Quoted from chaos33
They'd have to be absolutely to$$ to get relegated from the conference though, and in all honesty they will not be bad enough. Seems much more likely, speaking as a neutral, that they might have a 'middling' sort of first season. Ditto Orient too.
I reckon both teams will finish nearer the top than the bottom but they should prepare themselves for some sticky spells and abject results along the ride. Like Orient's last night and Hartlepool's last Saturday.

Never mind eh.


Have to agree that H'pool ought to have too many experienced players to go down....unless the unfulfilled expectations of their fans creates a
toxic atmosphere.
Can't say I know or care much about Orient, but I'll give their supporters credit for resisting the lure of Premiershit alternatives.

To be honest, the stance from the club is questionable for the check a trade as there's not a fixture list on the cards they've given out or on the a4 sheets they gave out, I couldn't even tell you when the first game is!

That said I think if the boycott is kept up from last season, I think you won't see this format next season.

    Town's first season ended in mid table. Remember it took us six long years with gradual improvement year on year to get out, so there is no reason to assume it will be any different for Hartlepool or Orient or Tranmere. And how long have Wrexham been in that league now?

They were relegated in the 2007/08 season so this will be their 10th season down there.

Would like to see them come back up really. A proper club with a loyal fanbase.

Wrexhams position is all the more galling when you consider they had a couple seasons in the 90 points when we were first down there. I might be mistaken, but I think it was Crawley and fleetwood who went up ahead of them, who were both well funded at the time.

Tranmre,Wrexham,Lincoln, us Luton have all found getting out of there a lot harder especially as only ONE teams goes up by right. These well funded smaller clubs have levelled the playing field.
