[Football] Who do you want to win the Championship playoffs?

[Iggle Piggle]

Gone for Coventry for a very selfish reason. I live in Warwick so it is close plus One of my best mates used to play for them some years ago and he is always asking if I fancy going as a guest of his. I might actually say yes if it is against us.

It is ages since I last saw us at Coventry. I seem to recall we had a wonderkid called Jake Forster-Caskey playing and a striker on loan from Leeds who couldn’t hit a barn door. Might be wrong.

Like you, I'm local and Coventry would be just up the road. Weirdly, a number of their fans have turned into Billy big bollocks because they managed to finish in the top 5 in the worst championship in living memory. Another year in there with the loss of Gyokores would add a little reality to proceedings. Funny how you can go off teams quite quickly.

I'm all for seeing Luton's shitty ground gracing the Premier League.

 

[Mackenzie]

Coventry.

Not too far for me to travel.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

3 votes for Middlesbrough !!!!!!!!! Well, that’s 3 more than I expected.

 

[Official Old Man]

Luton. Easy to get to. Failing that Coventry.

 

[Giraffe]

Luton, Coventry or Sunderland.

Anyone but Middlesbrough.

 

[keaton]

Who the feck is voting for Boro?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Who the feck is voting for Boro?

Me!

 

[sully]

Another vote for anyone but Boro here, though I actually voted for Coventry.

How long ago was it that they got relegated from the top division? It feels like decades.

To be fair to them, they deserve a bit of joy and boasting. I can't lie, I'm feeling a little smug being an Albion fan at the moment, which is why it's good that I was humbled on Sunday to bring me back down to earth a little.

 

[robinsonsgrin]

Sunderland... shared my life with a fan for many years - he was allowed to wear his hat to the Fans United game. He has to endure all the shite years of the Albion and did so with good grace.
If not them, then Cov.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Sunderland.

Not played them in the league for decades. New ground away trip (though done Roker back in the day) and two matches where the horse punchers could easily be beaten in a game against a team below them.

Luton would be funny but a worse chance of away tickets than Muff so it’s a no on that basis.

Cov would have been my vote but I still don’t trust them to be ground sharing with Kidderminster so on that basis they’re out.

Boro though. Boro can f*** off.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Anyone of them apart from Bro

Having said that I have respect for Tony Mowbray …so perhaps for that reason I’m changing my mind and going for Sunderland

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Sunderland.
Convenient. Probably able to get tickets.
No desire to go back to Coventry, and the only reason I can remember where Luton is is because I happened to be talking to somebody from there last week.

 

[Toongull]

Presumably Boro wouldn’t make much of a difference to that equation either?

Wife’s family are all Sunderland fans so would rather them. Plus the stadium of light is better than the riverside.

I went to the Ricoh once for a conference, would be good to see a game there. The hospitality bars were ace! Sad the Wasps are no more though..

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Anyone but Sunderland. Cannot stand them.

Anything specific or just general dislike?
Actually, I was fairly ambivalent about Boro, but I've now remembered the twat I was chatting to in a pub in Darlo the other day who was giving me the "small club" chat about Brighton, so they can piss right off.
Also I ticked the Riverside off at the FA Cup game this season.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I have a video of us knocking Sunderland out the cup about 10 years ago ? Was the only time the entire west stand joined in with "were the North stand , we're the west stand brighton boys"
Anyway I choose Luton

 

[BN9 BHA]

Voted Coventry, because one of my neighbours supports them, and they have got an elephant on their badge…..I like elephants

I don’t like Boro or Luton.
No issue with Sunderland

 

[Whoislloydy]

I want to know which 4 have voted for Boro!?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Luton, a meteoric rise like that is normally only ever achieved on football manger.

Being the pessimist I am surely they will also take one of next year's relegation places.
