Just to throw this out there, I’m not massively bothered if we get relegated, I will buy a season ticket and be there watching us in l2 as I would if we stay up. Maybe that’s why I’m not quite in the panic that some have been since xmas. But just to forewarn u, when (not if) we do stay up, no one will be sleepwalking anywhere on here, as I will be in positivity overdrive at the lessons to be learned from having a little faith.

Whilst it’s certainly better to be relegated into League 2 than out of it, let’s not delude ourselves that it would be a move we can just laugh off.
It took us six seasons to get promoted back to League 1 after 2010 after a 16 year spell outside the third tier. You can wave goodbye to Rothwell and Ledson, trying to sign players of their ilk will become more difficult, paying the £500k rent when attendances fall gets trickier, progression in cups and therefore vital revenue streams is made harder and the relegation trapdoor out of League 2 is an abyss.
I like it in League 1 and want to stay here. Relegation wouldn’t be a disaster but we know how difficult it can be to get out of League 2. There are far, far more perks to staying up than enjoying visits to Crawley and Lincoln.
