S-Platt Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2019 I really enjoyed the last couple of years especially the last 3 months and yes I will take more of an interest in Championship games. I hope Forest, Derby and Sheff Weds follow us up next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I hope forest and Derby come up next year. Derby are. Proper club. Their fans were great yesterday. Respect to them. Forest as well I really like them as a club. Best of luck to both of you next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Would love to see a few clubs down here sort themselves out and get back to the top division. Forest and Wednesday, purely for soft spot reasons. And Bristol City. I just think it would be great for footie in the land of Rugby and Cricket. They have a massive catchment area. Even though the manager is a bit of a word removed. Would be great for the city and I like Bristol. With any luck we wont be back down here in 2020-2021 It's been a rollercoaster ride. Time to go upwards for a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted May 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just a note to wish any Derby supporters reading this all the best for next season. Us losing last season’s final was a blessing in disguise, every chance you could be there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 One of the first championship games I ever watched was the famous 4-4 between Charlton and Sunderland in 1998 PO final. You also had SHA and Wolves always failing in the play offs in the late 90s/early 00s aswell. Big fan of all the lower leagues in England tbh although didn't pay huge amount of interest in league 2 which will have to change now with Walsall depressingly dropping into that level. It will feel wierd we're not part of it and me having to tune into MOTD again with more than a passing interest. One thing I will certainly miss is the midweek games. I quite liked the quick fire nature of Saturday-Tuesday and we had some ridiculous brilliant midweek games this year, the classic 5-5 v Forest and 3-3s with Preston and Sheffield United which weren't just really good games but pretty significant in terms of our season. Think premier league only has 1-2 midweek fixtures outside of xmas. A Monday night "showdown" with Brighton won't quite feel the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also lost in 2016, and in 2014 (in the most heartbreaking way) so I'm pretty sure their fans might disagree about how losing in them ultimately turns out to be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets straight to the action and doesn't **** around with Danny Murphy or whoever pointing the tiniest mistakes in a defensive back line after each match. MOTD is good for Villa games as they discuss in so much detail, but I much prefer Quest showing brief clips of, say, Wigan 0-0 Bolton rather than having to sit through 10 mins of Brighton 0-0 West Ham and then listen to all the analysis afterwards. Each to their own, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
