Leicfox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Blackpool I second that. The going on's at that club is absolutely unbelievable.
lavrentis Posted 19 April 2015 Author Posted 19 April 2015 Again, how are Sheffield Wednesday a disaster? They're just in the second tier. I think some of you are missing the jist of the thread. Portsmouth are an absolute train wreck, Wimbledon ceased to exist, Parma have gone from European football to the verge of non existence. These are all disasters. Some of the examples in this thread are just clubs that are from big-ish towns that have been relegated. Finnegan understands.
Guest Bilo Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I second that. The going on's at that club is absolutely unbelievable. League Two this time next year, surely. Apparently, there are plenty of fans going to watch AFC Blackpool instead. Watch this space I reckon.
ramboacdc Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 dont know if relevant to the topic but what ever happened to hereford? did they survive?
purpleronnie Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 dont know if relevant to the topic but what ever happened to hereford? did they survive? No they are reforming as Hereford FC, they have managed to obtain a lease for edgar street, Peter Beadle is their new manager, they have sold around 600 season tickets despite not knowing what league they will be placed in.
ScouseFox Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 both Milan sides are looking pretty disastrous of late. from fighting over european cups to fighting over 9th and 10th place in serie a. :knockynotnice:
ousefox Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 Didn't realise Stockport were in the conference north! Just assumed they were still in league 2 as you would always expect them to be.
Dan Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 Sheffield Wednesday aren't a disaster but they're pretty ****ing boring. They're like us in 2004-2008.
Jordan Posted 20 April 2015 Posted 20 April 2015 They're a bit of a mare considering what Clough built. A club accustomed to top flight football that was able to regroup within 12 months, finish third in the Premiership a year after promotion and make the UEFA Cup quarter-finals a year after and then just.... nothing. They fell so far so quickly in the late 90s and have never really recovered. If anything, they're now a weaker club than the one Clough actually took over back in the 1970s with no realistic promotion challenges for four years and no top flight football for fifteen. Even for a club of Forest's size, that's massive underachievement. You look at similarly sized clubs such as Ipswich and Norwich and they've been in a much healthier state in recent years. Oh, and another one to throw in. Sheffield Wednesday. Huge stadium and fanbase, achieved nothing for decades. I don't think Forest's dip in fortunes are anywhere near as much of a reflection of a "disaster" than they are a reflection of how much football (and the business side of the sport) began to change in the early 1990s.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2015 Posted 21 April 2015 Leeds This thread is titled 'disasters'
purpleronnie Posted 21 April 2015 Posted 21 April 2015 This thread is titled 'disasters' Given they were in the top 4 in the Premiership and in the semi final of the Champions league in 2001 and just a few years later were in the 3rd tier would constitute a disaster.
lavrentis Posted 21 April 2015 Author Posted 21 April 2015 Purple Ronnie as thread master, I accept Leeds
Captain... Posted 21 April 2015 Posted 21 April 2015 Luton, went from league cup winners and top flight football to non league pretty damn quick. Cambridge are another who were on the verge of the Prem and dropped away into non league.
MC Prussian Posted 21 April 2015 Posted 21 April 2015 Got to mention Scarborough here - although the club has ceased to exist a while ago.
Rocket-Ron Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Gretne http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretna_F.C. And weren't Peterhead not threatening glasgows Scottish domination at one stage?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 24 April 2015 Posted 24 April 2015 Given they were in the top 4 in the Premiership and in the semi final of the Champions league in 2001 and just a few years later were in the 3rd tier would constitute a disaster. But its not a disaster as it couldn't happen to a scummier bunch of fans.
