Thought this wasn't allowed anymore since Bournemouth at Charlton a few years ago?

Well, provided we win, that is a bit of good news

 

[Jimmehh]

No - because we'll get a trophy no matter what - 2nd place get a trophy and medals as well now

 

[ThePolishJig]

Great news.

 

[Mr Putdown]

I guess they've got two winners and two runners up trophies then.

I thought we won the title after the Wigan game.

No, that game meant we 'won' at least £100,000,000.00 to spend as we see fit.

The champions win a cup worth about £5,000.00.

I,m quite happy we focused all our efforts on the first item. The second one is just a bit of fun.

No we didn't but I think our players did.

With Leeds being almost equidistant between Newcastle and Villa, why not have the trophy there so the fans of the biggest club in the world can look at it before it is flown off to whoever wins it in a helicopter

I'd wager the trophy will be at St. James' Park as they've got a cracker of a chance to win it and I believe the league would greatly prefer a home presentation.

This, great idea.

Thought we'd already won the league?
Why else would injured payers be crowd surfing on trains or charging down West st on a bank holiday Monday?

Seriously. This is getting boring now. Winning promotion was a huge thing. We've never been in the Premier League and not been in the top flight for 34 years. Would you rather the players just went straight home after the Wigan game?

"A few years"? It was only two seasons ago, where Bournemouth were awarded the trophy at the Valley.

Burnley missed out on the same joy last season at the Football League's insistence, but that was purely because of the ongoing protests by Charlton fans against the club's owners and the fear they would ruin any celebrations.

Other than that, plenty of teams have received trophies at other club's grounds. The only reason for not doing it would be in similar circumstances as above, or, I imagine, if a club were to win the title at the ground of a deadly rival.

Or at Millwall maybe

Do runners up also get a trophy? (noticed Bolton received a runners up trophy) Cue a guaranteed trophy presentation at Villa! Proud of the lads either way but a Winners trophy would put the icing on the cake.

And it was all very civilised at Charlton, as you would expect. Well - there was a bit of aggro down the main drag where the pubs are after, but the club did themselves proud that day. But I presume they will be able to give you the trophy at Villa OK? They'll be fine and quite pleased Newcastle didn't win it I presume also...

Good point RE: Millwall. You can see them stealing the trophy and it ending up pride of place in a local pub...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Confirmed by the League.

I'd personally rather they celebrated but left enough in the tank to not whimper out and not be able to win a single of our last 3 games.

Charlton was 2 years ago - that's a few years, therefore what I said was correct...

As for allowed - I'm just going on what they said last season - making it out that it wouldn't be given at an away ground anymore...

 

[hopkins]

Perhaps they have a duplicate ? You could run one of those trophies up for £100 just to make the fans think it's the real thing. To be fair the players could an inflatable willy and the fans would cheer, want to touch it and have a photo with it.
