That’s rarely been the case with our top flight relegations over the past 70 years.
In 1954/55, we scored 74 (Rowley, in large part) yet conceded 86. In 2003/4, with American horseback TV cop McCahill newly installed as Chairman, we flirted with survival for much of the season until a disastrous one point in five games in April did for our plucky pensioners. And then there was 1968/69, when six games in 21 days, including the Cup Final, combined with shenanigans up the wrong end of the M69 to send an a talented team through the trapdoor.
This season every other club in the mire has twisted with their manager except us. We‘ve stuck knowing that we’ve mixed it with the BCCs in recent times, and still have a squad talented enough to get us to 14th place (indeed, comfortably higher if you’re absolutely mental/on the pills). Which, given the above, would make relegation this season, the most avoidable, and excruciatingly painful, top flight exit in any of our lifetimes.
