Newcastle's Plight In Numbers - What Exactly Would Relegation Mean?
4. 3rd - The 2015-16 Campaign Would Be Just The Third Season Out Of The Premier League's 24 In Total In Which Newcastle Have Not Appeared
Newcastle United may not have been a part of the inaugural Premier League season in 1992-93, but take out the 2009-10 Championship campaign and they have been in 21 of the other 22. If they were relegated on Sunday, Newcastle would be outside of the Premier League for just the third time in its 24 seasons (if you include 2015-16). The Magpies aren't Premier League ever-presents, but they're more than regulars - or at least they have been until this season. Who knows when they'd be back if they do drop out?
