Saints were relegated earlier than that, in 1900-1901 season we failed to win promotion into the first set of national leagues, and in 1901-1902 season finished 3rd in Lancashire to be promoted into what was division 1. However we tanked and finished 2nd to bottom and were relegated. We were promoted again straight away the following season but once again did poorly in division 1 - but saved on a technicality to not be relegated again.
This is the only time I think (maybe someone who was there can confirm - rogues I'm looking at you  ) |

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row

Well done young man. I believe the second relegation was avoided as the RL went to one division at the end of that season. There is (was) a superb reference site on t'internet but I didn't save the url when I bought my new computer.
So the only two clubs still in existence who have never been relegated, to my knowledge, are Leeds and Warrington.

Leeds have never been relegated like Warrington, but unlike Warrington, Leeds haven't spent their entire time in the top division. They only joined the new Northern League the year AFTER it was formed. |

Perhaps you should have done your research first before accusing people of lying.

Thanks for you research RG.
Lying is a bit strong though.
He had a difference of opinion because he was unaware of the history.
With your help he was educated and held his hand up and in doing so revealed his embarrassment to you especially.
Takes a big man to admit rather than retreat into silence.
It's not always right to make another swipe after such a gesture.

No, he accused me of lying.

And his apology was to you.
But maybe you have point and it's now better put to bed. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Interesting thread. I was not aware of the 1900 relegation for Saints either. So educated here too.
Just on a side issue from the VT, there is a legal point being made that a club only exsists until it goes into administration. So from that Bradford v 6.0 have not been relegated either as well as Leeds and Wakefield v (not sure what number they are on).
