Don't get me wrong but ......

[huddersfieldfox]

I know along with myself there will be hundreds sweating until we are finally deemed safe or not. BUT  after the last couple of weeks I have enjoyed watching championship football it has more blood guts glory and tackling. I might have been put off because of the BR school of football. So take away the fact that it is Premier League -Championship I'd like to know others opinions on the difference and if they enjoy watching it 

[kingkisnorbo]

All the romanticism will fade when everyone realises how wank it is for fans. Pricing, consistent midweek games, quality of football. One of footballs great misnomers that it's any better than what we are in now.

That’s just psychological mate. Preparing yourself for the worst and convincing yourself it’s what you want. If you’re married you’ll know what I mean. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

The media hype up the premier league, and you’d be forgiven in thinking football doesn’t exist outside of it. While the Championship is decent, it’s the financial implication that scares me about going down. How could our finances adapt?

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

For the fans that live in the UK but nowhere near Leicester, it is the fact that if we go down then I will struggle to find a decent way to watch the matches.

[StanSP]

Most games are crap. The promotion hopefuls play well and have a good style, but most of the time it's not that great.

You wont, every game is streamed.

[SK3Blue]

It's dire stuff in the main, but then I think the overall standard is in decline, premier league is not everything it's made about to be. My worry is that if we do drop, we do a Cov or Leeds and drop again due to finances.

no u don't

I was literally about to write something very similar. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" would be a suitable phrase to describe this. Our fans love to romanticise the championship because we have not been in it for a decade and our closest memories consist of the season that we went up with 102 points. I understand the argument that we will get new grounds and new places, but it really is not the answer if you're seeking enjoyment (which surely every supporter in the land is?). The harsh reality is that the championship is a real slog. Of course, you can glorify it with the thought of Plymouth away in August, but it's not that much fun when you are playing Hull City and Rotherham on freezing Tuesday nights.

I doubt we will play 4 monday games in a row in the championship though.

[Stevosevic]

Every time I watch a championship game on TV I think to myself I’m glad we’re on not in this league.

 

One day we will be but I’m not ready for it. It’s crap. 

[VLC86]

It’s almost like Stephen Hughes and Mark De Vries were a myth.

[coolhandfox]

Its like saying, my missus is smoking hot, but I'm looking forward to shagging some mingers if she bins me off...

 

[NewEnglandFox]

 

It's fine to enjoy the championship. Or to be the big fish in a smaller pond for a season. But it might not only be a season. The Championship is a monster. It is called relegation after all.

[fuchsntf]

The PL despite media set pundits..despite poor official organisation,despite moral corrupt unbalanced armature bias in the  VAR studios.

Despite some players respect for what they have,

and lack of respect for the game officials thus the fans & themselves.

Despite FAs and world leading officials not coming down hard on managers & players…and corruption all over the place

 

I still love the quality of the game inside that whitewash…

 

And blame,must go down to the fans,who keep turning up twice a week…

What's wrong with that...😂

[Guest kristianity77]

Every time I watch championship football on the telly it reminds me of two people playing FIFA who don't know what the buttons do.  It's rank.

[The Year Of The Fox]

The PL ain’t all that either after a few seasons. 

[Sly]

The Championship is good quality football. 
 

The Premier League is the elite however. 
 

[sylofox]

Look on the bright side if we go down.

 

No sh1t var decisions 

[yorkie1999]

It doesn’t matter cos theres 2 great big fvcking trophies in the cabinet that everyone wants to win and we’ve seen our team win them. It’s a bit like that film Fever Pitch, fans will still go but now there’s other things in life

No.

 

It's horrible. It's a dog-eat-dog bunfight of a division. There's nothing romantic about 46 games of inferior slogfest dodgeball.

 

And it's got Rotherham.

Ahhh like the old myth of fat girls try harder

[The Doctor]

no away ticket price cap, playing Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday most weeks (except as a TV draw we'd be Fridays and Mondays instead), shit football. it's fun if you're winning every week and getting out of the division but being in it, paying 40 quid to watch a 0-0 draw v Sheffield Weds is not fun
