You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 It should have been in 2001 / 02 What f*ckery kept them up that year then? Lincoln debt? Teams stadium infested with rats and failed the h&s test so couldn't be allowed into the league? Chips too hot so team got deducted points?

Season after was 2 I think... The next season we had to play someone in a qualifying game to gain acces to the carling cup first round, and lost.. Good times...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Of course we will be 'obsessed' it's the closest Rovers have got to being in the conference for ages now. As rivals it would be stupid not to look out for results and fixtures. Just like they would/were doing to us last season and the season before We thrive off the others failures.

Port Said Red Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 4 teams out of 24 are at a higher level now Orient Shrewsbury Hull Swansea 5 - Carlisle (only just mind you) I noticed the other day how many teams that were in the league have dropped as low as the Conference North/South level. Boston Barrow Bradford Park Avenue Stockport! Workington (who look doomed to go even lower, wherever that might be!) I think Stockport County is a really shocking one, it doesn't seem that long ago that we were playing them reasonably regularly, now they are just above the relegation zone of the Conference North.
