Review
Following their first full season in the Football League, Town under Dick Pudan were hoping to rise up the table to try to establish themselves as possible promotion candidates. However, promotion was never a realistic possibility with inconsistency proving to be Town's downfall in the season. This coupled with Town's off-field finances proved too much for the team to take and Town finished 17th place.

gollark: Breaking changes actually get announced on their news page.
gollark: For all the "instability" of Arch, it doesn't randomly do that.
gollark: Is anything below `ghc` in the stack implementation details to you?
gollark: The machine code for them is excessively complex too, now, but I suppose you mostly write Haskell and whatnot which is then compiled to that.
gollark: They have ridiculously complex manufacturing processes because the transistors are on the scale of a few hundred atoms, it's crazy.
