Rochdale!

[suedehead]

So, technically, Aldershot Town have never been relegated as they are a different club from Aldershot.

Technically yes but they're the same club in spirit. Same colours, same ground, same nickname. Their name is even the old Aldershot's original name. They're certainly closer to being the same club than the current incarnation of Accrington Stanley is.

Darlington being the team with the 2nd-longest run in the 4th tier (16 seasons)... next longest is Bury and Macclesfield (who will both be in their 10th season in League Two next year).
