Relegation

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

just looked it up on wikipedia bud, i wanted it to be true as much as you did but unfortunately your wrong :(

History
For more details on this topic, see History of Arsenal F.C. (1886–1966) and History of Arsenal F.C. (1966–present).
Arsenal were founded as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, but were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. They renamed themselves again to Woolwich Arsenal after turning professional in 1891. The club joined the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. However, the club's geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems and effectively bankrupt by 1910, when they were taken over by Henry Norris.[2] Norris sought to move the club elsewhere, and in 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, Arsenal moved to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury,

Arsenal are the only team not to off officaly
Despite finishing last in the table in our first season at Highbury but with WW1 breaking out the football was stoped for a few years while the outbreak was on
When the football came back Henry Norris (our chairman at the time) got the FA some how to let us back in with the experinse of Spurs lol

IN PRACTISE, YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT/WRONG. :?

ARSENAL DID HAVE A SPELL IN THE 2ND DIVISION IN THE EARLY DAYS BUT HAVEN'T BEEN RELEGATED SINCE RETURNING TO THE FIRST DIVISION IN 1919. 8) THEY HOLD THE RECORD FOR THE MOST YEARS SPENT CONSECUTIVELY IN THE TOP DIVISION.

EVERTON HAVE ALSO BEEN RELEGATED BUT HAVE THE RECORD FOR MOST SEASONS IN TOTAL SPENT IN THE TOP DIVISION. :lol: :wink:
