South Coast Royal As with most things in life these days people just have to put a positive spin on things and a good example has been in this thread.
The way I see it is if you want to go to little grounds for the experience then follow a non-league club.
I'm with Jacksons Corner here in that I don't want to watch crap football at crap grounds-if it is going to be crap football I would sooner go to Southampton, Leeds and Everton than to Fleetwood, Oxford, Stevenage and Port Vale.
Perhaps we are in the minority of having been there , done that and I am glad that, at least on here, some people are actually looking forward to life in the 3rd division.
I'll just say my prayers for a miracle at Huddersfield so that I can watch Southampton, Leeds and/or Everton next season rather than feel the loyalty that might well make me head off to Plymouth, Exeter, Oxford and Portsmouth.
If only the Mad Man hadn't been conned into believing in dirty Russian money-typical oxf*rd Tory.
I agree with this. I want to see the club at the best possible level. I don't think the fans of clubs like Brighton, Brentford or Fulham were saying the best football they've seen was in the bottom 2 divisions because that's where they used to win more games.
Of course, these are successful clubs, whereas we haven't been. Perhaps we do need to take a step backwards to go forwards and it's been touched on that teams have done well when going down the divisions. Well, the aforementioned Fulham and Brighton were Championship strugglers in the last 10 years, they didn't go down and look at them now.
Whatever division we play in, our success will come through managing our finances correctly and developing players through the academy. The style of football doesn't concern me, we can play in whatever way we want providing it wins games.
but we will have games at least 2 of Weds, Derby and Bolton as well as meeting Portsmouth, so not too long ago we were playing in the PL.
