2026 Promotion Party: Who’s Celebrating?

The football season is nearing an end – but for some teams, the celebrations have already begun! CHAMPIONSHIP Coventry City have by far been the leading team this past season – it’s no surprise to see them lifting the trophy this year, but behind them it was a closely fought battle for the second automatic promotion spot, with Ipswich Town securing a direct return to the Premier League on the final day, beating QPR. LEAGUE ONE A phenomenal season for Lincoln City saw them become champions of the third division... Read More

Bromley FC – Welcome To PunkFootball!

In an unprecedented turn of events, Bromley FC made history last month by securing a place in League Two for the first time in their 132-year existence. Their promotion came about through a nail-biting penalty shootout against Solihull Moors in the National League Playoffs, clinching the victory 4-3 following a thrilling 2-2 draw after extra time. Now that Bromley FC has achieved promotion, the challenge is to maintain their status in League Two and avoid immediate relegation. While it will be difficult, it’s not impossible – take two recent examples... Read More

Goals Galore: Mansfield vs. Harrogate

It’s not often you can talk about an eleven-goal thriller in football, but that’s exactly what happened in League Two this past Tuesday. In a quite simply absurd match, Mansfield somehow managed to take a incredible 9-2 victory over Harrogate – but look in to the story further and it becomes even more incredible. Yes, Mansfield are in the chase for the League Two title – with them winning and leaders Stockport losing, the gap at the top closed to just one point. Harrogate, however, are most certainly not in... Read More

The Last Promotion Spots Of 2023…

Last week, we covered the story of the Championship Play-Off Final between Coventry City and Luton Town. But they’re not the only teams fighting for promotion this Bank Holiday Weekend! There’s still two other spots left to fill – those fighting in the League One and League Two Play-Off Finals. In League One, it’s between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday. The game on Bank Holiday Monday sees two teams with only a short amount of time looking to go up – Barnsley who were only relegated from the Championship last season... Read More

2016 Play-Off Finals – The Last Chance At Promotion

So this year’s season is wrapping up shortly – Leicester made the fairytale come true to win the Premier League, Burnley went straight back up with Middlesbrough returning after 7 years away, Wigan get back on the right path and head back to the Championship having only been in the top tier as recently as 2013 whereas Burton continue to surprise with automatic promotion in their first ever year in the third tier, and in League Two Northampton Town put financial worries aside to demolish the division, with Oxford United...

Promotion Race: Are Northampton about to go up?

You might remember back in October, we discussed League Two’s Northampton Town and their financial battle to fight administration. Despite everything they were going through, the performance on the pitch was still doing relatively OK. What a difference five months makes. Not only have the Cobblers got any financial worries put well in the past, but their performances have been nothing short of dominant – they haven’t lost a league game since December 19th, having gone their last seventeen games undefeated which included a string of ten consecutive wins –...

The Calm Before The Storm: FA Cup, Round 2…

The big boys are looming… time for the teams still in the FA Cup to fight for a win more than ever, because the all-important third round is next. For the smaller teams, a win means an opportunity to possibly be drawn against the big English teams, which would give a massive financial boost – where else would you see the likes of Manchester United possibly playing Stourbridge, for example? At this point, the most high-profile teams in the competition are from Leagues One and Two (who joined the competition... Read More

Pleasure & Pain – The Battle of Northampton Town

Rare that you can ever say this about a team fighting for promotion, but it’s tough times for Northampton Town. They’re currently 4th in League Two, with only goal difference preventing them from sitting in 3rd – and thus, an automatic promotion spot, currently held by Oxford United. Having won 6 of their last 10 games with 2 draws, it’s a great run for a team that in recent years has been middle of the road, fighting relegation and fighting for promotion. So how on earth can there be an... Read More

The New League Season Is Almost Here!

It hardly feels like a few moments ago since Chelsea prized the Premiership title away from Manchester for the first time since 2010, and yet we’re now less than a week away from the new season kicking it all off again. As mentioned earlier, Chelsea are defending their Premier League Title against 19 more challengers – of which Bournemouth make their first ever appearance, plus the return of Watford and Norwich to the top tier will make this season, pretty much like every year, a nail-biter from top to bottom....
