Why promotion is bad for Albion

[halbpro]

Away matches (at places like Chelsea and Arsenal) will be the preserve of the richest rather than the most passionate

While not incredibly cheap, those away games are capped at £30 next season. Which is obviously bad, because... er... the free market something something?

The last few days has shown many of our supporters are unable to cope with decisions made by elite Premier League Referees ..... for their sanity and well being it's best we give the Prem a miss. #together

This is madness. Would you really want to miss out on away days at Bournemouth, Watford, Burnley, Boro and have to make do with Villa Park, St James'Park etc ?

I was wondering actually if you guys would invest if you went up. What's the likelihood?

We spent just £6m in 2012/13 and it wasn't a particularly enjoyable season. We actually ended up playing most of the season with a left back who ended up in League Two six months later. The fact we didn't finish bottom is a testament to how shocking QPR are...

The official line is that it is so hard to get up that the club would invest enough to stay there rather than have to do it all over again.

It's also a brewery town, Keep the froth

Burton Albion is a great ground to visit. I loved our cup game there a couple of years ago.

Tony Bloom is pretty shrewd, we'd make good use of overseas scouting I would imagine.

The board will be infected by them up the road, every game comparing our result to theirs, comparing squads etc... And for those 2 games......it will be like a plague of rats on here.

A guaranteed Monday night game at The Riverside.

Being inundated with a stream of vague acquaintances who now profess to be your bestest mate, oh and by the way can you get me a ticket for the Chelsea/ManU/Arsenal/ManCity* match please

Nobody wants that when we can have a Tuesday night at St James Park

Lots of melts turning up for home games from other clubs. Last thing we need is thousands of desmonds in town when it should be for home lads only. They never buy mutch at the farmers market either so no point me making extra jam

Following last night's horror show and shocking bad luck, any short-termist glory hunters will dissipate over the close season.

Albion's loss will be Chelsea's gain.....or more to the point, West Ham's new shiny stadium will no doubt prove a magnet for the disingenuous few....

I enjoy the chase, the chase of possible promotion is far more exciting than fighting relegation

Very good point. Cheered me up. Who would you have rather followed this season, Boro, Brighton, Burnley, or Villa, Norwich, Newcastle?
