View From The Top Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 As it says in the title? I'm going to assume Newcastle and Brighton are going to stay as the top 2, I'd like either Sheffield Wednesday or Huddersfield, but my preference would be Wednesday. Always good for a decent pint, good fans and a traditional style ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 Brighton. Reading. Hudds. - Good battles with them in different leagues. - 2 of them close to home. - All 3 likely to go straight back down again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 For away day fun and frolics - Newcastle, Brighton and Reading If not Reading, I'd like to see Leeds (good night out) or Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 I'm going to be unpopular and say Leeds. I know the older fans who remember Revie's "dirty Leeds" team won't agree but I think it would be good to see them up again. They've got Monk and Beattie in charge and I'd like to see them have a decent swing at the top level. Plus it really annoys Man Utd when they beat them.

5string Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 NOT Brighton. Would rather they lost every game from now on & got relegated or out of business, or shut down for tax reasons or something. Just, not (though I suspect they will, dammit). Don't care who else. Sorry, not constructive I know. Oh, go on then: Newcastle, Huddersfield, Sheff Wed... ... because I'm not a great fan of Reading or Leeds and I don't like Brighton (you may have picked up on this).

saintwbu Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 As above, definitely not Brighton. Went to their game at home to Cardiff two weeks ago and my god it was THE worst atmosphere I have ever witnessed in a professional football ground, truly dreadful. Just a ground full (well, not full, half empty) of neutrals like myself with no songs and no banter. Awful. Also bang average side with a good front line. Newcastle, Huddersfield, Leeds for me. Sheffield Wednesday would be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenilworthy Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 Not Brighton. After the antics of 2011 and New Year's day 2012 if I never visit the AMEX again it will be too soon. Sadly though they are as good as up. It's a long way to Newcastle but I enjoy going there. Please not Norwich, they are always abject at Carrow Road but still win 1-0. I would love Sheffield Wednesday to come up via the play-offs. Huddersfield would be ok, but I am never going to drive there and get caught in the traffic gridlock around their stadium again.

Pamplemousse Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 Brighton would be fun, we've got more of a rivalry with them then we do with Bournemouth. And they have a more intense rivalry with Palace so at least their fans wouldn't obsess about us. I really would like Leeds to go up. There are some dreadful teams with dreadful fans in this division - Hull, for example. The games against Leeds generally created a great atmosphere at SMS, and I like their passionate fans.

Sheaf Saint Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 I live in Sheffield and most of my mates are Wednesday fans, so I would like to see them come up.

L1Minus10 Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 Not Brighton. I work there. Most of their fans have them as their second team, their first being one of the Big 6, usually Chelsea. Not Derby. Fans are special Not Reading. Tinpot Not Norwich - just no.

Minsk Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 It looks like it will be Newcastle and Brighton plus one, although I would rather neither of them do. Of the two, I suppose I would rather Newcastle make it, for their fans, history, etc; yet, they would almost certainly stay up whereas Brighton could easily drop back down. Anyway, probably moot point, as already said I think they will both go up. Would love to see Brentford and Burton Albion go up, but absolutely no chance. If I could chose my three, from those near the top, it would be: Huddersfield (I have a good mate who goes to most of their matches); Norwich (I've always had a soft spot for them); and either Sheff Wed (preferable) or Leeds (because of Monk and Beats) - two team with history, but far from what they were. So, I guess, if Newcastle and Brighton are 'nailed on' I want Huddersfield to come up with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 Ignoring Newcastle and Brighton who'll more than likely do it (and both are great **** ups to be fair) I'm going to go with Leeds.

Badger Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 Newcastle, don't mind Brighton coming up to be honest, local game etc leaving the skates further down the south coast hierachy.Reading for the same reason, decent local fixture. If Reading don't do it then Huddersfield or even Norwich. Don't want it to be Leeds, no matter how "big" they are, just can't take to the club (legacy of 60's and 70's perhaps but that's it). Wednesday - no thanks,always a bogey club in the 80's & 90's. Derby ? big "f^ck off" to them (play offs and all that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 Can totally understand the longing for the traditional heavyweights of yesterday to be restored to the top flight (Leeds, Wednesday etc) as I miss those days too. However, can't really begrudge or belittle clubs with similar ambitions and finances as us as small clubs because we're in that very same cluster of best of the rests. FWIW, quite enjoy Swansea being a top level club (Bournemouth still seems a bit weird though, as does Boro as it's been a while). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ideally love Brentford and QPR to get promoted but there's not much chance of that... Same for me, although without a season ticket it can be pretty tricky getting tickets for the smaller grounds in London. That's what makes Fulham's "neutral end" so useful! Would find it funny if Newcastle failed to get promotion. I also think about competitors for Saints - Newcastle and Leeds could eventually establish themselves as top-half sides, which isn't great for us. Reading & Huddersfield are much more likely to be strugglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
