And yet that mathematical possibility is still there, taunting you with the sound of the Great Escape theme tune. If it hadn't been for a fortunate combination of fixtures and results on the last day of the season, Oldham could easily have set the "fastest decline" record back in 1999 (I know because Lincoln went down that year). As it is, it looks like being Swindon, which a pity, as they're still unfairly remembered in some quarters as the team that bombed out of the Premiership, despite far worse Premiership records since.
