Yes, but with a squad you believe is PL quality. That is where our views diverge!

Would you consider throwing a game or two, to purposely avoid promotion?

No I didn't think so. Any game you play, you play to win, otherwise there's no point in playing at all and that goes for any sport, whether it's football, darts, or table tennis.

You play to win. The only games I've heard of where you play to lose are due to gambling/fixing...

I think it’s you who need to explain why it isn’t good for us
As it’s ****jng stupid to say it
Why it would be terrible to have a sell out every week
World wide exposure
Pubs and bars full everywhere on match days
Kids taking more interest and start supporting us

ye you’re right ****ing disaster

And get relegated the following season maybe, do a Blackpool or a Derby? I'd rather see us build a better squad and go for it next season.
Pubs and bars will fill up if we start winning championship games regularly because they'll believe we're capable of going up, kids'll start taking an interest if we look like going up. Right now we lose a game and some folk are saying we're useless, those same folk would love to see us go up then straight down again.

Realistically, the only chance most clubs have of getting a Premier League ready squad, is by getting an extra £100m for promotion. There's rarely any clubs that go up with a squad ready for the Premier League, unless they were only relegated the season before and managed to hold on to most of their squad.

But there's ready and ready enough, right now I think we're a way off ready enough. Another decent window and next season could see us consolidate and go for it.

Totally agree, you play to win and deliberately avoiding promotion is nonsensical.

I agree to an extent. If Luton, for example, go up this year, they’ll struggle imo and come straight back down.

I don't feel sorry. Its a privelige to go to a footie match on a Tuesday night and tbf to Norwich they were good.

We lost. Its part of ****ing supporting city. Why is there a thing nowadays where support is contingent on results?

Plus it was a freebie for most!
 
Reflecting on last night it's shows just how far we have to go but also the difference in resources. They spent £5m on Gunn, almost £10m on Sargent, £6m on Sara, £10m on Tzolis and £6m on Dowell. Throw in a wage bill that will be double ours and it shows how tough it's going to be to compete

They have 22,000 pass holders and have sold them out for the last 16 seasons, at higher prices than ours, also have higher match day prices. Since 2008 we have both spent 1 season in League 1, we have spent 5 seasons in the PL they have spent 6, the rest in the Championship. However they have never had a league crowd under 23,000, our lowest is 10,000 The only season we averaged more than them was our first season in the PL, and only by 300 as they got relegated from the Championship. The following season they averaged more in League 1 than we did in the PL. They spent their money better. They increased the capacity and can fill it within a couple of hundred unlike the MKM where there has to be acres of segregation because of poor design. Their owners are only worth £30 million but the have built a state of the art training centre. They also have fans willing to pay for away matches. We took 2,500 to Stoke of which about 700 paid the get there themselves. They took over 2,200 80 miles greater distance to Bristol all of who paid. All from a city with a population 100,000 less than Hull.

So you have a better club than we do. Better fans, better City, everything.

Nah I'll stick to Hull City, ta :emoticon-0105-wink:

Everyone said that in 2008. We were going to beat Derby's low points record. We didn't listen though, went and won at Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle in our first couple of months instead.

Completely disagree. By January/February 2008 that team was on fire and was a perfect mix of talented youth and wise old heads who'd been there and done it, not forgetting momentum. Forget what the pundits predicted. By February I, for one, was confident we'd go up.
