gasroom.co.uk - POLL: Should Pompey go under, would you prefer...

a) Wycombe remain in League Two and the next highest ranked club from last year's League Two (presumably Cheltenham) go up instead.
b) Wycombe win a reprieve from relegation and start in League One.
c) Not bothered; Steve Hayes is out now, the future's a hell of a lot brighter than it was a few months ago.

I personally would prefer a); I see this season as ripe for rebuilding and I'm not sure I'd particularly like to see another dire season in League One. League Two seems a more natural place for a squad in transition.

And finally, anyone know of a precedent/ruling that renders this poll invalid and lets us know what will actually happen instead?

    A reformed club will probably start in Conference South the season after next. But if they manage to keep going it's likely they will be relegated to League 2 this season.

A "normal" business couldn't do that so au revior Pompey you want to stay in foot ball start at the foot of the pyramid.... Would anyone else care if it happened to us? No!

  and have failes repeatedly. No sympathy, I pay my taxes and bills - why should a badly run football club living beyond its means get away with it.

I hope Pompey survive. best solution all round. In the, probably still unlikely, event that they cease playing before start of season, does strike me as far too late now to rearrange clubs throughout ... more

  We (or Cheltenham) would take Pompey's fixtures, Hereford (or Wrexham) would take our fixtures etc..

      expect the League goes ahead with 23 teams and one less team is relegated from that and underlying divisions at the end of the season to get the numbers back to normal for 2013 season?

  Whilst I wish it was different, we finished seven points from safety. A final league table does not lie. BFK.
