Just praying that we’re not the ones to make way for whichever is successful.

Luton are well used to promotion and relegation over the years.

Yeah I remember that cracking cup final when they beat Spurs. Later they had a good team for a while under Strachan.
But yeah Coventry CIty, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and fellow founders Derby County all show how mismanagement can destroy great clubs.

I was also reading an article about Coventry who play Luton tomorrow and which included the following rather depressing read:
“The Sky Blues have also endured a tough time since their relegation from the Premier League in 2001, a demotion that ended a 34-year run of top-flight football for the club.
The 22 years the club spent outside the top flight have been turbulent, to say the least.
They moved from their home of 106 years, Highfield Road, to a brand new, 32,609-capacity stadium on the outskirts of the city — from which they were evicted. Twice.
The club even came within a whisker of folding completely. Twice.
” etc etc.
Now I know Coventry don’t perhaps quite have the cachet of Everton (although even that is diminishing before our eyes) but those of us of a certain vintage will recall Coventry as an established and regular opponent and their league placings before dropping out were not wildly different from ours of the past few seasons, but it is simply appalling to consider that the piece might be written in the future about the Royal Blue of Everton rather than the sky blue of Coventry.
The runes are looking favourable so I am superstitiously feeling a pretty good, although intensely nervous, vibe about Sunday but I do worry it may be down to the failure of Leicester and Leeds rather than our own result on the day.
Let’s pray we end up the full 5 points clear of the drop and I can dispel the prospect of passing one or other of the Sky Blues or the Hatters going in the opposite direction.
