Guest ayrshireranger Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 'Blackpool's rise to the Premier League in 2010 was a football miracle. Despite having the third lowest playing budget in their division, just two permanent stands in a ground holding 12,000 and average crowds of 8,000, Ian Holloway's side came up and nearly stayed up. But imagine a club less than half the size of Blackpool, a Morecambe or Macclesfield for instance, being on the cusp of the Premier League? Such a scenario would be would be implausible. Their best players would be snapped up by bigger clubs on the way and they'd be powerless to compete with the much bigger fish. It would be a miracle if such a small team got out of England's third level without a benefactor, yet in Spain, CD Alcorcón are one play-off away from reaching the Primera Liga for the first time.' http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/andy-mitten/miracle-alcorcon-113125252.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
