Never mind waiting for the start of the new season Not606 have already dispatched us to the realms of the Championship. Bloody sadists.
Thank you for that touching rendition ccfc. However, I'm pretty sure that when we were promoted, we weren't elevated to the Prem on Not606 until just before the season started in July/August. It's bloody victimisation. Infamy, infamy, they've all got it...........
Don't know about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to this season. The old cliché of the grass isn't always greener is ringing true for me. I went to Old Trafford, Anfield, Hull....... and a load of others, it was great but I'm really looking forward to competing in a league rather than struggling our bollocks off each week. The fact we're apparently going to play 5 up front with 5 strikers on the bench only adds to the excitement
Huddersfield, Brentford & Rotherham instead of Barnsley, Yeovil & Doncaster. Other than that all other clubs are ex top flight clubs in recent years, even Millwall at a stretch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014–15_Football_League_Championship
Leeds, Sheff Wednesday, Derby and Forest at a guess, or Wolves vice Forest. I am also looking forward to next season, I have a feeling its going to be good.
But have those been measured against our increased capacity? At around 33k we could be higher than some of those. What about Brighton and Naaaarwich? Time to research I think. I'm looking forward to it as well. Sad to see some players go who could have done well for us in the Championship, but excited at the new ones coming in. There is one downside though, the Bloody Football League Show. I have trouble stying up to watch MoTD after a nice bottle of red. I'll be comatose by the time Manish arrives and I hate Steve "boring tw@t" Claridge.
Sheffield Wednesday Hillsborough 39,812 Leeds United Elland Road 39,460 Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium 34,742 Derby County Pride Park 33,597 Cardiff City Cardiff City Stadium 32,000
Do they ever fill the Riverside? Forgotten about them. I thought we were going to 33.3k? Still be 5th though.
I'm looking forward to next season aswell. I will go to four or five home matches as I do most seasons. Didn't go to any last season due to the ridiculous number of season tickets sold. I refused to pay fifty quid for the 'privelege' of going on a list for available tickets.
Very wise. For locational reasons I only attended 8 games last season on my Gold ticket. On each occasion the seats on offer were absolute pants. Mostly I found myself in the front row where the view is a combination of Stewards who are continually on the move, photographers who bounce up and down and the players ankles. I'm looking forward to next season when hopefully I will get a better seat and the games more competitive.
The championship is the best league to play in for excitement but little money compared to the premiership and that's the reason why owners want to be there. The revenue is huge and over the top and should be better distributed down the divisions imo. It wont of course because the TV companies wont allow it as they want the premiership in their pockets and are willing to pay big bucks to decide who plays on which day and what time the kick off is...Playing on a Monday night to accommodate sky is a nightmare for some fans but we have no choice in the matter.....
Don't have Sky. If I did I would never get anything else done. There is life beyond football................................or so my wife tells me.
Your stadium looks good, fair play. I worked at the stadium this week, the expansion really changes the feel of the place.
