Don’t know if anyone is as sad as me and takes an interest in the comings and goings in other English leagues, but we’re starting to see the business end come to its climax…

Anyway, Fulham look like they’re coming up to the PL which will be very welcome for someone based in SW London. Looks like Bournemouth will join them and then it’s tough to call. Luton coming up would be hilarious. Relegation places pretty much sorted and sadly Reading may well stay up.

In L1 it’s ridiculous that Sunderland could miss out again given their size, but it’s also quite funny. Looks like Wigan + 2 others and it’s all very tight. At the bottom, I’ll be very pleased to see AFC Wimbledon go down - such a shitty hypocrisy of a club.

In L2, promotion places look close to sorted. Forest Green - who the fuck are they?! Going down to non league are Scunthorpe and possibly Oldham - the first PL team to drop out of the EFL altogether?

Stockport and Wrexham - two great names from previous decades - look like favourites to join the EFL.

Any interest or views? No? Just me then…

Wimbledon I guess ceased to exist as a former Premier League club .

Otherwise closest was the season before the Premier League when Luton and Notts County were in the top division. Luton spent 5 years in non-league and Notts County are there now.

As a big Wealdstone fan (National League) I've been keeping an eye on the bottom of League 2. Stevenage not out of trouble yet, would be quite handy if they were relegated.

I tend to keep an eye on the welsh clubs.

Good things happening with Wrexham tbf
 
I was listening to an interview of Steve Bruce yesterday. How does he keep getting jobs ? He moaned , made poor excuses & basically was telling the owners that he needs half a dozen , new , quality players. Nothing appeared to be his fault , it’s incredible

My hometown club Swindon Town done well this season despite no pre season and just 5 players on the books two weeks before the first game after selling the club (away from the scumbag Lee Power). They may just miss out on the play offs IMO but that is because of transfer embargo meaning couldn’t sign players on more than - year deals so rely on loans.

Shame really, a missed opportunity this season as it’s a poor league and if no embargo would have pissed the league. Next season will be harder with better teams dropping down or coming up but with attendances over 11K per game back on the right track and fan/club unity at a high (and finally brought the ground from the council (50/50 between supporters trust and club) and being redeveloped.

Just curious as to why you think this ?

MK Dons, I get. Tried to move thinking they'd get more fans in a town with no team

I’ve posted this a few times but essentially it’s the way they climbed the leagues at others expense, treated non league like rubbish and especially the way they conspired with Chelsea to leave Kingstonian (one of my local non league teams) homeless, the club who helped AFC make a home when they were reformed. Utter hypocrisy and betrayed those who helped them reestablish as a club.

Cheers.

I didn't know all that.
 
I'm a lot more interested than I thought I'd be.

Would love to see Luton go up. If not them then Forest.
Argyle v Sunderland is a huge game about to kick off at 3pm on Sky. Got loads of Argyle supporting mates so keen for them to go up.
Would like to see Stevenage stay up as local interest but to be honest they've been taking the piss now for many years and probably deserve to go down.

Yep they always have big numbers in their away ends. Well supported as they have a large catchment. They do travel well but reality is that for the midweekers a lot of their support comes from London/South east based fans.

If Luton go up, couldn't it be worked to give them an exemption to have artificial grass....would be a throwback to their last stint in the top flight. For whatever reason that, more than anything else, is what Luton reminds me of.

I remember the quality of your plastic pitches in that era. Still have the scars on my knees!
