Going to pretty much any away game with sensible amount of planning

I guess I must be speaking to too many ' armchair ' fans, who have little or no interest outside their cosy little top six existence.

If it’s at away games Mo you migh5 have met the bellends but Man City, WBA and Everton fans have all been ok. Might just be luck of the draw I suppose but there was one Citee fan who didn’t remember the season when we put 4 past them twice and he was old enough to remember as well. Selective memory I suppose.

Jumping on here a little late but-
Cardiff away where my ex ST holding Dauhter now lives. Since she moved there my Wife and other Daughter would visit for the weekend and include a trip for ALL FOUR OF US to the match.
Swansea it was a struggle to get one ticket. Even with 3000 tickets I wouldn't have got 4.

Be careful what you wish for !

I think it's a case of sweet consolation if we do go back down. I genuinely think that based on the games so far, the Championship is a far more passionate affair for the fans and if we go down I'm really looking forward to those away days again. I'm certainly in no rush to return to The Emirates or the Olympic Stadium and I'm not trying to be clever or a superfan here but would happily go back every year to Brentford, Burton, Fulham or Charlton.

Championship is just one league where possibly one of 20 teams could win it at the start of the season, EPL is two different leagues

Correct - As a top half of the Championship league at home we could play attacking football,now defense is essential and we are going to be under pressure for the majority of games,not entertaining unfortunately

From afar, it always looks like the Albion masses who make their way to Craven Cottage, Griiffin Park and The Valley have a great day out. Plus a lot of memorable wins for the Stripes.

Seeing the highlights on sky instantly instead of having to wait until MOTD and a couple of old bores drone on about the other team as if they should've beaten us.
