None of those sorry. Although Standard were in 11th place with 90 years. Nantes hold the record in France with 44 years.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer · 13-09-2014 3:50pm

Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid.

Nope - You might think so after Standard were so high but Anderlecht only became a force years after them.

So have just been continuously in the Belgian league for 76 years.

I say "just".

Fr Tod Umptious · 13-09-2014 4:56pm

Surely if Bohs are 9th with 94 years then Arsenal should be there are they are 99 years in the top flight this season

Or am I reading the question wrong ?

artanevilla · 13-09-2014 5:04pm

Servette of Switzerland?

This is why I'm thinking Servette. Switzerland was neutral during the wars.

Servette we're kicked out of the Swiss league recently enough for financial irregularities,Lausanne Sports and Neuchatel Xamax also. Thinking Switzerland, YB, Basel, FCZ and GZ have been knocking around for years.

Did clocks around the world stop during these periods or why does 99 years not bigger than 94 years?

They werent playing football during this period.

Didnt count it but Bohs went straight from the Irish League to the LOI. So for them its over 100 years of senior football in reality.

artanevilla · 13-09-2014 6:22pm

Consecutive years would mean calender years I suppose.

Glenavon?

If the old Irish league counts then surely so do Soviet leagues.

He's just intimated they don't. Bohs years in the LOI only count. Not in the Irish League.

Ajax have been in the top flight since 1917

Also Aberdeen if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Aberdeen is one of the clubs.

The Dutch league was only founded in 1956 - before that they had regional leagues. So as such they were a regional powerhouse.

losthorizon · 13-09-2014 6:44pm

The ones got so far were Celtic, Rangers, Cliftonville, Glentoran, Linfield, Aberdeen, Bohs.

Three left.

Two continental european - actually very hard.

And one from these islands - also quite difficult.

Austrian Vienna but I don't know what the story with their league and when it officially started.

Fr Tod Umptious · 13-09-2014 6:50pm

KR of Iceland.

Correct

losthorizon · 13-09-2014 8:29pm

I'll just give the final two answers - Rapid Vienna and Distillery from NI.

I got all the info from RSSSF bty

Its interesting that such a powerful nation as Germany only started a proper league in the 1960s. Before that it was regional leagues. The only club that has been in every top flight since has been Hamburg.

And they nearly blew that a couple of months ago. Looks like there going to give relegation another go this year.
