    Our form in the World Cup years

    When you think about it, we have a bad record of relegations and/or struggles in a World Cup year.
    As well as this one in '18 we also went down in '98, '02, & '14, and we only just stayed up in both '90 & '94.
    Why is this I wonder ?.

    Why you've done it again Holmes (Sherlock), why didn't everybody else think of that.

    There are some exceptions to this though, most notably in '06 when we went up on pens against Swanny. But I find it odd that most of our poorest seasons are in a World Cup year.

    We finished 15th in the old 4th division in 1966 would be a good exception .

    And in '82 as well I suppose, which was our first season back in what has now become the Champship. I think we finished 6th and were up with the top 3 for most of the season.
