Exactly. Some light at the end of the tunnel after what seemed like a hopeless situation for the supporters.

You can't predict the future, stressing over things that haven't happened yet is just a waste of your mental health.

Coventry

Portsmouth, Coventry, Luton, and to some extent Wigan, Blackburn

OTHERS?

Blackpool, Charlton

[Platypuss]

Man City, Wolves.

You... you do know you just cited three clubs who have been promoted this year?

I was making the point that even established Top Division clubs can end up in level four
and there is no guarantee that they will come back

Sunderland, Wednesday, Portsmouth have far more history, big fanbases etc

But they've all eventually made their way back to at least the second tier, even Portsmouth who were massively crippled by their poor finances look like it's only a matter of time before they get promoted back to the Championship.

Stockport? Swindon? Oldham?

For the extreme maybe.

They were never established top level clubs. Neither were Wigan, and Blackburn only due to Jack Walker. Wigan's natural level would prob be league 1 or 2 at best.

We could end up like Coventry - its not impossible. But likely is we've just had 3 pretty crap seasons out of 4. This season has been just due to rank bad management and some poor signings/lack of, rather than any lack of investment or stability

We're a championship club who are likely to be playing in the champ again next season, like we have for the last 5

What's an established top flight club? Someone who was there in the 70s /80s, because Wigan were top flight for about 10 years, that's pretty established. It's more established than many bigger clubs have managed in recent decades.

[Hound]

yeah fair question I suppose. The whole idea of being 'established' in the Prem is probably pretty meaningless, unless you are one of the 'big 6'

Hey Oxford managed to go all the way down to the conference from Division 1 ...

[Double d v2]

Hey Oxford managed to go all the way down to the conference from Division 1 ...

And Wimbledon

Hey Oxford managed to go all the way down to the conference from Division 1 ...

And now they're back in League One.

See? Waves. Some examples are more extreme than others, but at the end of the day, the club keeps going, most of the time.

Stockport have a playoff against Chorley tomorrow night, the dream of playing Conference National next year is still alive!

Interesting* to note that Sky's ad for Sunday's game shows no clips of us in action (add your own gag) and merely mentions the race for promotion, suggesting they think our result is unimportant

To be fair, it does seem seriously unlikely we will go down, barring some sort of utter miracle.

So you know we will
