He looks ecstatic.

Out of interest, are we the first team to go from winning League 2 to finishing bottom of it in the space of two years? Would be nice to have made some sort of history during our time in the EFL.

If he goes what are the odds Cotterill goes back to replace him? Even though he's said he's staying we all know his feelings for Cheltenham so not sure he'd be able to resist an offer.

The Isle of Sheppey is apparently known as the Costa Del Shit hole. Not been there myself but going by that not sure I'll be booking my next holiday there.

At least with Solihull Moors if they are coming up, it's post merger. Would have felt even more of a slap in the face if we'd been replaced in the EFL by Moor Green. Never liked them.

Come on now SoC if you want to consign all us tinpotters back to where we belong at least let us have a weekend in Southend to enjoy for a bit longer. Next best around there I've had before that in the Conference was Canvey Island....

Fleetwood and Salford down next year with Oldham and Rochdale up.

Commiserations to Sutton, had a real go at it in the end.

FGR v Notts 27/4 - DRAW please Oak

Are Altrincham still part time btw? They always used to make a big deal about that, and frown on any clubs that went full time in the Conference (which we first did in 05). If they are fair play to them for finishing that high up.

His name was Howard I think? Went to a few games by himself, the poor sod.

Yep. Wouldn't compare them to Leigh, Droylsden etc though. Bigger support, decent history and think they'd been at that level for years before they ran into financial problems. Were already in trouble before Mike Connett stepped in and destroyed them completely. Although at least they eventually...

Along with Lewes & Histon, I remember a few other very small clubs that got up to the Conference/National League down the years we were there. Leigh RMI, Droylsden, Farsley Celtic & North Ferriby spring to mind. Clubs that even made us look big (ish). Can't imagine any of them ever making the...

In my time supporting us, we've lost to Hayes, Yeading and Hayes & Yeading.
