League One Clowns - Where Are They Now?


The Situation said:
Given how well we are doing, it's a good time to check in and see how the clubs and fanbases that went on like complete and utter idiots during our League One days are doing.

Wigan - "stole" Charlie Wyke from us as they were a bigger club IIRC. The payment issues were just "administrative errors". Funny how that bloke hasn't posted on here in about 3 years. Currently 17th in League One.

Wycombe - "this is our house and you play by our rules". Remember that clown? 11th in League One.

Rotherham - team full of ex-Mags who loved nothing more than wheeling out the Shearer celebration. Wonder if they're still at it as the score to drag themselves up to their current position of 13th in League One?

Peterborough - The club who Darragh MacAnthony used to make up nonsense about turning down a (non existent) massive bid for one of their players from us in every single transfer window. Not sure he can do that any more now we're signing players like Xhaka. 21st in League One and heading for relegation.

Accrington Stanley - abandoning a game and then charging our fans again to attend to take advantage of and rip a few quid off our superb away support. Now 17th in League Two! Surprised they didn't do more with the extra cash.

Oxford - Karl Robinson calling the police. Enough said.

Portsmouth - one of the most horrible worst sets of supporters you will ever find. And that Marcus bloody Harness.

And a special mention to:

Luton - who could forget Luton? That bloke who was coming on here with his "Prem Update" thread, only to them end up back in League One whilst we look comfortable in the Premier League, having accumulated more points in 13 games than they got in 29 and we are now just 4 points off their entire PL season total with 25 games to play. They're just outside the League One playoffs now, so maybe "The Kenny" will be fortunate enough to witness Championship football again next season.

There was a time when this place was infested by fans on the above clubs. Funny how we haven't heard from any of them in quite a while.

The cream always eventually rises to the top.

And yes, I am bitter and no, I won't move on. :lol:

Nothing screams hitting the big time like your fans having a chip.on their shoulder about league one clubs mind.

Never considered watching it from a "rear view mirror" perspective.

I might give it a go sometime and see how it is.

Thanks.

It's still all very recent of course although the shit show with Grayson started in 2017 which is starting to just slide away into the not so recent past....

In a mad way I think it was a good thing for us.

Personally as a fan , it ground zeroed me and made me start over as you will.

It was a reality check.

Makes me appreciate the good days we are having now .

Makes the highs of this season taste oh so sweet. Hell, watching the Mowbray playoff team, with a full stadium felt like dizzy heights that felt unattainable and doubted we’d even reach again.

You missed off Lincoln City who were acting like we were deluded thinking we were too good for league one

Absolutely - a club that regularly flooded a corner of their badly drained pitch at halftime which was already sodden in order to make it completely unplayable for the opposition - and got away with it.

Still it has obvious paid off for them this season as they have already won promotion to the Championship and are back in the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years.

I have however no doubt at all that they will be returning to the 3rd tier before very long.

We can laugh but that was a big day for them because they don't usually play clubs of our size. It's even more amplified by the fact they now play non league football.

It was at that game I realised Sunderland were back as a footballing force.

2017 to 2022 seasons, although they had occasional moments, were right offs and the hits just kept coming

Grounded? Yes.

Optimistic? Cautiously so

Loving footy? You better believe it!
