Isn't it weird in the Prem, we rarely sold out! In the Championship, were competitive but not world breaking and the fans are flocking back and actually enjoying the football? My old mans a STH for over 50 years and swears he enjoys this more than the Prem, he's even said he would like to win the league and stay in this league as we are competitive, entertaining and it makes for a more interesting trip to the shrine!!

It's a funny old thing (ambition). It's a kick in the teeth to all the ambitious fans, players, Management Staff, etc, to say you actually prefer the Championship............but I've said it on here before: I actually enjoy the excitement and fight for promotion with full houses; I enjoy coming away from the Ground with a smile on my face (unlike The Pulis Years!). When it comes down to it, the football played at this level is as good as the old 1st Division of yesteryear. Foreigners have obviously improved the Premier, but I don't get ecstatic watching Salah, Silva, Hazard, etc., - I prefer players who give their all for the shirt.
Pragmatically we'll never compete at the Top End again, and although we're 11th in The All-Time League, and I'm proud of that, none of the Clubs other than the Top 7 or 8 are ever going to seriously bother our Standing even in 50 years time.
I'm not your Dad, am I, OneTrue??

(Can't wait to get promoted in May, mind. )
