Walliver 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Bristol City look like they're about to win their tie and with Hull 2-0 up after the first leg in theirs, it looks a bit like we're going to get two teams in the Premiership for the first time next season. Is this a good thing? Is it better to have teams like Stoke coming up or would you prefer teams with a bit more history coming up?

Andrew 4855 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'd prefer teams with the financial clout and infrastructure to compete to come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_cann 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Your looking at West Brom struggling but could pull through as they play some decent football...the other two you just can't see staying up no matter who they are. Could we have two derby-esque clubs next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6700 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 How many of you gave Wigan or Reading a prayer when they came up? Yet both had brilliant debut seasons. Rather than a club with the infrastructure and financial clout, i'm more looking for the dogged determination of a team of players who get together and fight for results - that's the romance of the game which over the years has been sadly lost in favour of all the technical shite.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Didn't we have a thread last week saying we'd rather have the likes of Leeds, Forest, Sheff.Wed and Ipswich back in the top flight, rather than non-entities like Wigan, Reading etc? When will the bookies have the prices up for Stoke and Bristol/Hull to come straight back down again? Odds-on surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 you can count on one hand the amount of clubs who've been promoted to the premiership and not struggled in their first 3 seasons though... Doesn't matter who goes up, they're likely to struggle - might as well have a club that'll provide entertainment in doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 878 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I do want to see Trundle in the Premier League, and I'm proud of Bristol City who are on the brink of two successive promotions. Following their relegation, they'd probably have a solid financial base and they could begin on their success and become a powerful Championship team.

Wavey Davey 0 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I do miss the likes of Sheff Wed, Notts Forest and the like in the prem if only for nostalgic reasons. I kind of get a little buzz for the teams that get into the prem that haven't been before. Then the fans' attitude winds me up and i want them to fuck off as quickly as possible.

I remember a game at the old Victoria Ground had to be called off after a storm blew some of the roof on the main stand off. Must have been early 70's.
