Carey 6 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bournemouth - Don't like Swansea & they'll lose a couple of key players this summer if they don't go up. Brentford & Barnsley is mainly down to jealousy. If they can do it, why do we struggle so much. Oxford - Not too far away, never been there so a new one to tick off Tranmere - Imagine growing up in & around Liverpool and choosing to support these over the likes of Liverpool and Ev. Must be tough for them to get decent crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bournemouth, think they've got two more years of Parachute payments left.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bournemouth, largely by process of elimination. Would feel embarrassing for us if Barnsley or Brentford were promoted (especially Brentford, as they'd take the last spot on the "first 50 teams to play in the Prem" list). Swansea are the closest thing we have to a rival among the play-off teams, so would prefer it not to be Swansea. (It would also fuel 100 threads complaining about us letting go of Smith). The other major benefit of Bournemouth going up is that it's 1 less team with parachute payments to compete with. I'd like to see Sunderland come up from L1 as I still have a lot of affection for LJ.

Sturny Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I want Brentford to stay down for no other reason apart from jealousy. Barnsley going up would be interesting. If Bournemouth/Norwich/Watford all go up that would without doubt be the most boring promotion teams i've ever seen and I believe we'll be seeing at least 2 of those teams come straight back down. Don't sound bitter at all do I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bournemouth - for the same combination of self interest and jealousy as others Sunderland - nice to see LJ again next season FGR - to leapfrog the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Don't really care except NOT Bournemouth, if so its same 3 back up that came down. I could see the same happening next year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bournemouth - Soon we will be one of the only clubs in second tier not to be in the prem. If not then Brentford as IMO they are the most attractive side. Oxford Utd - Another away ground for me to tick off. Have brought through decent players over the years and as much as he gets slated Karl Robinson gets his teams playing decent football. Forest Green - Need some pride restored in the west country and at least we get a promotion. National league is not set in stone is and hard one to choose but either Torquay or Stockport. Still remember losing to them 2-0 away where the pitch was bogged down with sand under DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Brentford - deserve it most and 6 points that we were guaranteed give them next season gone too Lincoln City - just seems a nice thing for a club that size FGR - will highlight how small Bristol Rovers are even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 So looking at your charts Davefevs .............it's a Brentford v Barnsley final?

CodeRed Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Brentford - they deserve it. anyone but Sunderland - can you imagine how smug and insufferable LJ will be if he wins something - Oxford hopefully though. Forest Green - the nearest FL club to my house Torquay to join Sutton via the play offs.....I think the auto spot is gone for GJ now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Brentford, Sunderland and FGR. Brentford deserve it over the last few seasons. I want to see the reception LJ would get next season. And so the carrot crunchers swap leagues with the Gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyClapper Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 NOT Barnsley, I couldn’t bear it. At least we could we could blame parachute payments/ stellar recruitment and London factor for the others. If Barnsley go up it will confirm how sh** we’ve been the last few years and how much money has been wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I don't really care to be honest as I doubt any of the top Championship teams will be of concern to us next season. Like others, I have to be honest in saying that should Brentford or Barnsley get promoted it will be yet another club that we've seen a lot of in the lower leagues over the years, leapfrog us to the Premier League. I don't like being a sore loser or jealous in any walk of life, but there it is, can't be denied on this occasion. On a more positive note I'm backing FGR for all the obvious reasons. Torquay too, just purely out of affection for GJ. So maybe I do care, just a little bit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Brentford. I really don’t get this whole “well they’d be the 50th team in the prem and not us”. Who actually gives a flying one? It’s a niche quiz question as opposed to some towering achievement they’d have and we wouldn’t. Fact is, Brentford have been a damn good side for a number of years, and absolutely deserve it. Who knows, might even kick us on! Sunderland I’m in the still liking LJ camp. Realise not everyone likes him but I do think he genuinely had an affection for the club and still does. Even with the backing, it was always going to be difficult for him in the eyes of some with replacing Cotts and the nepotism accusation, but I’d rather two old boys and good servants in LJ and JM got their day in the sun as opposed to people with no connection with the club Forest Green Basically because it puts Rovers all the further down the West Country pecking order.

BanburyRed Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not really fussed about who gets promoted out of the Championship although as Brentford haven't been in the top flight and they have a new stadium with which to welcome their fans into......go Bees! From L1, Oxford - with Matty Taylor to score in the final against Sunderland and deny LJ! From L2, FGR - so they can laugh at the Sags below them!

BigTone Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'm backing Brentford because I think they deserve it. They always remind me of ourselves for some reason. Lincoln because ever since I was a kid I had a soft spot for them and liked Lincoln biscuits !! Forest Green because I think of them as local and have a strange affection towards them.

Sorry, I just don’t get the dislike/ hatred of him. Always did his best for us, seemed to have a genuine love for the club, took us to a level we’d not achieved consistently for years.
