  1. I dont follow soccer here either so I didnt know that. Finishing first usually means you are the best team in the league. I follow hockey and to me being first overall in the regular season doesn't mean much. A lot of times the best team doesn't win it all. If English soccer had a playoff system maybe some of the lower teams might have a chance of a championship.

    But then what's the point of playing out an entire league campaign, managing to finish first only for it to mean nothing?

  2. I am so glad that when we (Leicester) went into administration we weren't docked anything as that rule didnt exist then, it allowed us to get promoted to the Premier League. Oh well we got our just desserts >_> I hope Darlington will get it together - I don't know much about how the club's finances got so bad but would I be far off by suggesting its partly due to the new stadium? That seems to get every club nowadays.

    You've pretty much got it in one. Massive stadium's running costs + shite attendances = running at a loss for god knows how long. We all knew the club had been losing money since like, forever, but administration was still a shock just because of the suddenness of it all. Usually with clubs going into admin you hear noises about stuff like people not getting paid and stuff for a few months beforehand, or at least some indication that it might happen, whereas ours happened literally overnight.
