Just one thing though, Luton's ban of away fans from Kenilworth Road in the 1980s predates "the last 15 seasons". They were even thrown out of the 86-87 league cup as a result. The ban lasted 4 seasons.

The correct answer is in the National League

Wrexham vs Histon in 2010

clues were:

last 15 seasons (2010)
top 5 divisions (the last one)
Team promoted within the last 5 years but not into the national league (Wrexham)
Team relegated since (Histon about 6 times)
There is a franchise involved (Disney and Wrexham)

Given the promotion relegation to the National League, I'd suggest it is Luton as they've played in the NL reasonably recently so would have played many of those newly promoted sides that Barcelona & Hove Albion and Bentford would have missed out on in the last few seasons.

Sutton have only been in the football league since 21-22 so its someone who has at least played in Div 4 in that season or sometime after

I am saying Bradford

I reckon Notts County have as well. Just having a look.

<EDIT>

No they haven't. The've never beaten Fleetwood in the league, although they have in the cup and they've never beaten AFC Wimbledon (or Wimbledon), although that could change next month.

They've never beaten Sutton in the Football League, although they have in the National League.

It's also very likely that there were games in the league's early days when there were no away fans.

I remember this one from a few years ago: British cities that have had more than one team appear in the European Cup semi-finals. Answer was (now) Manchester (City, Utd), London (Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs), Glasgow (Celtic, Rangers), and...Dundee & Dundee Utd :shock:
