From Facebook, so with a pinch of salt but..
We are apparently the English Football League team who have gone the longest without playing a league game against a new opponent.
Our game against Gillingham in 1998 was the last time we played a team for the first time in the league.
Yes, that is interesting!

Can only think of Harrogate who we have never played at all Barrow Fleetwood Crawley. Morecambe never in league anyone else? |

MK Dons don't count I assume? We played the original Wimbledon in 85/86 but feels wrong to conflate the two......

Won 3, drawn 2, lost 1 I know, but if Gillingham was 1998 we didn't play MK Dons until 2002 and there will have been another EFL team that didn't play them until after us. But they're using the old Wimbledon history I'm guessing which is why they don't count...... |

Not sure who the Oatcake negativos can blame this on... Oi Schumacher - get your finger out, get us relegated twice so we can play Dorking...  |

Boston United? Were in the league for a few years. Did we ever play them?

The one advantage of getting relegated for Vale is that they will maintain their record of being the only club to have played all the other teams in the league.

Wycombe and Macclesfield would have also been first time league meetings in 1998/99 (Gillingham being the last one, we played them right after our first match against Wycombe). Can’t think of anyone since.
