This trivia feature isn't really setting the world on fire but I'll give it another go, hoping someone will turn something up.

(1) The entire population of Fleetwood ~25 000 at the last census would fit inside Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane. Maybe we should invite them to swell the coffers.

(2) Nathan Pond has played for Fleetwood in seven different divisions:

North West Counties League First Division
Northern Premier League Division One
Northern Premier League Premier Division
Conference North
Conference Premier
Football League Two
Football League One

This is a record for one player with one team
 

We've never beaten them in a competitive game have we? (assuming there's only been the two)

Could they be the fastest climbing team in football?
 
I like the breastfeeding liberality :) will go to the away game :p

The team that beat us last season contained 6 of their champion Morris Dancing team

We've never beaten Fleetwood Town.... Ever, ever, ever!!!

Wonder if there are any other teams that hold that record against us, domestically and competitively? Obviously those random Italian teams we played in Anglo-Italian cup do.

We have never beaten Cambridge in the league. I think we've beaten all the other current teams in the league save them and fleetwood.

Our record against Hereford is 4 draws out of 4, but they don't exist any more.

We've beaten Cambridge in the FA Cup and Anglo-Scottish Cup so Fleetwood are indeed the only current league club who we have played in a competitive fixture and never beaten.

Well there's summat to aim for. I'll get the champagne on ice.
 
There are four league clubs we have never played in any competitive fixture;

Dagenham and Redbridge
Barnet
Accrington Stanley
AFC Wimbledon

We did, of course, play the old Wimbledon and we did play a previous team from Accrington in the Test Match in 1893 (our only "play off" win). You could also argue that the current Newport County (whom we have never played) is not the same club as the Newport County that collapsed in 1989.

I'd love us to go to Barnet and stuff them. We'd probably get beat mind you.

If memory serves Accrington S are the only team of the 4 we have even played in a friendly. Probably because United are not going to travel all the way to London to play a shit team in a friendly.

Same. Hearing some no-mark club singing 'You're not famous anymore' whilst beating us on our own patch was fucking haunting.

I hope we tear them a number of new arseholes tomorrow night. Alas, I'm not confident of such a result.

We're underdogs. The pressure's off, we can play with some freedom.

We're the underdogs against Fleetwood.

If someone had told me we'd be saying that in 2015 nine years ago after we'd just turned Arsenal over in the Premiership I'd have laughed my bollocks off.

What a shit state of affairs :(

We're not the underdogs though, we're massive favourites.

They play in an Arsenal type kit (don't they?). Their ground is called Highbury (isn't it?). We can always dream.
 
We have never beaten Udinese, Piacenza and Ancona in a competitive fixture but NOT Cesena (100% win record :) )

The biggest employer in Fleetwood is the Fishermans Friend factory.

I bet trick-or-treating is a fucking hoot in Fleetwood :confused:
