Midlands Football League

It is very, very hard to escape once you get relegated.

And for a club like Annan Athletic, because of where they are geographically as well, that could be a long, long way back for them because the South of Scotland League is not a strong talent pool to draw upon if you look at their results comparatively to, like, the Midlands League, the East of Scotland League, the West of Scotland League.

So if they do finish 10th and they do get relegated, that could be the last we see of them in the SPFL.

It is kind of that stark.
