I'd like Barrow to stay up - a proper, traditional football town.

I would like to relegate Crawley; a real "bogey" team for us....

I do not want to go down anywhere these days with my back.

Suppose Rochdale in reality

Don't want anybody to go down. Someone has to - as long as it's not us. May be Rochdale.

The division is dominated with Northern clubs, so I don't want any of the few Southern clubs going, and with the teams coming down from League 1 predominantly Northern, that's even more important.
There's too many long journeys as it is.
I'm not really bothered who goes down, as long as it isn't us, but if I had to name a team it would be Barrow. A really long awkward journey.

Oldham probably in that lot. Mainly for the idiot in charge.

Stevenage and Colchester are ok away days to travel to. Crawley isn't an option. Barrow is old school football ground and are a club fighting above their station without really breaking the bank, although could be funny to see Phil Brown squirm for a relegation 2 years running.

Stevenage. They're not a proper football club. I'd like to see Barrow stay up. They were voted out the league just because it's a difficult place to get to ( same thing happened to Workington.) They battled long and hard to get their league status back. Not sure they've done themselves any favours by hiring Phil Brown but we'll see.

Really, anybody but us . We’re not out of the woods just yet . Don’t forget this is Orient we’re talking about . 40 points still isn’t enough for safety. A couple more wins and I’ll start to relax

Barrow.

One of the few teams in this division I’ve never been to away and have absolutely no desire to go to.

Stevenage for me: still a non league setup and a depressing experience most of the time.

Second choice would be Oldham. Must've been there 8 times and we never get much there.

No to Rochdale (great trip, and a nice club). Also enjoy Barrow despite the distance..

Why vote for Stevenage when it is just down the road. Few enough near by games as it is

Out of that lot, probably Stevenage. Horrible town, ground is in the middle of nowhere. Nothing to recommend it at all.

If not them, then Colchester. It’s an ok town, but the ground is a soulless box waaay out of town.

I suppose we’ve all got time for Oldham, the way they’re being screwed over. Maybe if they did go down they can regroup and come back stronger like we (sort of) did with new owners.

Barrow seem a plucky bunch but I’ve never been there for the reason that it’s such an arseache to get to. May give them another season.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Rochdale. They’ve run that club on bugger all funds for decades, completely rebuilt Spotlands into a nice wee ground, and the town is nowhere as bad as its satellite Manchester location would suggest.

I'd say Stevenage, but I feel sorry for Scott Cuthbert as that would be another relegation on his CV and there are far worse who have never been playing for a team that has been relegated.

I see Oldham lost again tonight . TBH , I hope they don’t go down . A great old club with good supporters . Somehow I hope they end up surviving. Stevenage would be the club I’d happily wave goodbye

Their location isn't of much consequence to me personally. It's a nothing club in a nothing place, and they've brought little to the league since arriving.
