Get rid of Crawley, promote Borehamwood so you lot get to appreciate what tinpot actually is.
We're already aware of how tinpot Borehamwood are

We accused them of having trashed the away dressing room after a tense game at Brunton Park in which we scored two last minute goals to overturn a 2-1 deficit. There were ugly scenes throughout and then following the game, and though no formal allegation was made, there were rumours that some of our players felt BHW players had made racist remarks during the game. (by the way, Notts fans, Liam Noble was at the heart of the melee and had to be dragged off the pitch).

BHW's 'response'

followed by:
http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/carlis...aten-carlisle-utd-with-legal-action-1.1100121

Despite their response being hilarious, they were some of the most displeasurable scenes I've seen on a football pitch, would rather not have to play that shower ever again.

Also, the national media naturally portrayed all this as 'cosy little family club shafted by big bad professional outfit'

Gateshead , then they can leave the league again a proper way instead of going on about the injustice of '59 .... They conveniently forget they were never asked to join in the first place, they were the MK Dons of thier time

The current Gateshead FC aren't even the same Gateshead that had their re-election rejected are they? They were formed in 1977.

Moving to the opposite side of a colliery, in what most would consider the same city, isn't quite MKeysian in my book.

On the other hand, the club were such a shambles that the scum up the A1 got voted in for them. That takes some real doing.

Anyway, they've a chequered past but would add nothing to the league except a half decent night out. That said, watching them batter each other (and I don't mean in the football fan sense but the actual violent geordie sense - skulls on concrete etc) in the home end when we last played there has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a football ground!

Let em in!

Club I want down here is without doubt the Pish. Division 4 is their natural level so the sooner they come down the better for the sake of football in general.

I would like to see Halifax come up from the vananarama as they have the best ground down there, and they're also 'kind of' my second team as I always take an interest in what's happening at The Shay. However, it's unlikely they'll come up, and in that case, I'd want one of the ex-league clubs back up.

Halifax have the second worst pitch in the conference and had to play some games elsewhere. Have no desire to see us play on their sandpit for a good while.

Nearly but not quite right my little Poolie friend. South Shields FC moved to Gateshead 8 miles up the road in the hope of gaining more fans as they were in financial difficulties. It didn't work and they folded shortly afterwards. A new club, Gateshead FC was was formed following their demise. The current Gateshead was formed in 1977, and this is what most Heed fans believe, has no Football League history. What we hanker for and would dearly like to see is for league football to be played in Gateshead again.

Braintrees is pretty bad but Halifax's is just mud and sand. Never seen anything like it.

In keeping with the thread:
Coming up: Kiddy for their food.
Going down: Luton, for the lolz.

There was a brilliant picture of the pitch when Cambridge played there 3 years back.

EDIT - At Braintree.

Yeah, Braintree was really another level of bad pitch the season before last.

Remember they were a promising promotion candidate but played half a season in about six weeks because of their pitch!

Cheltenham as it's not far from me.
Torquay for their fans who applauded us when we stayed up on the last day of the season by winning 3-0 at their place in 2014.

Telford United in the league would be fun! :)

I don't want us to get relegated so I won't factor them into my calculations. Of the 90 valid league clubs left, it wouldn't be overly fair to say I would 'want' any of them to go down. If I had to choose one - Crawley.

On a separate note - I would also like to send Newport; Wrexham; Swansea and Cardiff into the Welsh League.

I'd love to see Lowestoft in the Conference. In a half decent stadium and as a fortress like East Anglian outpost.
