Who do we want to join us who isn't already confirmed?
Because of the size of the teams in the league, I'd like to see Huddersfield and Plymouth come down and Barrow come up.

Birmingham would be a fun away game for me not to go to.
I feel like whoever comes down is going to be pretty strong tbh. Who's got the most potential to be a basket case? Wednesday perhaps? Their owner seems like he might completely bin his toys.
Blackburn? Is it still the Venkeys? They've overseen quite a decline if Blackburn go down.
Dunno, but yeah a Crawley or Barrow coming up would be nice you'd think.

I'm quite disappointed that the š denied us another, particularly spicy, nearby away-day next season.
Mind you he's probably done a good enough job there this season to trick them into keeping him, so hopefully he'll lead them to bottom & out on his arse by Christmas.

Always said Wild was overrated.
Sickener for Barrow given I think they've been in the play-offs almost the entire season

If Oxford get promoted then Iāll miss the set in stone Cambridge v Oxford in the 1st or 2nd week of fixtures in August 2024.

Currently in Orlando and Wrexham are well advertised this side of the pond so will be interesting to see how they do.

We all know about second season syndrome and I think that will hit Stevenage and Northampton the hardest. Alongside them I feel Burton and Bristol Rovers could struggle.
Yes weāll be one of the favourites to go down but I donāt think the league will be as tough as some are making out.

They have enough cash to get a good manager in and recruit well. Looking at Cobblers, Exeter, Orient, Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury, Burton + playoff League 2 side as the ones that will be scrapping it out I think. Next season looks TOUGH though. |

Yep, Orient could sit in that group too and are Reading's woes totally behind them?
I guess people are worried because two of the teams coming up have sugar daddy backers, but that assumes that the clubs that survive this year will either stay as they are or improve. Rarely works like that in practice.

I think Shrewsbury will likely be in the mix too although nowhere near as bad as this season & Reading remain a bit of a wild card unless/until their takeover goes through. Exeter I also could see having a tough time of things & Wellens has a lot to prove in L1 still, and without the momentum of last season (once they got all their injured players back) could also find things tougher going. |

I think it gets harder to predict in the modern game because so many clubs go through wholesale changes each summer.
Stevenage finished 23 points clear of us this season, yet the starting XI for both them and us might have eight or nine new faces next season. Both clubs will have new (or in our case new-ish) managers next season.
