...... Club 590 Freyastown Wanderers are the only members of the Premier League never to have been relegated from the Division. Although they are safe this season they are currently unmanaged so that record will be under severe threat in Season 12

Only two clubs have won the Premier League more than once. Those are 633 Edinburgh (Seasons 3 and 9) and 600 Formorgan United (Seasons 5 and 7). With these two clubs currently sitting 1st and 2nd separated by 3 points there is added incentive for a Title win but there are others who will feel they can still gate crash the party.

600 Formorgan get another mention. They are the only club to have lifted both Cup and Trophy in the same season which they did on Season 4. There are NO instances of a treble, Formorgan finished 8th that season and probably the closest we came was 626 Elland Aces in Season 10 who lifted the Premier League and Trophy but fell at the semi final stage of the Cup.

The Trophy probably should be renamed the 'Elland Aces Trophy' as they look forward to yet another final against 633 Edinburgh. Having lifted the trophy in Seasons 8, 9 and 10 Elland are unbeaten in this competition since the Quarter Finals way back in Season 7... and amazing record.

Talking of amazing records up until this season 616 Charlton Pathetic had never won a Cup or Trophy tie. I mean not ever. They had been knocked out in Round 1 of both competitions every single season. That all ended with a win in this seasons Cup Round 1 at 618 Moorland Rangers but normal service was resumed in Round 2 with a home defeat at the hands of 631 Belton.

No fewer than 6 clubs have achieved successive promotions from Division 3 to the Premier. They are:

633 Edinburgh Hotspur (Seasons 1-3)
630 Northern Scum (Seasons 1-3)
627 Liverwolves (Seasons 2-4)
636 FC Hammer (Seasons 3-5)
603 Boro Barbarians (Seasons 6-8)
608 Clearbrook FC (Seasons 7-9)

Thanks, will try and do something similar for League 1 when I get the chance. League 3 doesn't have so much history but I'm sure I can put something together after this season is concluded.

Although Micheal is a brilliant manager Edinburgh can't have won the Prem in season 3 and got promoted consecutively season 1 to 3 from division 3!

Having played against Edinburgh home and away for a great many years and against his numerous other clubs in various leagues and versions; I am of the opinion that Michael is so good, he actually could have won the Premier league even while being in League 1.

Thrust 519 - league 1.

Static Wanderers 585 - league 2.

Earthlings 1259 - league 3.

Spurs are set to snap him up as the next manager this sort of thing doesn't go un noticed

Love any sort of stat based info, I've generated a spreadsheet of all the winners from all the Leagues/cups/trophies using Paul's archive as a reference point. Pointless but very interesting laugh
