-The (almost) local P'Boro local certain for the drip.
Then it is two out of three Reading Barnsley and Derby
All those 3 being bigger clubs than what you will find for much of L1. Whether Derby will bounce straight back, or fester like us Weds, S'Land, Pompey will have to be seen.
I doubt our away fans will miss Wigan, but it could be Exeter, B Rovers and Forest Green coming up........ a few miles on the clock. |  | | |  |

Speaking of Peterborough , I wonder where Darren Ferguson will re-surface. |  | | |

"All those 3 being bigger clubs than what you will find for much of L1." Please show your working there.
Rotherham, Wigan, MK Dons, Sheff Wed, Sunderland, Oxford, Portsmouth, Bolton, Charlton, AFC Wimbledon, Crewe, Ipswich might all argue against you. Any club playing in League 1 will be in League 1 due to how they have been performing. You could argue that is not the full story for Derby but I don't think they are a nailed on automatic promotion side next season any more than Sunderland and Portsmouth have been each season they have been at this level. |  |

Whoever comes down isn't gonna make the division any easier really.
The gap between League One and the Championship is bigger than it probably ever has been, so hardly surprising to see Peterborough coming straight back down. | | | |

Hmmm - a close look at the top half of the championship shows many recent division 3 residents. | |

Not many, and if they managed to stay up the first season then yes. But I think we are going to regularly see 2 of the promoted teams getting relegated | | | |

Reading? Are we really now citing Reading as a "big" club (I know that's not quite what you said but the implication seems there).
This is the honours history for Reading:
League competitions
English 2nd tier
Winners (2): 2006, 2012
Runners Up (1): 1995
English 3rd tier
Winners (3): 1926, 1986, 1994
Runners Up (5): 1932, 1935, 1949, 1952, 2002
English 4th tier
Winners (1): 1979
Highest league finish
Premier League 2007, 8th Place
Cup competitions
FA Cup
Semi-final: 1927, 2015
Quarter-final: 1901, 2010, 2011, 2016
EFL Cup
Quarter-final: 1996, 1998
Full Members Cup
Winners (1): 1988
London War Cup
Winners (1): 1941
Football League Third Division South Cup
Winners (1): 1938
I imagine they have spent most of their time in the 3rd tier so assuming they get relegated for Reading football is coming home. |  |

Reading avoiding defeat yesterday makes them favourites to stay up. 5pts ahead with 7 games left. Derby need a miracle. If Reading were to go down they could be the next basket case. Every chance of a second points deduction. Could be a couple more points deductions in the Championship next year as well.
League 2 is ridiculous. 5 points between 3rs and 11th, with the teams in 9th-11th having a game in hand.
Forest Green, Bristol Rovers, Newport and Exeter/Swindon (along with cheltenham) would help with some local trips for me (tickets permitting).
As I learned the hard way, Plymouth isn't local to anywhere! |  |
