Been a fan since 71/2 and thought yesterday this is the longest we have stayed in a division since I have been a supporter. Got me thinking what is our longest spell in any division. The results were not surprising in they prove we have always been a "Yo Yo" club but more interestingly we are currently in our 3rd longest spell of staying in the same division. This is our 9th straight season in The Championship. I can't see us going up or down this year and (on that presumption) we would therefore (next season) equal the 2nd longest spell of 10 seasons in one division..Personally I'm a little bored of this division and would love us to enter the top flight for another 18 seasons as we did a hundred years ago..... But currently can't see it changing and this to me explains the tepid atmosphere down St Andrews.... Its all stale as is the football this season. At least when we "Yo Yo" you have something to shout for...... Good or bad its mostly been our history hence the Joys and Sorrows. I know its crap but its mostly what we have done throughout our history. For most its something we have never experienced. Its Groundhog Day without the comedy and I miss the excitement and comedy of being a Blues fan. Dunno but its no fun at the moment sitting in a quiet St.Andrews.
