Not looked at the link but the first team that jumped into my head was Wolves...

edit: until I read 'without having EVER been promoted to the top flight'. Derp.

plymouth?

plymouth?

Very, very close!

Plymouth Argyle have spent 40 seasons in the Second Flight without ever getting promoted.

The club I'm looking for has spent 41 seasons there.

Leyton Orient or someone like that? Or have they played top flight?

 

[Blue Streak]

Complete shot in the dark but is it Bournemouth?

 

[Cellarite]

bristol rovers/city?

 

[THFC6061]

None of the clubs mentioned.

Orient were in the Top Flight for a season and Bristol City had nine seasons in the Top Flight and actually finished runners-up in 1907.

The club in question is one of the very few in the Football League who aren't named after a town or city.

Right my second attempt is leading me to believe it's Port Vale?
