Championship Football ..

[Adz1871]

How many of you can admit you prefer the Premiership to the Championship?? ... I for one enjoyed the Championship due to these reasons ..

1} No Media Drama (I.E Cech Incident)
2} No Constant Change Of K.O Times Due To Sky Sports
3} Easier To Get Tickets For Away Trips
4} Anything Is Possible (I.E Derby County Top Of The League)
5} No Plastics

Not sure

How many of you can admit you prefer the Premiership to the Championship?? ... I for one enjoyed the Championship due to these reasons ..

1} No Media Drama (I.E Cech Incident) - Nice to be noticed
2} No Constant Change Of K.O Times Due To Sky Sports - Happens in the Championship, OK not as often
3} Easier To Get Tickets For Away Trips - whoopee Colchester, Southend, thinks I prefer the stadiums we have visited with proper facilities (except Pompey of course)
4} Anything Is Possible (I.E Derby County Top Of The League) - Reading in the top half... bloomin' miracle
5} No Plastics

- not that old debate, at least they dilute the regular moaning barstewards I used to sit next to.

Also we have been welcomed into the Premiership as a breath of fresh air (OK, with the occasional patronising tap on the head), wheras at least we don't have all those ex-Premier teams for whom a fixture with Reading was a sign of just how far they had fallen.

I am saddened by what Reading has become - a club full of plastics and mourn the days of die hard fans standing around me, watching the club they love.

However to answer your question:

1) not much of a problem: the flip side is we get to be in the media far more.

2) A bit annoying I agree. Flip side is of course the money.

3) Easier to get tickets for home too! Flip side: we're getting more capacity

4) Even now anything is possible - look at what we've achieved!

5) No plastics in the Championship? Last season is when they all started to jump on the bandwagon.

I totally miss the good old Reading though.

Anyone who prefers Reading to be in a lower division over the one that they currently are in is clearly a fool.

I must admit I preferred the CCC.....

The cost of Prem football is exorbitant - and I resent not being able to go to all the aways like I used to.

Even worse than some of the 'plastics' is the influx of those pretending to have been fans for years.....

Never mind - you might be back there in a couple of seasons.

In response to your answer for number 4 and 5 ... What i meant by number 4 was that there aren't just 4 top teams .. anyone can beat anyone. number 5 .. But only when we went clear at the top. I remember a certain friday night at home to Forest when there weren't that many turned up.

At least we will not be in administration!

Sorry, but as enjoyable as the Championship is, and it is a decent league, I wouldn't swap being in the top flight. This is what it's all about.

Odd, that's not how I remember things in the Championship !!!

Out of interest would preople prefer Div 1 to the Championship and Div 2 to Div 1 and the Conference to Div 2 as presumably all the 'negatives' diminish further down the chain.

If so I recommend you visit the Kassam for your football fix....

Wtf? .. All i asked was that if people prefered Championship football to Premiership football? .. Also can you name me the top 4 teams then??
Think before typing .. It helps

[Behindu]

ADZ, just because you are a bit thick don't presume everyone else is....

Do you REALLY recall everyone beating everyone else last season, cos I don't....

Me neither

[Adz1871]

Behindu .. No, I didnt say everyone beat everyone else .. I said they could.

Realistically do you expect Watford to beat Man United?? .. There is more chance of Leeds beating Derby!

I dont think everyone is a bit thick .. just yourself!
