Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

How many teams have gone straight back down out of the 15 that have gone up in the last 5 years?

Fuck knows, but you'd be one of them without serious additions.

2/15 Yeovil and MK Dons. If we manage to get up wed strengthen enough to stay up I'm sure of it.

Donny?

 

[QPR_Matt]

We had more than 3200 at Fulham. We got given the full allocation and there was only about 100 left. No idea if they say it on QPR programmes, I never buy them.

Sky games and Sunday KO have made ours look worse than they actually are.

 

[blademan89]

Donny?

Yes but still only 20% of teams so the odds of staying up favour the promoted teams. Anyway a lot of work to be done before we get there yet anyway.

That's why I asked how wealthy your owners were, was wondering if you could still compete financially in this division.

Look at Bolton, they've got the same side they had last season and they're still above you.

Yes I'm pretty sure we will be more wealthy than at least half the clubs.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

We're 7th in the league well in the promotion picture, unless you get some serious backing you've got no chance.

I didn't say wed be challenging the fucking playoffs I said we'd be wealthy enough to stay up then build on it from there.

Chill out pal, he meant you catching us......

We probably will in a few years. You were better than us for ten years we were better than you for 10 years you've now been better for 5 again plus a few more to come. All generally goes in little cycles

Maybe but you blew you're big chance, if we do I'll be embarrassed.....and fuck your tax return pal

Hahaha you've gotta get there 1st to have the chance. And this year it's the playoffs at best again.

Does seem to go in cycles, you had 70s we then had 20 years, (you were a division above us for 1 season, but even the most biased blade would struggle to put up a reasonable arguement, for you having the better team as it was our promotion and league cup winning year) you then had 10 years and we are now at 5 years and counting, even looking at it from a non biased perspective I would be very surprised to see you catch us in the next few years, expect to be better than you lot for at least another 5 years, unless something drastic happens at either club. Hopefully you will never catch us again in my life time, actually fuck that, hopefully you will never catch us. Having said that would love to see both in PL,as long as we finished higher and won the Derby matches.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

I'll be honest I'd love to never play United again in the league, be quite happy turning up at the lane with our second string in the cup though and smashing em.

Yes we are a fair way behind currently but I suppose it depends how long it takes you to go up and wether ffp might become an issue.

Be a brave manager to play a 2nd string team in a Sheffield derby

As good as that would be, sometimes you have to think about the city, rather than just our football clubs. The extra money coming into other businesses in the city if both clubs were in the PL would be in the 10s of millions, that can only be good for Sheffield without the feel good factor it would also produce. Would much rather play em (and beat em) in PL (or a repeat of the Wembley derby match) than in the league where our most recent derbies have been played.

Think he meant the checkatrade or whatever its called cup.

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

Back on subject sf or any other Preston fans know how many your expecting to bring on Saturday? Guessing around 2k?

Not at the prices you charge, i'd halve that.

In fairness, it only took you a couple of seasons of good investment to turn yourselves into a decent side at this level.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

United haven't got a pot to piss in but McCabe is boxing clever and trying to get some of the Chinese cash floating in the city to head United's way!

Exactly. Need to get up 1st though. Without a doubt will be invested in heavily by the Chinese as the entire area around the ground is.

804 Wolves. Cracking effort at £37 a pop.

£37 for a fucking Thursday night sky game, robbing set of twats. And yes another good following from wolves

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Cracking turnout and duly rewarded.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Considering the circumstances it's impressive. Had a ticket myself but had to sell it last minute... regretting that decision now.

 

[villa loyal]

decent effort from wolves considering the price and form.

2150 sold out for Cardiff on Jan 2nd and only restricted views left for QPR two weeks Sunday with our allocation being 3120.

 

[QPR_Matt]

Arent tickets £33? then cheaper if you go towards the wings? That is what they are in the Loft and you arent allowed to charge more for the same standard seats - or so I thought.
