We need to be in the Premiership but I really can't see our current team at the moment cutting the mustard - we could be replacing sunderland in more the one sense.
[cite]Posted By: Southendaddick[/cite]What do I enjoy more - Championship all day long
What do the club need - Premiership all day long
I certainly wont enjoy the Championship in 2 years time if we are still here.
spot on southend! atm it seems like a quality holiday, a break from the real deal of the premiership but after a couple of seasons i bet we'll all be pining to pay £50 at stamford bridge and not lose every half decent player that comes to our club/through our ranks
Don't give a toss either way really. I'm a Charlton fan and will watch them in any division.
(That said, it does make a nice change turning up thinking we might win just about every game. However, like anything, a "nice change" is nice until it becomes the norm and expected. I'm sure that if in 5 years time we play Burnley at home thinking we might beat them but don't for the 5th consecutive season, I'll be pining for the Prem - and all the tosh that goes with it!)

I agree with off it.
I'm enjoying the novelty but that can soon wear off.

Fug me 'Enry - that means either I'm talking ballcocks or you're really not very well, not very well at all. I've been out on a big lunch, so am more than happy to take the rap here!

Don't worry Off It like a broken clock even you are right twice a day : - )
Mind you I have been feeling a little tired lately; big lunch time meeting today.
Premiership 'cos that way us ovberseas lot get to see pretty much every game from the comfort of our armchairs.
If I was in the UK though, Championship for me, lots of interesting grounds to visit & every match means something. Although when we finally beat Manchester United that will be worth more than any 2-0 away win at Preston.
I like the thought of watching the side and knowing we have a really good chance of beating the opposition....we knew that wasnt the case in the EPl so Im quite happy taking a year out....in fact Im quite liking the idea of being a yoyo club.....but of course financially its obvious where we need to be....and yes that makes it a sad world indeedy.
premiership, as long as its a 3pm, saturday afternoon kick off or a midweek night game...otherwise its not football...there should be a rule whereby games held on mondays and sundays should be free...
Like others I'm enjoying the novelty of this season and the fact that we go into every game with a great chance of winning, and we have a real prize to play for in promotion. But the club needs to be in the Premier League. And from a personal point of view, with Championship coverage here being non-existent and not even radio commentary available online, it has to be the Prem.
[cite]Posted By: Oakster[/cite]LOL - well if it's any consolation, the WBA game kicks off at 5.45am over here - it's even worse for VancouverAddick - 4.45am!!
Mind you with a 9 week old baby - those times are not so exotic.
We're a right couple of plastics.....
I thinking of buying one of those PVR's Oakster so that I don't have to deal with staying up until 4.45.
Hey Inspector I think you read Southend and Southampton addick(s) as the same person.
We need to be in the Premiership to keep the club moving upwards obviously but my hope is that all the top 4 clubs piss off to a Euro league and then we might have a chance of a fairly equal playing league and even challenging one day to win the league title. Wouldn't that be something.

Call yourself a fan? ;-)

OI I'm the only BDL!!!!! ;-)
In the end, the same as everything in life, it all comes down to money which is sad but a fact.
Whatever you're on, I'll have one, please. Spot on, on both counts.
The messes that Norwich, Southampton, Coventry and Crystal Palace are in now should serve as warnings to us.
