Team Achievement Willy Waving

[Richard Cranium]

We also have the oldest Football league ground. Think we were the first side to play with the Yellow ball aswell

 

[UTS]

Mansfield, the true pioneers of football technology

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

First ever Football League side to field a Starting XI with 11 Academy players.
Finished bottom of the Football League more than any other side (Nine)
We've never lost a game at Wembley and have only conceded 1 goal there in 4 visits, surely the best record for a lower division side at Wembley? (excluding defeat on penalties vs York in 1993)
Record transfer sale for a League Two player in Nick Powell
One of a handful of clubs to have never won a League Title
Currently the only Football League club in Cheshire (current and historic)

 

[UTS]

See, that Crewe list is a proper list of achievements.

The starting XI all being academy grads is phenomenal

But doesn't belong here. I wanted the true records to be proud of like first team to offer Bovril as a drink at a ground or first team to have a player named Clive.

We need to out tinpot Mansfield with their floodlight and yellow ball nonsense!

 

[THE TERRACEMAN]

That 1st line of being the 1st football league to field a starting X1 with academy players is definitely something to be proud of !

Indeed and I don't think any other club will ever do it again. I would love to see another club match it though, for the benefit of the game.

 

[GloverGing]

Knocked out the most league teams in the FA Cup as a non-league team (20)
First and only league team in Somerset
Joint fewest defeats in a Conference season (3)
First Australian to play at the new Wembley (Scott Guyett)

 

[shoddycollins]

Very much so. He's lived in the same house in Wandsworth (not far from Wimbledon) for over 40 years.

Rumour has it that the writer of New Tricks wanted the character to be a West Brom fan, as he was, but Alun Armstrong persuaded him to change it to AFC Wimbledon.

I know he is a WBA fan as I read the characters are all named after old WBA players.

Also, a northerner living in London but supporting WBA would just have been too weird.

Aye - we beat Peterborough 3-1.

Lee peacock became the 1st ever player to score with the yellow ball, and also the first to score a hat-trick with it.

Go us

 

[Richard Cranium]

Decorated in history us

 

[3Loggerheads]

First English team to sign a Scottish Black player from a Scottish league club...... Victor Kasule,

First league club to be managed by a surviving player from the Munich Air disaster... goalkeeper Harry Gregg

The first Football League teams to play at Wembley in a competitive fixture were Bristol Rovers and Shrewsbury Town in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final on 26 May 2007. Shrewsbury Town became the first league team to score at Wembley and also the first league team to have a player sent off

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Only team in England to lose a play-off on the Golden Goal rule.

Ouch !

Go us

We beat Barnet 5-0 on the Friday night.

 

[r1ch1e]

Winner of the longest penalty shootout in the JPT - 14-13 against Orient. All pens scored with no misses until their 14th

 

[Richard Cranium]

Think we now hold the record for longest run of games without being awarded a penalty.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

Of course Pools are the most successful at being re elected 14 times entered 14 times successful .....no one has come close......

 

[AdamStag]

We beat Barnet 5-0 on the Friday night.

It was, you are right.

Though we did also beat Peterborough 3-1 (not the same night obv)

 

[shoddycollins]

Of course Pools are the most successful at being re elected 14 times entered 14 times successful .....no one has come close......

And given that you're quite an old club, it's almost impressive than in that long long history of yours, you've won precisely bupkis.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

It's only Bupkis If you discount the Durham Senior Cup which in some seasons features Sunderland reserves! Roll on the day when Durham invades Cumbria and your forced to take part!

 

[Bartonyellow]

You wish!

It is.

And that's only 200 less than you.

 

[UTS]

It is.

And that's only 200 less than you.

Burton Albion - 3,227
Bury 3,774

Your figure is also skewed by many large away followings. (Pompey,Luton,Shrewsbury,Wycombe, Mansfield and Northampton)

 

[Bartonyellow]

That figure will increase given we had 5720 yesterday.

Mansfield, Pompey and Northampton bought circa 800. Wycombe about the same.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Besides I expect it to rise again next season..what with more interest in the town from the new hangers on binning their sat afternoons watching soccer Saturday.

 

[UTS]

That figure will increase given we had 5720 yesterday.

Nope, that's your average. 23 home games

 

[Bartonyellow]

Well I stand corrected then. It's still decent considering we where getting less than 1000 ten years ago.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Fuck off with your attendance bull. This is for serious discussion about serious football matters. Number crunching has no place here.

 

[UTS]

I think we hold a league record for the shortest game? 6 minutes vs Southend
