Guest Stevie Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 IF we go down it's going to be a fucking scrap, it's stating the obvious but we are not guaranteed to piss the division, here's my little guide to what's what in that league, as most of you have never seen these clubs, towns and sides. Newcastle United Ave att: 38000 Middlesbrough - will keep most of their side together Away Day: 6 Promotion Prospects: 9 Ave att: 21000 Leicester - resurgent and Mandaric will surely invest Away Day: 7 Promotion Prospects: 7 Ave Att: 27000 Reading - never beaten them away Away Day: 3 Promotion Prospects: 6 Ave Att: 17000 QPR - owned by the richest man in Britain, they will spend Away Day: 8 Promotion Prospects: 7 Ave Att: 15000 Burnley - can turn anyone over Away Day: 6 Promotion Prospects: 7 Ave Att: 13000 Blackpool - shite Away Day: 10 Promotion Prospects: 2 Ave Att: 7000 Bristol City - battlers Away Day: 5 Promotion Prospects: 5 Ave Att: 15000 Cardiff City - good side, that ugly ginger jock cunt is the best player in this league Away Day: 8 Promotion Prospects: 8 Ave Att: 20000 Millwall - will be a mid table CCC team Away Day: 9 Promotion Prospects: 5 Ave Att: 12000 Coventry City - wank Away Day: 2 Promotion Prospects: 4 Ave Att: 19000 Crystal Palace - Warnock can get one over on anyone Away Day: 4 Promotion Prospects: 5 Ave Att: 17000 Derby County - shite Away Day: 5 Promotion Prospects: 4 Ave Att: 22000 Ipswich Town - millionaire going to give the new manager limitless funds Away Day: 8 Promotion Prospects: 7 Ave Att: 22000 Peterborough - money behind them Away Day: 8 Promotion Prospects: 5 Ave Att: 8000 Nottingham Forest - shite Away Day: 7 Promotion Prospects: 3 Ave Att: 17000 Plymouth Argyle - shite Away Day: 0 Promotion Prospects: 3 Ave Att: 13000 Preston North End - should be beating them but can string results together Away Day: 7 Promotion Prospects: 6 Ave Att: 16000 West Brom - probably more creative than us, and proven winners of this division Away Day: 5 Promotion Prospects: 9 Ave Att: 19000 Sheffield Wednesday - shite club, shite everything, all this they're so loyal, they were wank even when they were up Away Day: 6 Promotion Prospects: 4 Ave Att: 21000 Swansea City - mid table side Away Day: 6 Promotion Prospects: 5 Ave Att: 15000 Watford - mid table side Away Day: 5 Promotion Prospects: 4 Ave Att: 12000 Barnsley - shite Away Day: 7 Promotion Prospects: 3 Ave Att: 11000 Doncaster - shite Away Day: 5 Promotion Prospects: 1 Ave Att: 9000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yep, it bothers me that there's teams down there who are used to that league and will probably have more money to spend than us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Quite a few Yorkshire/Lancs away trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4389 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Some good away trips which as I said before I'll be making more of - depending on the timing I'd agree with Plymouth as a 0 if its in the depths of Winter but it was an excellent day out when we went ther in late April/May in 1990. Of course I realise its a pisser of an actual trip for those in the NE but surely a chance for a weekend. New grounds for me: Leicester, Doncaster, Blackool, Cardiff, Swansea, Millwall, Coventry.

snakehips 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm not a betting man, but if Boro can keep most of their team (Downing will go for deffo) - and get a decent Championship striker - they would be a good bet to bounce straight back up. Far better placed than us imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douggy B 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I would love to know where you got those figures from Stevie. Derby rarely fall below 25K for home games and are usually nearer the 30K mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6613 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I cant see us coming straight back up. Its very difficult to get out of that league and we 'll probably get rid of ~10 playing staff at least. That sort of turnover cant help with fluidity although it is essential.

trophyshy 7083 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 What about the backroom cuts that will be made to streamline the business? Who knows where else FMA will swing the axe? The potential repercussions are mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just down the road for me, shant be missing that one! Theyve not done bad at all to stay in the Championship. I like Plymouth, they have a good rapport with Torquay fans.

They have had pretty stable gates despite being rubbish since dropping out of the prem. What makes you draw that conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had pretty stable gates despite being rubbish since dropping out of the prem. What makes you draw that conclusion? What one season where they were expected to bounce straight back where season tickets were cheap as chips in you purchased before April? Look at their gates prior to that 22000-25000 not bad, but there's one club in Deryshire and a population of 1m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Making light of relegation, I'll definitely be going to the Newcastle Forest game, hopefully I could wangle a ticket in the away end, although it would probably sell out. The Reading matches are a given of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reading matches are a given of course. I think it's quite possible that if we were relegated there would be more clubs bringing 3,000 plus here than in the Premiership, as it truly would be their Cup Final for many of them.

Guest Stevie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 We'll have more fans away next season than this, these are allocations we can expect: Middlesbrough 5000 Leicester 3000 Reading 4000 QPR 3000 Blackpool 1750 Bristol City 2500 Cardiff City 3000 Coventry City 6000 Crystal Palace 7000 Derby County 3000 Ipswich Town 3000 Peterborough 6000 Nottingham Forest 4000 Plymouth Argyle 3000?

I was in the Reading end with Meenzer both premiership games and the club didn't like our persistant standing. Didn't sell us beer the second season, and so I'd imagine they'd punish the fans further by selling fewer tickets this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll give us the full end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
