Football is finally back tomorrow with all 4 English leagues starting up. It’s been a big spending summer, with some fantastic buys and some dodgy dealings, but what will that mean any change in the destination of the major trophies?

August 10, 2007DigitalFC League 1 Preview
August 10, 2007League 1 will see two massive clubs fighting it out for promotion. Nottingham Forest start their third season in England’s third tier and Leeds United will be looking to bounce back in their first ever season at this level.
However, Leeds’ promotion bid looks to be over before its started as the Football League imposed a 15-point penalty for financial irregularities. It could be a long, hard season for Leeds.
We expect Forest to be at the top end of the table, but automatic promotion may be beyond them again.
So who will go up? Luton have made some great summer signings in Paul Peschisolido, Don Hutchison and Darren Currie and we fully expect them to be in the mix come the end of the season. Oldham, Doncaster and Swansea will be up there too.
At the bottom, Bristol Rovers, Walsall and Swindon may find it difficult, but we expect Hartlepool to survive in mid-table. Look for Cheltenham and Leyton Orient to struggle too.
