Do you miss the Premiership?

TBM · by **TBM** » 02 Sep 2009 17:17

As the title says?

Watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGBCq2Ps51Q made me kinda sad that we wont be there for a while yet

I feel sure I just put that link up, so yes, i think so .

Definately not.

Ian Royal · by **Ian Royal** » 02 Sep 2009 17:23

Hell no. I saw a total of 5 Premier League games. I get to see more than double that in one season now we're down a level!

Millsy · by **Millsy** » 02 Sep 2009 17:25

Kinda talking as though it's a thing of the past. We'll get back there soon enough. It's not like we did it and now we're nowhere.

For 135 years we were a club just dreaming of the Prem.

Now we're a club who's been there, got the T-shirt, and is a good bet for getting back up there in the next few years, albeit carefully

We're a Prem/Champ club.

We've made a quantum jump so I don't feel there's anything to miss. We're still there or thereabouts and will be for a while.

Yes.

"Liverpool have won their last 5 matches in the premier and champions league, with 21 goals scored and just one conceded. No wonder they start as strong favourites against a Reading team who have recorded only 1 victory in their last 6."

The rest is history.

For a while the World was watching, love to feel this moment again, even if I only saw most of it on the telly.

Not really. Every game in this division is more or less even, with every game's result completely unpredictable.
Obviously, I miss us appearing on MOTD and having better coverage, but no, the Premiership isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I miss not being in the Premiership but I don't miss all the over the top hype and the fact that only 4 or 5 clubs have ever got the remotest chance of winning it

I miss the extra coverage you get in the prem.

I don't miss the 8 less games a season.

Millsy · by **Millsy** » 02 Sep 2009 17:30

The prize we're fighting for in this league is the biggest financial prize in English football.

Forbury Lion · by **Forbury Lion** » 02 Sep 2009 17:32

Premiership, Championship, same difference really as far as I'm concerned.

I miss good football, goals scored and winning matches.

I actually miss division 2

Deathy · by **Deathy** » 02 Sep 2009 17:35

I miss us being in the limelight, but I don't really miss the Premiership.

I don't care what league we're in, I still look forward to every season and every game.

Premiership = annoying because you know most the fans in the away stand live around reading

So no i dont miss it really, championship games have better fans!

Because half the away end is then the home end.

Nope, I've got sky.

I do miss it and we feel a long way away from the Premiership now as well.
But that is what being a real fan is like

I honestly believe that you can't call yourself a real fan until you've made an effort to see a few games (for our Yank friends [and others living in JohhnyForeignerland] that might just be watching a game on TV or the net, it's not so much the being there, but the effort of seeking it out, the passion) and have experienced a relegation.

I think going to an away game is important as well, though to a lesser extent.

Miss the coverage and the excitement

Don't miss not being able to very expensive ticket and paying a different price dependant on who we are playing. Nor do I miss glory hunting fans who know feck all about the team hogging away tickets
