League One 2022/23 confirmed clubs

[Devon_Lad]

Hang on, I reckon we could live stream a fight between them, it would of course be lots of slapping and hair pulling and they’d both bring their keyboards. But my word, it would be interesting.

You won't be around to see it, you can enjoy the likes of Chipmunk down in the other forum.

It might not be a good impression, but it's a pretty accurate one of his brand of rhetoric.

Not the first word I'd choose to describe you, but accurate nonetheless.

Can you imagine what it would be like if Halifax, Bolton and Exeter were all in the same division...don't think I need to say any more, some people will understand that...and some, fortunately for them, probably won't.

I only have three people on ignore...so I would miss all of it.

If this is what it's going to be like next season here then we better go up

We tried our best but even then we've stayed up!

We are definitely in League One next season, thanks to a point away at the Gas yesterday, and looking at the list ot the teams we will be joining there is an element of disbelief...some of these teams are huge, in terms of size, history and the challenge they will provide.

Around a decade ago we played Derby in the cup, when we were struggling somewhat in the Conference and they were in the Championship, it remains one of our "I was there games", and still holds the ground attendance record. On the day the atmosphere was amazing, it had a real David and Goliath feel, we gave them a really good game, it took a penalty late in the game for them to seal a 4-3 win...if you had told me back then that we would play them in the Football League one day I would have replied with a mixture of laughter and disbelief.

Then there is Bolton, a club we have a sort of link to, due to the shenanigans over their signing of Christian Doidge...who is now a key player for Hibernian...and the shambolic way that their club was being run at the time. Our Chairman isn't everyone's cup of tea, which is perhaps a bit of an understatement, but he managed to get involved in the row and stood the corner of the fans and players from their club. This is probably the game I am looking forward to the most, not a derby game or anything of the sort, but the atmospere around the games should be pretty friendly.

What can I say about the others, a couple stand out...there is the team from just up the road, who we haven't played that often and who many of our fans don't consider a rival...then the one from the flatlands in the east (not Cambridge) but those Impish folk, who we do consider a major rival (along bizarrely with Grimsby and Tranmere).

This season isn't quite finished, there are three games left to decide who claims the shiny trophy, but I'm now looking forward to the next one. See at least some of you soon.

Big welcome to FGR and Exeter. Always enjoyed visits to you. Also, you should liven up this forum, one way or another and that's a good thing.

Don't be too confident of a friendly atmosphere against Bolton. We've found them rather boorish. More than a few of their fans can struggle to maintain any civility after minimal alcohol consumption and their dear manager seems to want to do and say anything to try and gain an advantage is an eminent and exceptional and certified twat.

 

[The Globule]

and, of course, we now have the lancashire coast galacticos confirmed. Well done Fleetwood.

 

[SMH]

Can we stay for another year? We're going to get beat 90% of weeks next season and the Championship forum is dead.

No doubt it will be tough but at least Hull and Blackpool have showed that it's not impossible to compete if you can get the recruitment right.
I am assuming that your budget is a fair bit higher than ours so any players we both fancy will no doubt head your way.

Apparently our average wage was £3600 a week in our last season in the Championship. Obviously there will be some on around £5000 with the squad players on £2000ish.
All the contracts had relegation clauses in them so this season they will have been on less money but with a bonus for promotion and winning the Papa John cup I would think the budget will have finished up being around the same.

Plus the players are all off to Vegas paid for by the club, a well deserved thank you for their efforts.

I doubt we will push the boat out too far because Tony Stewart runs a tight ship and having experienced 2 admins before he took over, he won't allow us to get into trouble.

Our lads are off to Vegas as well, suspect they'll link up with your lot for a beer all together at some point.

Shinnie's panicking on IG because he needs a PCR test with same day results for tomorrow.

It is odd, the noisier fans (South Stand) sing a song about Cheltenham...I've only been following Rovers for about fifteen years or so, having moved here from elsewhere and wanting to go and watch non-league football, but back then it was sung about Gloucester...go figure!

Traditionally our rival is Shortwood, or maybe Gloucester, but in the last few years we were in the National League most of the games that really mattered seemed to be against Grimsby, Lincoln or Tranmere...hence the feeling that they are real rivals whereas most of the League teams in the local area aren't.

I'm really hoping that at least a couple from Exeter, Bristol Rovers, Swindon and Newport get promoted with us, to increase the representation of the West Country (plus nearby Wales) in League One next season...that could make things at least a little bit interesting.

Surely you lot don't see us as rivals now, above any local EFL sides?! Our rivalry was only for one season!

 

[Railway Blue]

Bollocks to that, they’re just very good at shithousing.

Stupid comment.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

I'd say not. Not at all, even. Tranmere, sure, there is a bit of needle there.

With the teams that have come up and those that have left us I think we've saved about 1500 odd miles in travel next season

and to think you could yet be the beneficiaries of an unprecedented West Country quadruple, if Swindon make it too.

 

[Trapdoor]

Just rename this forum League One Southern Division please.

Quite like the idea of Plymouth being happy to have an away day 160 miles away….!

Yeah it’s not bad. Just need Sunderland to go up but any of the League 2 teams are reasonably south. Northampton would be a wonderful addition to the league for us to go with Ipswich, Peterborough and MK Dons. ;-)
