Pete Wild is correct. Teams like yeovil, stevenage, rushden and some others l cant be arsed to remember doin double promotions fits within the theory.

But then until three years ago I watched a lot of conf South and although the overall games weren't great there were many players who were much better than L2. Just from my local side three made it to PL level, several more to Championship and loads to L1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them refer (mockingly..) to documentaries about lower league clubs at the time. Watched these two about Chester and Doncaster. While their stories aren't identical to ours, there's a lot of concerning similarities: They Think It's All Rovers - YouTube Chester City: An American Dream documentary (2000) - YouTube I am also currently binge listening to this podcast. It's brilliant, hilarious and reminds me of how great the nineties were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsworth blue Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 A good outcome for me this season would be ON THE PITCH (1) Th club achieving a higher league position than the previous season for the first time in years (2) The club winning more games than losing (3) The club tying up Bahamboula on a contract for 2021/22 and beyond with a realistic minimum fee release clause (say £750,000) (4) The club not sacking Harry Kewell this season and letting him continue coaching the team without significant adverse interference OFF THE PITCH (1) The club to come to an agreement to have the North Stand and its facilities pretty much fully operational and available to supporters for use in 2021/22 (2) The club to continue improvement of its image within the community (* looks like significant progress from what I can see) (3) The club to build a solid foundation from which it can build a stable sustainable club in the future and one that can have the right building blocks in place to develop and nurture its younger players so that they can once again start to form a significant portion of the first team squad and attract envious eyes from elsewhere in football I do not believe the above is too much to ask - possible On the pitch number 2 may be a bit of a stretch. I believe this would represent a good outcome for the club this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Banks, Zone 3 Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 On 2/2/2021 at 2:38 PM, Mr Banks, Zone 3 said: As the lack of any meaningful activity yesterday would suggest that promotion is not a realistic objective for this season, what would you now regard as a good outcome for this campaign? Personally, I'd now be relatively happy with a top half finish (above Bolton and, even better, Salford), HK having been the first Latics manager to have lasted an entire season since Herbert Bamlett (= a bit of consistency at last) and some kind of honest statement of intent on how we're going to try to get out of this division next season. Realistically, I know I might have to settle for just one or two of those. When I started this thread at the start of last month my ambitions were fairly unambitious, but I felt they, at least some of them, were realistic. I'd have settled for just keeping HK in place for the whole season, just to build some kind of consistency - I suppose his home form in the end made his position untenable, but his away form proved he must have been doing something right, i.e. that there was something to work with. This is all so demoralising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
