General Consortium Takeover - News and Rumours

Notts County. They were in the top flight more recently than us (relegated the year before the Premier League was formed).

Stockport County fans may also be able to say that, they fell a hell of a long way at one point.

Yes! Notts County, good spot. Don Masson, Don Givens, Rachid Harkouk - isn't it? Marvellous!

Edit: yes Stockport have been in five, inc Conference North - as have York City and Hereford. York and Hereford played Chelsea in the league in about 1975. Older Wycombe fans could probably have said it too, apart from no one saw them in the championship! Ha ha!!

Oldham yes, but I think Southend will just be 4 divisions? Or have they made the top flight?

Oh of course, forgot they were already in the Conference and struggling down there!

Wimbledon is two different clubs though, so it’s different to us, Luton etc.

Whatevs. Smack my bum! I'm actually bantering with a mod so probably will escape sanction.

Any news?

Except we have been taken over on paper and there is no news about the Theatre of Dreams (South)............

 

[Northernyellow]

Makes me realise how lucky I`ve been.

From Division 1 (Premier League) yes kids football actually existed before the trough of greed, to the Conference and several trips to the old & new Wembley.

Maybe we are going on another journey...........................................

Wigan Athletic. Came up from what was then called the Alliance Premier into the old Division 4 in the late 1970's

Like Ian Lenagan’s Five Year Plan to get us in the Championship and owning our own ground you mean?

... that too

 

[bazzer9461]

The problem with that he was saying that every season he was here so not “ well that’s the 1st year plan out of the way, 4 more to go “

I don’t think it takes this long to undertake the fit and proper persons test. Robinson said he thought it was at that stage but perhaps its not?
