145 years without being promoted!

Sounds like a good job for Russell Slade. He would fit right in.

Surely not being re-elected counts as being relegated? I'm sure Town weren't thinking in 1910 (or was it 11?) 'that's OK, we've not really been relegated out of the League. Just not re-elected."

But still remarkable stability. The GTFC Yang to our GTFC Ying.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Too true, as we actually have, or might only be had now, the most promotions and relegations of any football league club with 30 apparantly

Blimey, I knew we had a lot but had no idea it was so many.

Edit: https://www.theguardian.com/fo.....elegations-knowledge

If this is right we're on 31 now, although Notts may equal that in the next month or so.

Marketing departments dream ...
"following relegation to the National League we are proud to announce a 15% increase in season ticket sales based upon our previous League form at that level where we consistently finished at Play Off level and that STH's will get first dibs on Trophy Final tickets...also by choosing to invest in a STH with us you are more likely to be involved in an exciting end of season promotion or relegation battle with us , than you are at any other football league club..FACT! So come on down to Blundell Park and join us on our exciting journey through Englands footballing backwaters"

It’s a sad state of affairs at Trinity. They were owned by Peter Swann the current Scunmy chairman. His Mrs is the heiress to the Wilkinson stores so he had a fair bit of clout. The Blues Club which is the social club joined to the ground refused to sell him the ground so he could redevelop it and despite rumblings of them building a new stadium he got fed up of the issues placed at his feet and sold up. They had pretty much a professional side a few years ago, Brian Little as manager and had players like Luke Beckett, Luke Waterfall, Andrew Boyce, Michael Leary, Paul Mayo, Lee Ridley, James Hunt, Jamie Clarke, Ryan Williams, Sam Aiston, Darryn Stamp, Terry Hawkridge, Adie Moses and Phil Barnes amongst many others.  

Since Swann left and despite making the National League North play off final a few years ago they’ve gone backwards in every way, they can’t afford to compete with the bigger sides in that division. Stockport, York, Darlington and then money bags teams like Salford and Harrogate. Up until appointing Lee Sinnott they had a chap in charge who managed before at Lincoln Moorlands Railway who are on the 11th tier of the football pyramid. Even Nathan Jarman was Player/Manager this year for a spell. I honestly can’t see them coming back up anytime soon unfortunately.

The way Swann upped and left Gainsborough should be a stark warning to our friends up the M180.

Last I saw they had abandoned their new Lakeside stadium development and were planning to redevelop Glanford Park.  With them posting huge losses over the last few years, should they be worried that he may get bored again and walk away?
