Following Sunday evenings Sky Bet League 1 Play Off Final between Preston North End and Swindon Town, the field for the 2015/16 Sky Bet League 1 campaign is now complete.

League Champions Bristol City and runners-up Milton Keynes Dons went up to the Championship automatically, and were joined by Play Off winners Preston North End, who defeated Swindon Town by four-goals-to-nil in Sunday evening's final, goals from Jermaine Beckford (3) and Paul Huntington securing Play Off victory for the Lilywhites at their tenth attempt, those sides will be replaced by Millwall, Blackpool, and Richard O'Donnell's Wigan Athletic, who were all relegated from the Sky Bet Championship last season.


Next season's League 1 table will include Play Off Final losers Swindon Town, along with Sheffield United, Chesterfield, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, Rochdale, Scunthorpe United, Crewe Alexandra, Barnsley, Peterborough United, Fleetwood Town, Gillingham, Oldham Athletic, Port Vale, Coventry City, Colchester United, and, obviously, Walsall, all of whom failed to achieve promotion, and managed to avoid relegation during the last campaign.

They will be joined by League 2 Champions Burton Albion, second placed Shrewsbury Town, third placed Bury, and Play Off winners Southend United, who were victorious over Wycombe Wanderers in Saturday evening's Final, giving the Saddlers at least a couple of new near-rival trips for the 2015/16 campaign.

The Football League will reveal the fixtures for the 2015/16 season on Wednesday, 17th June, and you'll be able to read Walsall's here, on BescotBanter.net.
