They've spent more of their life as a club in the top flight than out of it. I'm not a big fan of the living-in-the-past Forest fans, but Nottingham is a big enough city to deserve at least one club in the Premier League. As is Bristol of course. I agree and wonder why it’s taking so long for you to get in the premiership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone interested Grimsby hold the record of clubs waiting longest to get back to Div 1. City took 65 years, Grimsby were relegated from Div 1 in 1948; 74 years ago. Will today be a steping stone for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 2-1 Grimsby. Seemed to of lost their way half way through the season. But have come back well and have faced 3 extra times in these play offs. Towler played his part and will be happy for them no doubt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 From a Grimsby supporting friend Division 2 next season, now we can play proper teams such as Sutton United, Crawley Town and Salford City instead of Notts County, Wrexham Halifax and Chesterfield. I can see record crowds already 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Green and Morecambe two divisions above Oldham and Notts County is pretty insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper clearly understands how to manage players that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby v Scunny rather than Grimsby v Crawley Whenever this comes up I always think would not East/West be better? With the road network in this country I`m sure Swindon would rather travel to Salford than Gillingham and Grimsby would sooner go to Cambridge than Carlisle.

Short of going to four regional divisions of twelve (which I don`t think anyone would want) there always will be, My point was more about the motorway network in England making it easier (if sometimes further) to go north/south rather than east/west.
