Who's Going Out of the League?
This is the question that always intrigues me most, probably because it's always somebody different every year. Looks like Notts County for sure. What a bunch of knobs, and little ones at that. Sorry, that's their chairman. But they're in a horrible mess. And is this the year that Morecombe finally end up where they belong? Should all be very interesting.

County is one of the original 12-only 10 left if they go.

Less Mr D.
If you ever want to annoy a Stoke fan,as indeed you might in your part of the world, they resigned in 1908 went bankrupt and only returned in 1919 after playing in the Birmingham League and the Southern League ...
Same club as the original one or a different club reformed ? .No idea technically but it is an often forgotten fact that they were not constant members of the League in the same way as the other 10 ...
(I don't count the Accrington ..Accrington Stanley ..Accrington Stanley 1968 myth obviously )

If Notts County get relegated, that would leave Preston as the only constant members of the Football League since its inception.

Re: Who's Going Out of the League?
Be a real shame for Notts County and football in general.
Dreadful mismanagement and another nod to what might have happened. Some big clubs have gone down in recent years - many never returning.
Chesterfield (ok not a big club, but one we have played plenty - and lost to) look to be going down again.

Re: Who's Going Out of the League?
That comment didn’t go unnoticed. A good point, although I personally class the Premier League and EFL as one in terms of League football. That could be a great quiz question though.thatdberight wrote:If Notts County get relegated, that would leave Preston as the only constant members of the Football League since its inception.

Re: Who's Going Out of the League?
Yeah, good point. Didn't even cross my mind until you posted that, when we got promoted at Wembley it meant we'd be leaving the football league for the first time in 121 years (although coming very close in '87).thatdberight wrote:If Notts County get relegated, that would leave Preston as the only constant members of the Football League since its inception.

Re: Who's Going Out of the League?
I’m enjoying the swing back to the North through the last years. For too long the South has been on the rise and now the tide is turning.
Leeds followed by Sheff Utd, Norwich, Derby, Boro & WBA should see off any Southern challenge. Looks like Bolton are letting us down but if they are joined by Ipswich and Reading it’s not all bad
Div1 is not so good news with Luton & Pompey leading the way. Sunderland could get there yet and if Barnsley could back them up by winning the playoffs itks two-one to the North. Really need BradfordC & Rochdale to pick up for rest of the season at the bottom end.
Lincoln look nailed on for the title with Bury playing too well to miss out. Mansfield and Carlisle, via the playoffs, would complete a good set. Not looking good at the bottom of that division but if Orient mess up they could be replaced by two Northern teams anyway.
Bottom of league5 is all Southern but for Chesterfied. More good news.
Bring football home.

Re: Who's Going Out of the League?
Not sure where you think Norwich is but I would class that as fairly Southern.piston broke wrote:I’m enjoying the swing back to the North through the last years. For too long the South has been on the rise and now the tide is turning.
