World rankings released show that we have dropped 7 places to 52 in the world.

Muckems have risen 80 places (on the back of a fortunate promotion from the third tier) to 339 in the world.

In other words they are 287 places behind.

Next season when they are battling the drop from the Fizzy and we are pushing for a European place that 287 places will have stretched enormously me thinks.
