25 Predictions That Will Happen In Lower League This Season...

"Why they've picked on little Luton is beyond me" Nick Owen

1 - One of Bournemouth and Rotherham and will stay up, and their manager will be lauded for staying up against the odds. Despite the fact Luton have had even more points deducted and there are only two relegation spots in League Two.

2 - Barnet will go on a run of six games without a goal, then win a game 4-1 and gain a cult hero.

3 - Dave Penney will be deemed to have underachieved with Darlington.

4 - Stockport will hit form in March after a mediocre season and overachieve again.

5 - Crewe will stick with their gaffer (and good on them!)

6 - Accrington will fail to get a gate over 2,000 people through the gates unless they face a team chasing promotion, when the away aggregate will be higher than the home aggregate.

7 - Whenever Hartlepool play in a midweek game, the Sky Sports News Presenter will be more bothered about Jeff Stelling than the result.

8 - Brighton's new ground will be delayed.

9 - Oxford will fail to get promotion despite being the biggest club in the BSP by miles.

10 - No Team will take the Johnstone's Paint Trophy seriously despite the potential half-million paycheck and great day out.

11 - MK Dons will play on telly, but the coverage will be Winkelman, Winkelman, Winkelman.

12 - Some idiots will post on forums about "Winkleman", acting as they know everything about the move when in truth they can't even spell his name.

13 - Darragh MacAnthony will cheat the 60% of turnover as wages rule by sponsoring Peterborough himself.

14 - Darragh MacAnthony will cheat the Johnstone's Paint Trophy first-team players rule because he has a mate at the Football League.

15 - Graham Turner will field a team of almost all loan players. Prompting Hereford to be dubbed Championship Loan Rovers.

16 - Colchester will fail to sell out their new 10,000 seater stadium apart from when they play Leeds, Leicester and Southend.

17 - Chester will only stay up because of the Point deductions in League Two.

18 - Whenever Torquay United are mentioned on Sky the presenter won't get through the sentence without mention Helen Chamberlain.

19 -Helen Chamberlain won't get through an episode of Soccer AM without mentioning Martin Gritton.

20 - Cheltenham Town will beat the odds again, purely based on other teams underestimating them.

21 - The form team will win the Play-offs in League One and Two.

22 - A club Drewe Broughton plays for will get relegated.

23 - A team will run away with the Blue Square Premier.

24 - A team in League Two will heavily invest in non-league players, and prosper as a result.

25 - Lincoln will come close but not quite make it.
