Shame to lose the best away day in the league.

League One is a bastard of a league nowadays, with probably an equal if not higher average attendance than the Championship, its so crowded with ex top flight teams that coming back up is twice as hard as it was even 10 years ago

As it stands next season, Derby, Ipswich, Portsmouth, Sheff Wed, Charlton, Sunderland, Bolton all fighting for 3 places.

In addition, I know its a 'if yer auntie had balls..' scenario, but look the table if Derby or Reading hadn't been deducted points


Derby - 52
Cardiff - 49
Bristol C - 48
Reading - 47
Hull - 47

Birmingham - 45
Peterborough - 34
Barnsley - 30

Some clubs have been let off BIG TIME this year.

Reading would have 50? or was it just 6 points?

No sympathy. When clubs get into financial difficulties for spending above their means, they are essentially cheating all the other clubs in the league. Including us!

Yet there are large numbers of our support that would be quite happy to see our owners gamble our future, by spending money we clearly haven't got.

It would be the same people who would then be screaming if it didn't work out.

Nowt as queer as football fans.
 
Said it before and I'll say it again. Club I feel for is Wycombe. They should be suing every tom,dick n harry cos of how they went down last year. The fact they are a 'small' club is getting overlooked in all this.
