Just thought this was quite interesting & considering where Swansea are now, Doncaster however...

That is all.

Supporting Hull away from home must have been fun .... losing 20 out of the 23 away games

Doncaster have done alright though? Dropped into non league after that season (thank God it was them and not us), but have since got a new stadium and fought their way back up, reaching the Championship at one stage. So they've suffered a setback recently, but they're in a far better place now than they were then.

Perhaps this is hope for the likes of Plymouth.

Hull must be contenders for the club that has climbed from the lowest league position to highest (I recall them peaking somewhere in the top half of the table during their Premiership run).

Who else has had such changes in league position, I guess Swansea could well out do them...until we win the Prem of course.

Donny have had a cracking time the last 8 or so seasons. A much better experience than ourselves in fact.

Notts County
Macclesfield Town
Lincoln City
Colchester United
Torquay

Amazing!

Well...

Look at Luton, Cambridge, Grimsby, Stockport, Wrexham, Mansfield...etc. There's more clubs that go down and then die a lingering death (hopefully not Wrexham) than there are clubs 'doing a Donny'. Relegation for Plymouth could be terminal.

Wigan? Wimbledon?

The 'All Time League Table' is pretty 'cool'.

Five new stadiums for those five clubs too.
