league at the end of the 2018/19 season.

They had been a league club for 120 seasons.

The Blackburn player looks camp, the Derby player looks like he has wet himself or is having a tug and the Bolton strip is ten years more advanced then ours.

At one time County were the top team in Nottingham. I read somewhere that it was the clearance of poor housing around their ground that led to their initial fall from that status, as their core support was scattered and relocated.

Ten teams of cloggers, with Burnley and Bolton having to wear those new fangled " shin pads " to protect themselves against the rascals !

They were probably managed by Jimmy Sirrel even then.

My Dad, now 85, is a County fan. The ground was indeed initially surrounded by" slum " housing, to house workers for the Lace, Tannery and Hosiery factories nearby. Next to the ground was Nottingham's Cattle & Sheep Market, as well as a large abattoir. Between the factories, the animals and the primative sewage system, the area reeked ! In the late 1920's, Nottingham City Council began a large housebuilding scheme, building the Broxtowe, Aspley and Bilborough estates. My Dad's Grandparents were relocated to Aspley, with their 4 as yet unmarried children. His parents married in 1931, and were allocated an Aspley house, but not until they'd married ! Inspections of the properties were undertaken fortnightly, if the interiors were not clean and gardens unkempt, you had one " advice " session, one warning and then 48 hours notice to leave, " We'll give it someone who WILL look after it properly ! " ..

On the nights of 8-9th May 1941, the Luftwaffe inflicted Nottingham's worse raid of the War and 159 people were killed in the homes & businesses around Meadow Lane, including 48 who died after a direct hit on the Co-Op bakery ... :cry: :cry:

Notts County have the best kit.

And why is it that only the players in column 4 are spared a moustache.

I know that. But they are an old historic club who before the premier league I remember them being up there and always seemed to be better than us.

Then they had the Sven era.

Bigger than where they are now that’s for sure.

Yeah remember them being up there. Thought it was the year before premier league. Used to have the panini cards or stickers around the time.

Always wondered what the logic behind supporting one or other was. I have a Notts county fan as a customer. He just said if you’re a dickhead you’re a forest fan. 😂😂

Yes Council housing was based on the ability to pay your own rent. You had to have a working father, with steady income, while the wife looked after the children.

The rent man called to collect the rent. This served two purposes. 1. The rent was paid or there was an immediate alert. 2. As stated above, the rentman observed the premises and recommended action, if required.
