The Championship is only better if you're winning more often that not, which by definition will mean you are competing for promotion. People forget that this club spent 17 seasons in the Championship and people enjoyed it so much they stopped coming to games en masse and PR was half-empty. |  | | |

Been my argument for ages. I hope never have to see us play another Championship match in what's left of my lifetime. And I'll happily take a few tonkings along the way with it. |
I agree I was almost hoping we'd miss out and get the playoffs and stay down at the end last season (although raw instinct and emotion got the better of me by the last eight games obvs!). Basically what needs to happen is those corporate brands - who've already got their 'Super League' by any other name leaving us twiddling our thumbs most midweeks - disappear to play these other corporate monoliths and let the rest of us get on with proper football against other clubs who still have a proper link to their communities.
It's so patronising being told we should be so excited about playing in the Premiersh*t when we all know it's absolutely rubbish compared to what football used to be - one of the reasons why they're so keen to make 92-93 'year zero'. I even had a Man Utd "fan" the other week trying to tell me "the big clubs have always dominated" - which is total nonsense unless you believe this cr*p peddled by the BBC that football pre 90s never existed. | | | |

It's more competitive across the board, it certainly isn't better.
I had this argument on here with some throughout our last PL campaign when people were desperate to drop back down, absolute madness.
You want to be in the Premier League, it is the biggest and best league in the world, it attracts the best players, and is the highest standard around the world, on what planet would you not want to be at that table.
The aim is to build your way towards Brighton and Bournemouth, have seen some incredible football and footballers come through their clubs, and are now really able to sustain PL status, challenge for European tours and compete in domestic cups, you aren't doing that in the Championship.
The Championship is a dog fight, it was horrible last time around, and it is so tough to get out of, and very easy to become just one of the pack. Avoid at all costs! |  | | |

Yes but Brighton and Bournemouth are still seen as lesser smaller clubs than we all know who.
But both play decent football at times.
Regarding going to games,I remember both getting tickets for people and buying tickets off people to watch the games.What happened to rolling up to the Hamilton Hall and being able to buy a spare ticket off of someone?
Now it’s all a bit serious and strict. |  |

Ah, but Bournemouth are very plucky!
Yes it is a bit restrictive now. Symptom of a changing world where everything seems harder to do - or that’s maybe a sign of ageing on my part.
As to the OP, whether the championship is better depends on what you are looking for. There are plenty of people that think the National Leagues are better. Maybe the Championship is more fun. But only if you are trampling over the rest every week and thumping the neighbours.
Personally I want us to be the best we can be. I want us to have a stadium that can accommodate the supporters of tomorrow and see the best there is. That means the Premier League. We will of course never be one of the big clubs, but neither are we plucky little Bournemouth, or Brentford come to that.
When I look at the Forests, Brightons of this world, that’s the current target. Be better than them.
The Championship, like L1 and 2 is more competitive with lots of games and chaos. But the standard of the Championship is miles below the PL. I think if we can establish ourselves in this division, we will view it differently. Last time it felt like we were visitors who were then booted out with a quarter of sherbet lemons. This time? It feels different and we have a chance.
So for me it’s not about which is ‘better’ but as in real life everything about being the best you can be. |  | | |
