Doncaster's fifth place is the highest position achieved by any club to have come up from the Conference since automatic promotion to the Football League was introduced 23 years ago.
If you mean how long for Colchester to get from the Conference to the Championship - then 15 years. We did it in 6 which really is a record since only Colchester and ourselves have made it up to the Championship from the Conference. Since Colchester were relegated in their second season in the Championship we are also the ex Conference club with the greatest longevity in the ChampionshipObscure or what
Surprised it hasn't been mentioned that we are now officially Yorkshire's number one team (without having to pretend that Hull really isn't in Yorkshire). That must be another first surely?
