    We are perrenial long odds for promotion

    we probably were rank outsiders when we went up.

    Probably to do with the amount of money bet on us which is a function of the lack of optimism reflected in the outlook of the populace of the area.

    And by that you mean..

    a) The fact they came from lower league club's means the fee's are realistic.
    b) Why aren't we signing any from there?
    or c) I don't know..
