Crawley and Sutton.

Hard to believe they are both in the football league.

Notts County and Oldham would have sounded so much better!

A well run Notts County would be able to be 16th in Tier 2. Oldham Athletic were founder members of the Premier League. Sc­unthorpe United have had 3 England captains playing for them. I lament such demise and several other examples.

Nevertheless when relegation from Tier 4 with the accompanying promotion from Tier 5 occurred it made the entire football
pyramid almost down to Sunday League a meritocracy.

In the early 1970s I could not have envisaged Morecambe being a division above Carlisle United.

We sometimes think that xxxxxxxx xxxxx is not fit to be in the EFL because it is not really a football town, there are low attendances and the football club does not get into the local soul. But the reality nowadays is that if a 'local lad made good' is prepared to indefinitely pour money into such a club it will remain in the EFL.

The crazy situation is that there is 'football inflation' that is greater than the ability of Tiers 3 to 5 can rationally cope with. Yet the fan expects to pay no more over several consecutive seasons, especially when results are worse than mundane.

Are these the right number of xxxxxxxx xxxxx Stefan? Trying to work out who you mean 😀

No, not a particular team, just a representation of any team which has a name consisting of two words.
