I was just talking about this with Albert on another thread (the Womens world cup thread), so I thought Id start a new thread about it because Im also excited about the upcoing fixtures and the new season.

The first season straight after a promotion can sometimes prove to be a good one, a bit of a 'surprise' or two of course, and thats exactly what we did this time 3 years ago when coming back up to this level. Im under no illusions though about how different this league has become now, in what we used to think was our level in the old English Second Division.

All the usual runners and riders will be up there, Leeds & Derby again of course, and the 3 who came down from this season as well. And then you've got the other so called big teams who keep under achieving, like Notts Forest, Sheff Wensdy, QP.Rangers, & Birmingham lol.
