Just speaking to a friend of mine who lives near and supports Luton Town. He was surprisingly downcast - "we keeping losing week in week out and its depressing" - "I wish we were back in League One as every game was enjoyable, beating teams and living life at the top end all season"
If we went up would we end up living life at the bottom of The Championship?
If we did how would we feel I wonder?
Personally I would love to see us challenge higher quality teams in The Championship but I must admit that I might miss playing teams off the park with free flowing football in League One.
My mate ending up saying "Be careful what you wish for!"
I put the phone down and thought............................miserable fucker!

I actually don't like fish
The 96/97 season is my favourite... the real great escape, 2-1 at spurs away, needing Middlesbrough and Sunderland to draw or lose... game delayed by 15 mins and of course Middlesbrough having the 3 point deductionI found some of the top flight seasons pretty depressing, 96/97 was particularly bad as was the relegation season of course.
3 Point deduction! Thats a light slap on the wrist these days.The 96/97 season is my favourite... the real great escape, 2-1 at spurs away, needing Middlesbrough and Sunderland to draw or lose... game delayed by 15 mins and of course Middlesbrough having the 3 point deduction

They way things are going looks like his wish is going to be granted..
I remember each relegation thinking 'at least we'll be winning loads now' which never quite worked out that way. If you're not looking as high as you can I don't get the point.
3 Point Deduction!!! You were lucky.3 Point deduction! Thats a light slap on the wrist these days.
Agreed. For me the step up to the championship is bigger than from league 1 to 2. If you look at the bottom of the Championship it makes grim reading for those aspiring to get out of our league. If Robins got us up and then avoided relegation that would be some achievement.I'd rather be Mid table/lower in the champ for consecutive seasons than spend any more seasons in this shite league
one season in the premiership would solve all our money problems!Nah give me the late 90s and finishing 15th and 16th in the premier league over now any day of the week
Not sure about that. The novelty factor would create an initial bounce but if we were getting tonked every week I think the novelty would wear off.Get us up, away days all over the shop at decent stadiums with proper followings.

My fear is that we might need to spend serious wonga to compete in The Championship (wonga we dont have). If we are still at St Andrews and promoted I think we will have a serious problem - high expectation to spend to survive and a massively reduced income = struggle!
Stadium situation will be in sharp focus (good thing).
I listened to a podcast recently that said Cov were one of the best recruiters in the 72 EFL clubs by using data analysis of lower leagues. They also said that Preston have similarly done very well with a smaller budget. We need to follow their lead if we go up. It’s possible..... see also Sheff Utd.My fear is that we might need to spend serious wonga to compete in The Championship (wonga we dont have).
