I know what you are saying and in some ways I can see the point but I think League 1 is a different place now, we were a fairly big fish last time we were there but plenty of big clubs in that league now that are struggling to get out although Wigan and Rotherham seem to be making a good go of it to be fair. Personally I couldn't bear the thought of being in that league again.
Agree, can't see how a relegation can be any good, if we were to get relegated back to "Championship 2" as our friends call it in the near future I can see us being there for years, bouncing back quickly is not something we generally do and that league is a far tougher proposition now than when we were last in it.
I work with a bloke occasionally and we talk about football, he always talks about Arsenal, the other week after they beat Northampton he came in and said "what a result for the Gas, we're on our way up" ?
I went to that game, had a new tyre fitted on my van in the morning, had a puncture in the new tyre on the way and couldn't undo the wheel nuts as they were too tight, had to get the AA out, good night tho !!
