Time spent by ex-league clubs in the 5th tier

Almost all got out in 5 seasons or less, so by that yardstick we ought to be back in the FL by 2024/25 at the latest.
Will be a shocker if we take longer than Mansfield (who took 5).

Looking at the bottom of tier 4, we're likely to get two more traditional names dropping down as it stands. Makes the fixture list a little less depressing but doesn't make it any easier to get out.

Has the 5th division ever been as competitive as this season? I doubt it very much. Three clubs spending big to try to get out, one of them bankrolled by a Hollywood superstar (and over 9k at the game last night). Yet again, we have picked the very worst time to be at a low ebb.

This is nothing new. Every time we drop a level or stagnate, more and more clubs get bigger and better than us.
