Vital Champions League
Would be good to see some of the more local teams survive at the expense of some of the northern teams, especially seeing as League 2's promotion candidates are for the most part not particularly local. Also likely to lose Luton and potentially Portsmouth and/or Charlton.
Bradford, Rochdale, Scunthorpe and Accrington to go down? And Rotherham to escape the Championship relegation zone at the expense of Millwall, QPR or Reading.
As you say, madrid, would be good, for Gills fans, to see more local teams stay in L1, but, I fear that the prognosis is more likely tilted in the opposite direction. Gills have had several seasons of being geographically disadvantaged, could well be another, more severe, one coming up.
Championship: coming down - Ipswich, which is the only positive for Gills. Then, Bolton, for sure; and either Rotherham or, IMO, Wigan - who have a very difficult end of season schedule.
L1 Upward: One southern club, at least (Luton) and a fair possibility of losing another two - Pompey & Charlton.
L1 Downward: Bradford, deffo. But keep a close eye on Wimbledon and nose-diving Southend and Wycombe. Rochdale may escape at their expense.
L2 Upward: Lincoln, then probably, three from the following four - Mansfield, MK Dons, Bury & Tranmere.
We`ll soon see how it all unfolds but, a net increase in mileage seems more likely than a net decrease !
