I'll send him a copy of Six Years In Purgatory for his information.

Well, exactly.

Wrexham have been in NL for at least a decade.
Anyone who thinks the NL is walk in the park is an idiot

Not for much longer with the Hollywood millions firing them into Europe, or maybe not!

Stockport.

Stockport.

Yep, came down with us in 2011. Fancy them to get back this year though.

They may well. In that time they've been in the NL what, 3 seasons? A long sojourn in the NLN in between. Puts our purgatory in the shade!

Incredibly, Wrexham went down as far back as 2008. Among their opponents in their first Conference season were Histon, Grays Athletic, Eastbourne Borough and Lewes. The balance of power can change in the blink of an eye.

I think Southend will go the way of Barnet, who if promotion and relegation from the National League, North and South is allowed will be in the South bit next season

 

[Long suffering Imp]

If the fish do go down, I hope they do get back, but certainly not until the other ex league clubs have returned, they've done their sentence. I wonder if Grimsby eventually spend as many years in non league as they did in tier 2 during their blip whether their fans will still go around with their heads up their own arse proclaiming to be a big club.? Rhetorical question, I already know the answer.

 

[DonnyImp]

Could be further away from their 'real' rivals, Hull and the Sheffield clubs?!

 

[NottyImp]

No, full-on non-league oblivion for me. It's the only way to be sure.

Thrashed us, at Sincil Bank, in their last League game.

In my memory that game has been set adrift and for some reason I always think of it as happening just 12 months before we were relegated.

It felt like a slow relegation from Jacko's illness in 2008-11

Think Wrexham are now the longest serving members of the National League. It’s sad to see so many traditional clubs languishing in non league. So glad our nightmare is over and hopefully for good.

Like bankruptcy, relegation happens slowly then all at once.

 

[The Electric Banana]

Wrexham have been in NL for at least a decade.

I believe its 12/13 seasons.

 

[nlondonimp]

i see tisdale is now at colchester, helping out for the last few games. he was a close rival to the cowleys not so long ago. success at one club, management career in jeopardy right now?

Oh, and this:

"I think Southend is a top League One, lower Championship club, potentially."

Historically I would suggest they are more realistically top half div4 bottom half div3. Over half the seasons they have been a football league side they have been in the lowest league. Similar to ourselves.

Unfortunately, because they had a total in their history of about 6 seasons in the second tier, many of their supporters and it seems their chairman get a little deluded.
