Yes, I thought they were called Accrington and not AS but having checked it, I was wrong. The two Stanleys aren't connected, the original club died in the 1960s and the new one was formed in 1970, there's no legal connection between the two. Like I said, Gateshead and AS always go together in my mind as they disappeared about the same time

You maybe thinking of Boston United or Barnet - both of which we played several times at The Withdean in Cup games.

I am pretty certain Chelsea are the only league side we have played and never beaten in a league game. We did beat them in an FA Cup game back in the 1930's though. By my reckoning we've never played Burton Albion, Accrington Stanley, Fleetwood or Morecambe, should these clubs even count towards the list as we've never met them so it's a bit difficult to beat them. We've beaten the old version of Newport and the current club are a continuation of that.
Chelsea are the only team we have never taken a league point off. (Of those that we have played)

Have we beaten Burton?
Assuming you mean Burton Albion, then no.
But we have never played a competitive game against them.
Yes I remember it well - Kevin Bremner guilty of quite a few missed chances...!!

Didn't we beat MK in the paint pot a few years back at Withdean? Don't know if you'd relay call it a 'competitive' fixture though
We did and we also beat them in the league when we won league one. Lua Lua scored a screamer against them.

Dagenham & Redbridge: 2 games, 2 wins. 100%.
Pretty sure they're the only one; of the current league teams anyway.
