Derby down ~

March 29th. How does that rank alongside the earliest relegations in history? Certainly one of the earliest I can recall since the top flight carried on past the Mayday bank holiday. And yes, I am old enough to remember when the only football still to be played after April was the FA Cup final and the England-Scotland Home International, and everyone was washing their whites ready for the cricket season to begin, eagerly awaiting the Cambridge University v Essex match that traditionally began the county season.
