List Of Association Football Clubs With Multiple Consecutive Promotions Or Relegations
This is a list of association football clubs with multiple consecutive promotions or relegations. For an association football club to achieve three consecutive promotions is somewhat rare, to achieve subsequent further promotions even rarer. Many football league systems are organised in a pyramid system, allowing league champions and, in many cases, clubs placed immediately behind the champions to achieve promotion, either directly or through a play-off system. To achieve three or more promotions all as league champions, like the now defunct Gretna did from 2004 to 2007, or Chester did from 2010 to 2013 is exceptional. It is comparably easier for a club to achieve three consecutive relegations, as no particular effort is required. In professional football and, to a lesser extent, in semi-professional and amateur football, this is often caused by financial trouble. A club that achieves promotion, followed by immediate relegation and a subsequent repeat of this cycle is often des ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Santo Tirso
Santo Tirso () is a city and municipality located in the north of Porto Metropolitan Area, 25 km from central Porto, Portugal. In the region, the Ave Valley, there is a large center of textile industry. The population in 2011 was 71,530, in an area of 136.60 km². Another important center in the municipality is Aves. The Santo Tirso Monastery built in 978 is a point of interest. History The History of Santo Tirso is tied to its benedictine monastery. The town grew around it and, from 978 until 1834, it was a "couto" – a neutral area that belonged to the clergy. Known initially as Santo Tirso de Riba de Ave, this city has been the capital of a municipality at least since 1833. Its composition changed throughout the years, especially in 1998, when the nearby city of Trofa created its own municipality, taking some of Santo Tirso's towns with it. Towards the middle of the 19th century, Santo Tirso spearheaded the industrialization of the Ave Valley. One of the first te ...
