Football League status brings with it a level of kudos not to mention the financial rewards. Our football league place was hard won and we've done remarkably well to continually punch above our weight to retain it. Let's not give it up as I fear, if we do, if will be a long time before we get near getting it back

This is the whole point though isn't it. We got better gates in the BSP before promotion, I won't comment about the money due to the regime that was in place then. But as LancsDave states, we would possibly be better off. It took the club 40 odd years to regain league status, I somehow don't think it will be that long again if we got relegated. Yes it is a constant struggle for the club. Certainly I had high hope for this season, however with the snake now gone, Leam is the boss, I know, I have actually called for some assistance to him, yet look at who is in the club now. The ex-assistant to Lee Clark when he was manager at a successful Huddersfield. Give Leam a chance to turn it round, but if we go down it is not the disaster you paint. I remember when team such as York were playing BSP when they had been in the league for such a long time, yet we played them and beat them. We can certainly do it again if we have too.
