It's like this.

Last year we were there, unfortunately we couldn't quite hold on and slipped down a small snake. Even after that though we started this summer with only having a small ladder to go back up to the top row. However, the club and manager decided not to take the option of the small ladder and move back a few squares, so the small ladder is now longer. The next step is crucial, if we move back another few squares there's a big snake waiting and the ladder to get back up will be much longer than the one we had 3 or 4 months ago! - courtesy of Eric!

Personally I think we've missed the chance of the little ladder because the club, manager, owner were too cautious and reserved.
