[Football] Things you miss about the Championship

[LowKarate]

Tell you what I don't miss - that "we're on our way" song. I think I had it stuck as an earworm from Christmas until May.

We sang that at West Ham the other night.

We're on our way... to the Champions League.

 

[Gazwag]

Championship is just one league where possibly one of 20 teams could win it at the start of the season, EPL is two different leagues

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

There's not one place in the Championship where I couldn't find a cracking pub. This season..Leicester? No. Watford? No West Ham? No. Arsenal? Again no. Looking forward to Huddersfield and Newcastle again though

at least Blackburn is avoided...

 

[Stuart Munday]

The referee not having to pick up the match ball from a stupid podium when the teams come out.

 

[Bry Nylon]

My passing interest in the PL used to be hoping at least one 'big' club would get humiliated by a smaller club each week.

Now I find myself in the position of wanting the 'big' clubs to stuff everybody bar us by as many goals to nil as possible each week. That takes some getting used to.

 

[pasty]

The possibility of actually winning something at the end of the season, as opposed to setting the expectation level at "being not as shit as three other clubs"

 

[Buzzer]

We sang that at West Ham the other night.

We're on our way... to the Champions League.

Yeah..and my mate misheard and went ballistic. Thought they were singing "to the Championship"

 

[Goldstone1976]

The possibility of actually winning something at the end of the season, as opposed to setting the expectation level at "being not as shit as three other clubs"

Exactly this. Hopefully, in a couple of seasons, we can aspire to an expectation of mid-table mediocrity.

 

[sparkie]

Miss the evening kickoffs as well.

Looking forward though to the Stoke and Palace weekday games.

In the spirit of the new NSC advertising thing, has anyone else seen these on scAmazon? 3 pairs for £12.99 incl P&P. Result.

Are they glow in the dark?

Fox and Hounds by the Home end is a good pub and the locals are friendly

 

[Weststander]

The referee not having to pick up the match ball from a stupid podium when the teams come out.

That's such a cringeworthy and w*nky act.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Tell you what I don't miss - that "we're on our way" song. I think I had it stuck as an earworm from Christmas until May.

Was sung at West Ham wasn’t it?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The midweek games, with out a doubt.

Evening matches have always been my favourite.
The championship is absolutely rammed with Tuesday night fixtures.

Looking forward to Stoke and Palace.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Away fans that actually make some noise.

 

[W.C.]

The feeling that you might just win it.

 

[OzMike]

Always missed mid week games anyway
We seem to do better when we don't play at 3pm on Saturday.

 

[hitony]

The "used to be" comment (for away games) "Is it Pay on the Gate"? ........... Doubt that will ever be heard again for the PL

 

[Klaas]

Listening to Radio Sussex.

Sitting next to actual Brighton fans at games.
