Last season 9 mins from the Champs, next season Div 2 football.
At least a derby with Darlington to look forward to....

Not at all!!! Still, no-one to blame but themselves. I said this last season as well, but they are a small club with a small club mentality Last season 9 mins from the Champs, next season Div 2 football.

I presume not investing in the team after they came so close last season? Its all relative really. Had they come up last year who knows? Maybe they could have been where Luton are now. As it is they aren't!

The problem for Pool is the geography. Close proximity to Sunderland and Newcastle means most locals will follow one of them. Even when doing well they only got about 5000 turning up. As a Leeds fan I know that chasing a dream doesn't always work but they got rid of a good manager in Neil Cooper who almost got them promoted last season because of the financial restrictions. If they could have bullt on last season they would have stayed up for sure this season Not at all!!! Still, no-one to blame but themselves.

As it is they aren't! Aaaahhh the 'g' word! Its exam season. I suppose Darlington have similar problems. They had big ambitions and a huge ground but like you say Newcastle, Sunderland and Boro suck in all the support. I think you are probably right! It may take a while for them to recover now.

Good point mate. Darlo are another example. Difference there is that their chairman had grand ideas and ambitions, then he was done for fraud and is now in prison!!

He had grand ideas and ambitions but they were just above Darlington's station. There was no way they were just going to fill a 20 000 seater stadium overnight and make money for it. It takes time to build these kind of things and league 2 is not the place! Didn't know their chairman was in prison though. lol
