League 1 & League 2 thread 2017/2018

[StanSP]

hate that phrase which the commentator just mentioned 'they should not be in this league'. well, they are and have been. They haven't even got a promotion since 1970. They don't seem to mention that much

 

Two good goals, though, regardless of it being Coventry!

Their “ground” is pretty shit. Highfield Road was class but, more importantly, actually in Coventry.

The ground is in Coventry though. Bit out the way but only a 10 minute drive from highfield road

The commentators are licking the Coventry bag without any shame.

It's miles out from the centre, in a shopping centre with no pubs anywhere near it.

 

It's basically the equivalent of Leicester building a new ground at Fosse Park- it would be horrendous.

Apparently that's Cov's first promotion since 1967!

They deserved to win but all this talk about having no hope for years- weren't they top of League One well into the season a couple of years ago?

"And League 1 beckons for Coventry City!"

Who can blame them for celebrating their first promotion in 51 years?

Its up there with 'back where (team name) belong'. Heard one of Fulham players say it re: premier league, a bit of a joke considering they've been in the top flight for less than 20% of their history. Also, keep hearing it when any of Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea qualify for the Champs League. How do 5 times belong to a competition when only 4 teams qualify for it most of the time?

Paul Tisdale has left Exeter City, possibly off to MK Dons?

 

Jim Bentley is now the longest serving manager in England.
