In 2000 shortly after I got into football, I heard that Oldham used to play in the Premiership - hard to believe it at the time because then they were just a mediocre second division (1992-2004 term) club. Actually that year I saw a behind-the-scenes football documentary which showed the away...

I’ve been following the League 2 relegation battle with some interest, mainly because it features an ex-Premier League side (they did some impressive things in the 1970s-90s, a bit like us between getting promoted to the second tier in 1979 and being relegated from it in 1996, but sadly never...

I’m surprised there wasn’t any real criticism last season when you went down seemingly without pride or a fight, losing one six-pointer/winnable game after another. The only reasons I can think of for that were that he was new and the problems were more deep-seated. Now, the only reason I can...

That's a relief, so bar a big collapse from one team it doesn't look like a "brother" is going down.

The BBC are showing it as four relegation places - if that's the case, it's going to take a helluva points to stay up the way things are going, could be as much as 55-56.

Ah well, hopefully York will get 90+ points and that will be enough to win the league, if not they'll win the play-offs, first decent season their long-suffering fans have had in ages and they more than deserve success.

Funny how King's Lynn seem to have come into the NLN title race out of nowhere, having been reformed as recently as 2010 and promoted from the Southern Premier only last season with actually fewer points per game than they are enjoying now. Are they another of those money-backed teams or is it...

This seems to be a pattern here, at least in the last two seasons. When a team comes up from the Conference and does well, there’s always a handful of fans who don’t like their style of football that have to make snide comments whatever happens. If the team loses in the play-offs, you get...

That's pretty bold thinking for a club that has only achieved two play-off and countless bottom half finishes in the third tier in over twenty years. The Bournemouth of the north maybe?

Well done Woking, deserved to go up for running Torquay so close, and the warm welcome you gave us at Kingfield and your continued good luck wishes throughout our FA Cup run. As for us, very disappointing end to the season. I imagine Wolves aren't sweating much about their Europa League place...

Do you think they're going to be another Gretna FC? Apart from them, I can't remember a promoted team getting as much dislike as Salford have today.

I think many fans of lower and non-league clubs would rejoice if at this late stage the Football League after much heavy scrutiny discovered something wrong with these clubs that made both of them ineligible for promotion, regardless of today's result, and let Notts County keep their rightful...

Cambridge might have enough incentive to go for the win if they care enough about who they're playing next season. And with due respect to Macclesfield, who would most fans rather have in the Football League, them or Notts? Problems are though: (1) They may not think that way because most...

He has a point, Oxford looked like real relegation candidates for most of the season (not like Burton and Coventry) then all of a sudden it seemed they were safe, it’s an impressive turnaround. They need to really establish themselves in this division after so many years of underachievement and...

Weird and also sad the way his career's turned out, worked at some of the biggest clubs in Europe, and did a miracle job in keeping Swansea up and I felt was hard done by getting the boot there. I suppose though long-term he's assistant manager material at best.
