Blades v Pigs outside the top tier

[SUFC Handsworth]

I think I'm correct in saying that the two seasons United and Wednesday have been in the third tier at the same time the pigs were the higher placed team and promoted both times ... but does anyone know the last time the pigs ended up higher placed than us in the second tier? I have a feeling it's the same year the pigs last won any type of divisional title ie not very recently? Over to you Silent!

1958-59.

1958-59.

And 1951-52 despite us beating them 7-3 and 3-1!

 

[Silent Blade]

1937-38 season was the first time we were in the same division as them outside the top tier! 45 years after we entered the Football League. We pipped them for the 2nd promotion spot in 1939 by beating Spurs 6-1 in our last match

I still celebrate that 7-3 ass whooping every 8th of September, even though I wasn't born when it occurred because when are you ever going to put 7 past your nearest rivals again? (And I'm en eternally sad bastard).

Mate there's a large section of fowls that still talk about boxing day despite still sucking of their mother's nipples.

The final ghost the Lord Wilder has to lay to rest is doing them 4-0, preferably more, and at Pigsborough

Thinking about it, next season is the only 15th season for us being in the same division as them outside the top flight.

After they fell from the premier, the first time they finished above us was 2012.
In fact, I'm pretty sure they never had a week above us in those 10/11 championship years

Mate there's a large section of fowls that still talk about boxing day despite still sucking of their mother's nipples.

I wonder how much they'd go on about a top flight double done by a team of over achieving under dogs against a team of international players, including the England goalkeeper, that effectively stopped us winning the league?!

We really should use that whenever the Boxing Day 3rd division game in the 1970's is mentioned.

I will! But what are you referring to? Just in case I'm asked?

That's how it's allus been done in Sarf Barnsley

I know they're backwards but surely they're on solids by now.

seems to have got cut short by the second world war
not one game in the 60 s and most of the 80s, ( first 5 months apart ) and 90s we avoided each other outside the top
not many in reality
it is missing the last one though 2011-12 ( yes i wanted to forget it too)
so it will be the 16th
