The premier league is a lot of pomp and nonsense, similar to the NFL games held in London. This I feel will only get worse and is an inevitable part of modern football.
I personally don't relish the prospect of Championship football either, financially difficult to balance to remain competitive without over committing. All played out in half filled stadiums.
Maybe it's just fatigue from a break season were ive never been so keen to share my season ticket with family members. |  | | |  |

As a Town fan since day dot, I personally enjoyed been in league 1, it was good fun and a decent day out with family and friends meeting some characters on the way.
My worst experience as a Town fan has been this season in 40 odd years, It pains me to say it but this probably the only season I can recall where lost interest.
Not sure what to make of it all of it all right now, going down to come back up again to go back down again is not interesting, for me anyway. [Post edited 6 Apr 12:12]

"half filled stadiums"??????
Last Season overall champ attendances were more than 80% of total capacities. Only Blackburn filled just less than half of their capacity. Nowhere else was anywhere near that. | |

You enjoyed League 1? Aside from the last 13 games or so, being at that level was largely awful. |  |

League one was like being stuck in quicksand. It felt like the club was dying by degrees and when the new owners came in to me it felt like a race to get out of it before they lost interest. Unfounded of course, but it’s how I felt about that rubbish division.
Personally, my worst experiences were watching the team with 8000 or 9000 others fumbling about against Stockport, giving up against Sheffield Weds twice, the endless tedium in a rotting ground of watching Skuse, Douglas and Hyam along with Polish Pete, Frank Nouble, Cokey, overweight hasbeens in Ellington and E-B, Bullard taking the p1ss, the humiliation of being ‘Roy Keane’s’ Ipswich - and garbage at that.
The depression of watching that mess of diddy Hurst and gasbag Lambert getting relegated by a mile followed by video man securing a five year contract to produce nothing. Cook waving his coffee cup about while his players gave up at Northampton and Wimbledon.
I could go on. No, I’ve not enjoyed the PL much. I’ve hated how ultimately uncompetitive we’ve been - but for me we are a mile off the lowlights of the above paragraphs. [Post edited 6 Apr 13:25]

Thanks for that. Sums up exactly how I feel about it. Spot on. Maybe we'll come back after a break and enjoy it more, now we know what's here and can maybe start in a better hotel, with more of an idea of what we want to do.
...okay I think I might have milked that analogy a little but you get the idea!! |  | | |

In fairness to Cook the players that gave up at Northampton and Wimbledon were not his, they were Lambert's, the last dregs of Evans's Era of Mediocrity. Cook had only been with us less than 2 months, and he wasted no time getting rid of most of those players at the end of that season paving the way for the Gamechanger Era. | |

When will people stop bigging up that scouse fraud Cook?
Takeover negotiations were well underway when he came in, so saying he 'paved the way' is, at best, disingenuous.
As a manager, he was useless. Those players that had 'given up' were on the cusp of the playoffs(under our our worst ever manager) performed better for We Go Again. In no small part because when our form went backwards and he decided to start openly blaming and belittling them and consigning the likes of Woolf(one of our best performers the past three seasons) to youth team purgatory.
He then bought a large amount of players in the summer and was not only failing with them but was exhibiting the same mistakes and failings he had with them, including starting to show signs of throwing them under the bus.
It's pretty telling that under KM, performances with the same players picked up pretty much instantly.
He's bloody lucky that we've also employed the likes of Lambert, Keane and Hurst because otherwise he'd be a lot stronger in the running for title of 'worst ever Town manager ever' than he is. [Post edited 6 Apr 18:07]
