Is it wrong to be looking forward to relegation?

[bluestreak]

yeah, you're right dave really. relegation battles and mid-table obscurity is pretty good too!

 

[strung out]

The resulting economic knock-on effect would then see smaller clubs in the lower leagues struggle to stay afloat.

would it? which of the economic benefits in the premiership really trickles down to the lower leagues. down here we still get the majority of our money from gate receipts, local sponsorship deals, the odd cup run/promotion. what are these so called economic benefits which we in the lower leagues have to thank the big boys for?

Other then getting our ex academy players for fuck all. zip.

Still, what are you going to do? Not go? It's still a good day out even if you're 3-0 down in 20 mins.

I couldn't afford it. £50 a ticket gives me no option, I don't have the money.

I hated being in the championship. It was harder to watch highlights, find out west ham news and i didn't know half the players we were playing against, oh and our big signings were all from wimbeldon, which was a bit shit.

I don't give a fuck about who we're playing against. I don't need to watch highlights because I go to the games and Rovers news is on the Rovers website and in the local press.

there aren't any

the only trickle down effect is the steady rise in wages

It doesn't matter which league you're in really. We've gone from the premier league to the (old) fourth division and now we're slowly dragging ourselves back up again. It's all about being with your mates, having a good drink and going to places where you can't understand what the locals are saying. You can do that whatever division you find yourself in.

most sensible post on here.

I don't go to watch the opposition, I go to watch us.

No way. I love watching highlights if i have been to the game!

you can get highlights of all football league games on Sky Sports News, the Championship on ITV on a sunday morning and online via Virgin Media.

Also on local news if you live local.

Enough for me ta, but if you really want to then you can get them off your own team's website.

Swindon v Leeds was a good day out

I've enjoyed Leeds United in Div 2 and 3

Fucking rubbish football though

ahh yes virgin media helps no end that wasnt about when we were down last. I don't think i managed to watch the championship once when we were there!

and yeah no sky at the time so highlights were impossible.
