oafcprozac Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We're the only team in the entire 72 team Football League that hasn't witnessed a promotion or a relegation since we lost our Championship Status in 1997, that's a helluva sobering thought….are we fast becoming the new Rochdale?

JohnnyPimp Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd rather keep it at no relegations too, if you don't mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'd rather keep it at no relegations too, if you don't mind! This is a fair point how many times have we had a relegation in the last 40 years is it 2? 94 and 97 Seems like we tend to not move around the divisions alot and we can fight relegation battles but not promotion battles. We are the polar opposite of West Brom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If its any further consolation Coventry City have gone alot longer than us without witnessing a promotion it must have been the 60's when they got their last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Theyve been in the top flight since the end of the 1st world war officially I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysablue Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 id take relegation if it meant we'd have a promotion next season. even if its back into this dire league. trouble is if we were relegated im not so sure we'd make it back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deckyd Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Didnt think we would get anything from last two games, we beat Tranmere i can see us getting a point at County and sneaking a win against Charlton at home, they are not quite as bad as Latics at the minute but they are getting there. Would 53 points keep us up?? Edited March 22, 2011 by deckyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) I can just see it now - Latics go 15 points clear after a 2012 Boxing Day thrashing of Rochdale. Taylor scoring his 20th goal of the campaign. And then the :censored:ing Mayan's prediction comes true. We'll never see promotion again.

Latics4Ever Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 When did Arsenal last get promoted?!! 1919 - Although they have never actually 'won' promotion. They finished 5th in Division 2 when the League was suspended at the start of World War 1. When the League's resumed, Arsenal's chairman allegedly bribed the league to allow them into the top flight at the expense of the other clubs who had finished above them, including Spurs! Rumour has it that their chairman bribed, coerced or unduly influenced the voting members of the Football League, including the League Chairman!

Hometownclub Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 We are in a seriously bad way at the moment, there's no doubt about it, we can't score and we can't keep a clean sheet, which is a lethal combination. A few weeks ago when we were dropping like a stone I thought there is no way we will get dragged into the relegation scrap, we just need a win and a couple of draws. I looked at the fixture list and thought we had realistically 2 winnable matches left this season which were Tranmere and Walsall at home, at the time I felt we must still have enough to beat these 2 at home. Now I'm not sure, I certainly wouldn't want to back us to beat anyone anywhere currently. I think Bristol Rovers won only 2 in 13 under Penney, but they managed to beat us. I also read that Sheff Wed had won only 2 in 11 under Magson, but they managed to beat us. Colchester have been on a disasterous run of form (not as bad as us, obviously), but they managed to beat us. I am now very seriously worried as what I thought would be 3 points against Tranmere seems a much more difficult proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddogs Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Got to laugh no matter what team it is,how :censored: they are,no wins in so many,managers first game in charge etc Latics always lose to that team anyway onwards and downwards,keep believing and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
