Has any team ever had 4 consecutive promotions  I think Rotherham rugby did something like 6 or 7, but that was when the league system was sorting itself out rom scratch. |

I've read elsewhere online that apparently the church bells at Holy Nativity, on Wells Road Totterdown, pealed 'Goodnight Irene' this morning!

They won the 4th Division Championship in 82-83 and started the 86-87 season in Division 1. Fleetwood have achieved 6 promotions in something like 9 years which is pretty impressive. |

So the accolade of the first to do 4 back-to-back promotions, from 5th tier to top tier, is still up for grabs.  ... |

No, am sure some other team went top to bottom in successive seasons before them. was it Wolves? Both Carlisle and Northampton have dropped from the top division to the bottom in successive seasons. A long time ago now |

I think Coterill did something similar at cheltenham |

A long time ago now Northampton Town Football Club /nɔːrˈθæmptən ˈtaʊn/ is a professional association football club based in the town of Northampton, Northamptonshire, England. The team play in League One, the third tier of English football. They hold the record for the shortest time taken to be promoted from the bottom tier to the top tier and relegated back down to the bottom again, in the space of nine years. from 65/66 to 1969/70 The highest attendance at the County Ground of 24,523 was recorded on 9 March 1965 in an important 'relegation battle' match in the First Division match against Fulham. The capacity of the new ground at Sixfields is now 7,653 so it is unlikely that this record will be broken in the foreseeable future unless redevelopment takes place. The highest attendance at this ground is 7,579 which was recorded against Bristol Rovers on 9 April 2016. |
