The 7 Biggest Clubs Never to Have Played in the Premier League
In 1992 it was the inaugural season of the Premier League which replaced the Football League First Division. Here are the seven biggest clubs never to have play in the Premier League.
8. Tranmere Rovers
Tranmere Rovers are one of the biggest clubs never to have played in the Premier League. During the 90's Tranmere lost three straight play-offs that could have earned them promotion to the Premier League.
The Merseyside club are one of the better supported clubs in the lower divisions and would be a good rival to Liverpool and Everton in the EPL. For now, the closest Tranmere will get to the Premier League is with club fan Mike Dean.
🗣 - Sing it, Mike!

7 . Port Vale
Port Vale have spent most of their history in the second and third division. In fact they hold the record for the most seasons in the English Football League and second tier without reaching the top tier. The closest Port Vale got to reaching the Premier League was an 8th place finish at the end of the 1996-97 season finishing four points off the play-off spots.
6. Luton Town
Luton Town are one of the biggest clubs never to have played in the Premier League. They've spent most of their time in the First and Second Division. The club spent most of the 1980's in the top division of football.
It would be heartbreak for Luton Town as they were relegated on the final day of the 1991-92 season after a loss to Notts County who were already facing the drop. Relegation meant that Luton Town would miss out on the first Premier League season following its launch later in 1992.

This is very informative. It is very important to know things like this.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers 🍻
I would love to see Luton in the Premier League. It's a tall dream but never say never, right?
Would be great, there's so much history at the club they're deserving so
I always root for the underdogs. I would love to have them in the Premier League
..and now Mike Dean is retired. What hope lieth for Tranmere?🙂 Just kidding.
Interesting updates or rather exposé, you regularly give us. Thanks.
Greetings friend.
Hahaha! And Tranmere are in League 2. A long longgggg way for them
Ha Interesting one. Tranmere would be great in the prem. Another Liverpool team.
I go for anyone who's against Liverpool!
I've been so used to these names in the lower leagues that it feels weird thinking of them in the premier league.
I hope Luton can break the jinx very soon
I've heard of their names before but not sure I have watched any of them play. I am excited when I see teams come into the EPL. They give us something we haven't been used to before which makes it exciting.
I love Championship and lower league football. It's a different level but more heart in my opinion
I agree. These elite footballers are greedy and lacked the passion. It's about money for them. I like the lower leagues too
Wow very cool selection. I am now curious about all the other clubs :O
Thank you for sharing.
I was out just a few days and already lost track of your list. 🙂
