League One Season Preview 2008/2009

Well, just one day until the season kicks off and who can’t wait? I certainly can’t way until tomorrow when the cycle starts again with a trip to Huddersfield.

League One is going to be competitive this season, that is for sure.

Look at the odds, Leeds United and Leicester City are obvious favourites for 1st and 2nd place, but newly promoted Peterborough and MK Dons are third and fifth favourites respectively.

See thats the thing, Stockport County beat BOTH Peterborough and MK Dons last season away from home. Yet we find ourselves as one of the favourites for relegation – something that won’t happen.

Huddersfield are the fourth favourites, and say County were to go and win at Huddersfield tomorrow then there is no reason that County can’t compete with the teams listed above.

For relegation you get all the teams you normally get, the little clubs who nobody likes, Cheltenham, Hereford, Yeovil, Stockport, Crewe, Leyton Orient. But who knows who will go down? Luton were relegated last season, albeit via a big deduction of points, but something weird could happen.

So who knows whats going to happen? Well instead of me going through and talking rubbish like most of the previews you see online about teams I know nothing about, I went and found a fan from each team.

As you’ve probably seen the previews have been going on steadly, and there hasn’t been much else on the site, if there has it was quickly pushed off the page by all the previews, I’m sure you’ll appreciate that it was hard when there was 24 teams that needed publishing in two weeks.

I say 24 teams, but four teams didn’t get back to me.
