Re: Are we about to become a PL/Championship yo-yo club?

After our first 2 seasons back in the second when we finished 7th twice, we went 6 seasons in the bottom half.

Try looking at Burnley - Halifax return (Leeds Train) and then Halifax to London Kings Cross (Normally around £30). £50 all in return, though not sure about weekends. Normally a half hour wait at Halifax.
