Its almost like promotion and relegation as a concept actually works ... shocked

Newcastle Football been stagnant for too long. Great drama at both ends of the table. Congratulations to Kahibah on promotion and those teams retaining their NL1 status. Great first season for Dudley also.

If you rest on your laurels now, live off past glories, then you'll get punished, and you just don't bounce back next season either.
Plenty of clubs are doing good things at lower levels and are ready to step up. Great to see.
