A lot of things.

 

Visiting new grounds.

 

Long Tuesday night trips to Hartlepool

Winning more games than we're used to

No international breaks

Terraces. Especially Peterborough's one

Being hated by almost everyone

Having nearly half the attendance at some away games

Sadly, the JPT

An easy chance of Wembley with the JPT.

Excitement.

Making Premiership attendances look cack compared to a League One club.

Playing clubs we haven't played in years.

 

Aside from that nothing springs to mind. I've been desperate to see us get back to the Championship, I really enjoyed our spell there. I don't even care about the Premiership, as long as we don't sink from the nPC anytime soon. Or ever, ever again. :-)

no international breaks

and as someone above said, going to small poor clubs and seeing that they still have proper fans even though a Prem outfit is just down the road. Like Oldham.

 

To be honest, I have really enjoyed being in L1. Won't be sad to leave it but it does have its moments.

As I said on another thread

 

One of the best things about league 1 is it's made us bring in players who for the first time in years appear to appericate playing for saints. Players who have been down in the lower leagues for much of their careers and know being at southampton is a good place to be. Far better than teams of overpriced journeymen and forgeiners that made up our teams for the last few years long may it continue.

 

Also as others have said It's been fun being the billy big ******** of the league. Oh and ticket prices as well.

I nearly started a similar thread the other day. My final memories of the Premiership were of players happy to take money out of the club without putting anything back in. Right now it feels like the squad are playing for the club. I want Saints to win every game they play and get promotion from every league, but if rising through the leagues means losing any of the spirit it feels like we have right now then I will definitely miss that

Playing teams with real supporters.

JPT

Leaving games with a smile (cus we have won again)

No international breaks.

Don't know why but I have enjoyed being in the early round of th cups.

 

yeah, fairplay to all those supporters whose teams will very likely never progress beyond L1, they still keep going, thats true support

One thing L1 has shown me is that Saints have one of the best sets of true fans in the country. Consistently having the crowds we have had shows just how many real Southampton fans there are, opposed to a lot of Prem clubs who only have crowds of a similar size due to the fact they are in the Premiership

the lesser amount of traffic on a match day trying to get away from sms than champ or prem games ...being able to guarantee a ticket for pretty much every home game on the day (still a probability tbh) ...being at the lower end of english football all the nob head arsenal fans etc all have treated me with added respect for following 'sh1t football' lol

The terraces.

 

In a way the old fashioned simplicity and honesty of league 1. Felt at times we were going back to the old days.

Some of the fans from League 1 were 'real football' supporters, knowledgeable, stoical and loyal. No plastics in league 1.

Glad to leave league 1, but with some good memories.

Totally agree.

League 1 clubs are much friendlier and as you say 'Felt at times we were going back to the old days'.

Don't think that any of those of us who have done away games in L1 would argue with that.
