http://www.footballpools.com/thepools/new/football-fever/topten.jspIt's only just over a decade ago that Swindon were a Premiership side, but the past 10 years have been tough going for fans at the County Ground. Relegation from the top flight in 1994 was followed by a second successive drop, and although promotion from Division Two was secured a year later, the team struggled in Division One in the next three seasons, finishing 19th, 18th and 17th. In 2000 came relegation, and a year later Swindon avoided another 'double relegation' by just one point. A glimmer of hope came when the play-offs were reached in 2004 - ending in a semi-final loss to Brighton - but last term Town became the first club to drop into the bottom tier of the Football League having once been in the Premiership. We bet Robins' fans can hardly believe it.

Cant argue with Carlisle. They should be number 1 for me. Then us.
Pompey, thats a joke. And Crewe have punched well above their weight. Notts County its all their own fault because they could have been Forest fans.
Id say Sheff Weds have had it tough recently. And the scum could have a claim, if they were football league!

Comment from evening adver site: Real Football Fan on 11:02am today
In the interest of health for the STFC supporters, it is surely now time that this club was CLOSED and that we can all be put out of our misery!

It's shit anyway, there was a top league before they started calling it the Premiership.
Fuck off Sky.

i'd say being an oxford fan must be quite stressful, what with the absolute dominance that their main rivals have over them.
big shout outs to wrexham (stadium situation and administration) and brighton (no home) too.

I reckon we'd be quite high with those relegations.
