Bristol City - Cardiff - Wycombe Wanderers - Bristol Rovers - Cheltenham Town - Hereford United - Oxford United - Swindon Town
One week from today Hull will take on Blackpool and get the 2011/12 Football League season up running. It's a great time of the year for fans as hopes are still high and promotion is a real possibility. Injuries, suspensions and managerial sackings haven't had a major effect and reality for most of us hasn't yet sunk in!
Keith Millen steadied the ship last term at Bristol City and the boys there looked on the up by the turn of the year.
Cardiff just missed out (again) on promotion to the Prem. Dave Jones gave it his best shot, but is this their season under a new manager?
Wycombe gained promotion to League One, but can Gary Waddock's side keep them up?
Bristol Rovers and Swindon dropped down a flight. Are they good enough to bounce straight back under their own new managers?
Chris Wilder consolidated Oxford's position back in the league, but do Us fans now expect more than just the highlight of a couple of derby games against Swindon?
Cheltenham and Hereford are two of the - dare I say - smaller sides in League Two, but while their fan bases might not be as large as the bigger clubs in the division, they are just as passionate. Can they upset those so-called big boys and do something special under their two young managers?
I'd like to hear from fans of the clubs above as to what their aspirations are for the new season. Are you staring at relegation from the outset? Would mid-table safety suit you before a ball has even been kicked? Or is promotion a very real possibility?
Next week I'll pen my own thoughts on these clubs ... for what they are worth.
