Def played Nuneaton and Great Harwood
Correct mikemiller Kidderminster Harriers dont think we have ever played them not even a friendly
FAO Rolymiller and Brassgnat - We've played Swansea 76 times, only 5 of which were cup games.... so they really were "Abaht ar barrer", until fairly recently

The Millers were in 3rd North from 1925-50. A long time to rack up games against fellow northern clubs. If you include unofficial war games, it would be a great deal more.

Good point, Jock. In the old Division 3 North, only one team was promoted and relegation was not automatic. Teams that did achieve promotion (like Lincoln), often came back down again quite quickly. There was not much of a turnover of clubs in that division over a long period of time. Same applies to some of the others high on the list, plus for York we've had quite a few extra cup games over the years too.
Outside of the "Division 3 Northerners", there seem to be some teams who have followed us (or we have followed them) up and down the leagues after Division 3 regionalisation finished - eg Plymouth, Brentford, Shrewsbury and, until recently, Swansea.
Got cut off!
Division 3N teams included Walsall (who had a spell in Division 3S too), Wrexham, and Crewe.
Surprising that we have not had more fixtures against the Sheffield clubs. Although many of their fans don't like to admit it, they have been up and down the leagues quite a lot, plus we've had several cup ties against them
We must have played Workington at some stage but more obscure is New Brighton FC have we played them think they got voted out 1952 I may have been but memory is vague
