We've really never had any experience of this in our entire history have we? With one or two minor exceptions, when we change divisions we tend to stay there for a good stretch, and we've never had a sustained WBA/Norwich-style period of bouncing up and down. It's even more curious when you consider we're a pretty classic 1st tier-2nd tier team, with approximately equal amounts of time spent in each. Even when we went down to the 3rd we spent a few seasons there, both times. Have we ever spent a single season in any division and then got immediately promoted or relegated? I don't think we have.
Is it unusual or could most teams of our stature say the same?

It's a yo-yo no-no (should have called the thread that really)

I expect the yo-yo-ing will start after the next time we get promoted.

One of the minor exceptions might be going down in 77, back up in 79, but apart from that, nothing recently, even when we sank to the third division.
It's a bit galling that Norwich and Watford look to be bouncing straight back, and of the two other teams who came down with us, WBA are back already and Swansea are in with a good shout.
Meanwhile, we continue to be a bit shit.
On the plus side, our average stay in Div 2 is just five years, so expect something to happen one way or the other sometime soon!
It's odd how many of our promotions occur in years ending 2-3 (plus one relegation) so maybe next year?
