Popular Post Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 Keep reading how DM has failed because we didn’t get promoted. How this year was our best chance to get out of this Division or we must get out next year. I’ve been watching Wednesday since 1979 and have been blessed to see Sgt Wilkos side in the 80s and witnessed the relative success of the 90s and our sortie into Europe. However, in this millennium , my favourite seasons have been “mind the gap” , Carlos1 , this season, CarlosI2 and Sturrockos season. i enjoy watching us win more than we lose and play exciting attacking football. I also enjoy visiting the new and quirky grounds. Can’t wait to see Forest Greens vegan bamboo palace. in the main I haven’t enjoyed the Championship, being mediocre, having nothing to play for, overspending on rank average players , constantly facing financial ruin, umbongos etc. I don’t believe we have the finances, structure or infrastructure to be.a Prem team again in my lifetime and would rather enjoy a season like last year than endure one like the season before. What do people think? (Reaches for tin hat) 20 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I'd rather be in it than LG1. Get what you are saying however, actually getting to the Prem if sensible can set you up to invest money in the frastructure of the club for years, build decent youth set up etc etc. Likes of Norwich, Burnley have banked a few quid, they have no illusions about titles etc, but don't worry about filling accounts or points deductions. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post McRightSide Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 Whilst a season with wins is infinitely more enjoyable I couldn’t disagree more If you are t bothered about Promotion following performances then American sports would be better for you. IMO it’s what makes the game. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fair points but also in some ways supports my feelings. Personally I would rather have watched our last season than Norwich. Awful feeling rocking up to the ground expecting to be hammered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GermanBird Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 @Lawrie’s Left Peg thanks for this thread That's something, which bothers me as well. Where are our advantages in league one, championship or even Premier League? I want to get promoted and I want to be back in the Premier League one day, but why? For us fans, league one has some obvious advantages... especially it's more likely that we are winning. Fighting for promotion is such so much more fun than fighting against relegation. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like an oasis. Looks great till you get there only to discover it’s as dry and Sh1tty as the rest of the desert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachyderm Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Cost differential for the fans? I've often wondered how it would affect our fan base if we were up in the Prem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider all of my friends here in the US have teams in the prem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I’m wondering. Can’t remember what game it was last season, possibly Blackburn, when we were down and out by half time. Me and my son left. First time in over 40 years. Seriously thought about jacking in. Nothing to enjoy and nothing to look forward too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 We would be a lot happier with a sustainable Championship club than losing in the League One play offs. Fulham fans looked like they were having fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 83owl Posted May 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think we should drop to L2 then we have a better chance of winning even more games. 2 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I would rather be in Championship but I enjoyed most of last season, especially away days, MK Dons, Accrington, Crewe and Bolton were great. Even when losing at Lincoln it was a nice day out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I’d like to be in the Premier League like in the good old days. People can convince themselves that it is good but I hate the pub league. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have far more bad memories of the Championship than good. I like winning games and and scoring goals in L1 and the championship similarly competitive. There are a few games in L1 against big clubs and I find I look forward to them more than games in tiny stadiums against (no disrespect intended) lower league clubs. It's not the status, just the competitiveness I suppose. That said, I have no interest whatsoever in the EPL. Watching my team win half a dozen games a season and score less than a goal a game is boring to me. I'm not 12 and don't have posters on my wall and get excited when football brands come to town. For me the championship is the last bastion of actual football, not the faux EPL version of the sport, a competitive league with some good football clubs in it. Yes, recent memories of the championship not good, but the offs seasons were positive and before that pretty comfortable mid table for a while. It's also shown that little clubs like Huddersfield, Luton (and the pigs) can still compete for play off places. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 You're saying lets give up on ambition cos it's tough? Maybe the players should crack open the picnic blanket on the pitch every Saturday. Glad you're not a sports psychologist. Maybe set our targets the same as Accrington or Cambridge..? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elyowl1 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 We can be competitive in the Championship but we cant do what we did in 2016 to 2018 and basically have 3 full teams, crippled us and is why we are currently in the 3rd tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
