[Albion] Boro Away - Ticket info post #83 "attendance data will be obtained from Middlesbrough"

Interesting tweet and replies from a Wigan fan: https://twitter.com/WeahsCousin/status/956653639837388806

I'm with him and other respondents - would rather win the FA Cup than scrape together 38 points. You don't tell your grandkids about the time your team came 17th in the league!

100% with the Wigan fan.

It’s sad that survival is seen as more important than winning, but that’s money and football in the modern world.

Why can't we stay in the premier league AND win the cup?
Works for me

No, but they might be asking you about the sole season the club spent in the Premier League 50 years ago.

In the same way that kids were asking us about our seasons in the top flight 30+ years ago last season?

We've been there before. I was 14-years-old when we were relegated from Division 1 and spent most of my Albion years outside the top flight. They were fantastic years, despite nearly going bust. And we nearly went bust because of mismanagement and crookery.

There is life outside of the Premier League.
