Our most common opposition (over last 50 yrs)

[Rofesleg]

I have created another list - this time of how many seasons we have been in the same division as every other club over the last 50 years.
So in effect, teams we have played the most league games against.
It was just to show who our regular competition is and whether it tallied with my own perception.
Only 5 teams have been in the same division as us for more than half of that time, with the most regular one being with us for 32 out of the 50 seasons.
Any guesses who? (Before I post the list).
