The EFL and Below Show
Manchester Football Social - EFL and Below Show - Bury and Stockport promoted, Bolton down, Salford in the playoffs and Rochdale and Wigan stay up
•
This is the EFL and Below Show from the Manchester Football Social, your look at all of the footballing action in Greater Manchester that doesn't come from the Premier League.
Niall McCaughan is joined by Ian Foran and Aaron Benson from the Football Manc Cave after a busy period which saw Bury promoted to League One despite their off-field issues, and Stockport County making a welcome return to the 5th tier of English football after winning the National League North.
Bolton continue to be shrouded in ownership doubts and were relegated from the Championship in a week where the players went on strike - the same can't be said for Paul Cook's Wigan Athletic who dug in to secure their place in the second tier for another season, much like Brian Barry-Murphy's Rochdale side who have avoided relegation in League One.
Salford are unsure of their fate as they prepare to take on the National League playoffs - plenty to talk about of course on this week's episode!
