PlatypussWycombe RoyalThaumagurist* I suggest you rely on soccerbase rather than f365!
THis is the same Soccerbase that shows us as having Brian Howard on loan and some other player called Adam Griffin on loan as well?
I can see your point.
Site I'd most trust is http://www.royalsrecord.co.uk/
In particular:
http://www.royalsrecord.co.uk/seasons/summary.html
FWIW, it shows 17 at Tier 2 and 8 at Tier 4 since 1920/21 (first season in Football League)
THat's a good site and one which I never knew existed - now bookmarked.
