Hey all,
I won promotion in the first year with Rushden (yeah, yeah, I support them, so what if they're not in the Conf South?). I'm still not really sure how I did it, there was a 7-game win streak in there somewhere which still baffles me (Northampton broke it unfortunately) which moved me from mid-table into the playoffs, then another spurt took me into 3rd on the last day of the season where I stayed after Darlo lost.
Problem is, I've spent only about £10,000 on transfers in (and £40,000 out), signing only out-of-contract players who wanted to come and I'm having a rough go of the League One this time around, barely keeping my head above the drop, which leaves me to ponder...
How well do you fare after you take your team up, whether it be to the Conference, League Two, or League One? Are certain leaps easier than others (such as the Conference -> League Two?) Or is it generally pretty easy/difficult?
