    2 years, although with the amount of teams being expelled from the Conf, this is the year to get promoted as in theory it should never be easier.

    A large part of me would be happy if they went bankrupt and re-invented themselves as, say Bristol Rovers 2014, just to shut those pathetic Sagheads up over our 82 issue.

    Think it will only be the 1 year. I honestly do think they'll win the league with ease after a bit of a shaky start.

    That's exactly what Lincoln, Wrexham, Cambridge, Kidderminster, Luton, Grimsby, Stockport and a host of others all thought too.....and it's taken Luton and Cambridge years.

    I think they will bounce back straightaway - I like the way their manager handled himself following relegation

    I'm hoping they do a Milton Keynes sort of scenario and buy Swindon so they can all mate with the inbreds from there.

    Will be at least a couple of years. Most clubs have to reorganise completely and build again. At that level it is difficult to anticipate who will be the strong teams in the following season. And money talks so the clubs that can inject some real money have the best chance. If the Gas can retain a decent following then that may come back quickly, in a couple of years. No good if their supporters abandon them straight away.
    From a personal point of view I hope they come back to proper football quickly. I've supported City properly since 1956 and remember many exciting local derbies, both won and lost. We need more of them. The joy of a victory and the pain of a loss will always remain with me.
