Who do my fellow SVers want to see promoted to the EFL....
For me it has to be Southend if only for the reason that Oldham will bring a larger away following to the Maz than Southend and therefore more revenue into our coffer. It's easier for us to get there plus less travelling costs for the club with no lengthy and expensive coach travel and overnight accommodation to pay for.

Southend for me ... Just for the same reasons as Neil
Oldham would bring 1000 plus to the Maz

I agree that Oldham would be better for us because of the away following.
Crazy fact - Southend have the biggest ever away following at the Mazuma

Oldham Athletic all the way, similarities with our plight also their fan base have been through it just as much as we have. They didn't deserve the owners they had. Thankfully they have an owner who not only cares for his club but also the town. ( we can only hope)
Over the last two matches they comfortably dispatched of Halifax and York city.
Hope they can make it back to the EFL, really deserve it.

If they had won that game they would've achieved automatic promotion! But as usual with their fans fighting amongst themselves we won 3-1 They eventually won promotion via the play offs. I think we actually finished in the top half that season.
