@kiwipie all correct bar Luton who did indeed go down with County. Swindon were there the first two seasons.
Forest have had three spells in Premiership but haven't featured since 98-99
Preston haven't graced Tier One of English football since 1961. They have actually spent the majority of the last 50 years in the bottom two leagues even having to reapply in 1986. They have only been in the Championship since 2015-16. they are the only First Division Champions yet to feature in the Premier League.

DISQUALIFIED
45. Millwall - courtesy of dogmeat -
@bovidae I reckon it's Plymouth Argyle. Certainly the biggest club from the biggest city never to have played at top level.
They have ben tier 3 champions 5 times have had six spells in Tier 2, once for 20 years (including WW2 They finished 4th in 1953, the closest they have ever come to promotion although they did also have a chance in 86 just outside the play-offs. They did get to the FA Cup semis in 1984

@sparky said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Oldham Athletic, Bradford City and Sunderland have all been in the EPL at some point.
Thanks, how could I have forgotten Sunderland
Just thought of another possibility but can't remember their name but they play in vertical blue and white stripes from memory and come from one of those old towns up north somewhere.

@higgins OK It's quite difficult scanning through 50 guresses so only just noticed you have Millwall - which gets the buzzer I'm afraid.
Damn, I have scratched them from my list. What about Swindon, they were a speculative guess.

I reckon Rochdale must be the most uneventful club in the league - barring losing an early League Cup final when nobody took it seriously. Joined Third Division North when it formed in 1921 then went into the 4th when the league went nationwide in 1959. Promoted from Div 4 to Div 3 (League 2 to 1) on 3 occasions but never lasting for long. Never made the 2nd tier or dropped out of the league. Any better offers?

Luton the only team with a chance of becoming number 51 this season. The only other 2nd tier sides who haven't reached the EPL are Preston, Bristol City and Peterborough
