What for the relegated clubs?

Both Hammarby and Orgryte were relegated in 2009 with Djurgarden escaping by the narrowest of margins. Hammarby have been suffering long-term while Orgryte left themselves with a massive hole to dig out of in the summer.

Orgryte:
Orgryte had a miserable start to the season with just two points collected before the summer break. The 2nd half of the season did improve and managed a further 23 points but it wasn't enough. Orgryte simply had too much of a gap to recover.
They go back down having won promotion last year and although they could bounce back up at the first time of asking, the Superettan is a competitive league.

Hammarby:
Hammarby go down with misery but as i have mentioned it has been comming for the last few years. Swedish champions as recently as 2001 this is a dark period for the club and face a diffiuclt but acheivable task of promotion next year.
