Us and Huddersfield are 48th & 49th different teams to be in the premier league. Paddy Power are offering odds on who the 50th will be:



Where would you put your money?

I think Bristol City could be if they can get some investment, decent sized stadium and Rovers aside, they have a decent catchment area.

Football did not start in 1992.

You don't see charts or speculation on who has played in the Championship, which was simply a renamed division two.

Halifax haven't. Never been higher than third in the third tier.

I think Brentford are worth a shout and am not surprised at the odds. Seem to be stabilising year on year and have a good style of play.

Which county has Rotherham moved to? Not sure about the point of this comment as I think all the teams that are based in Yorkshire and are in the football league have spent time in the premiership bar the 2 we just listed

No AFC Wimbledon either, assume they are taking the original Wimbledon as counting for both of them.

Dons would not be happy to be lumped in with that lot.

Back in my pocket.

Could be a long time before we know the 50th team, so your money just sits with the bookie. No thanks.
