Which football club has been promoted and relegated most often?
Three English League clubs have changed divisions on a record 28 occasions. Notts County have been promoted 13 times but relegated on 15 occasions since being among the founder members of the Football League in 1888.
Birmingham City have been promoted and relegated 14 times each since joining the league in 1892. During the same period Grimsby Town have been promoted 12 times, but relegated on 16 occasions as well.
Next come Leicester City, with 22 changes of division, including eight in the last 20 years. Manchester City have been promoted on 11 occasions but relegated 10 times.
The recent specialists have been Brighton and Hove Albion, promoted ten times and relegated on nine occasions since 1958. That included five changes of division (three up, two down) in six seasons between 2001 and 2006. Middlesbrough were promoted or relegated ten times between 1982 and 1998.
Worldwide, the record for successive promotions and relegations is apparently held by the Norwegian club SK Brann: they went up in 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985 and 1987, but down in 1980, 1982, 1984 and 1986.
