Premier League pls - one season is far too fleeting, I'd like at least a few to give a chance of more aways.
But option C is also true.

I'd prefer all those things too, and also enjoy the footy in the Championship, but the money is too big a deal to ignore. We can't sustain football in the Championship.
I'm not sure how you could have been at the West Ham game and want to return to the Championship.
We were fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and the standard of football all over the pitch was pretty impressive. We were up against one of the most prolific strikers of the PL era and numerous domestic title winners, and outplayed them. We saw four fantastic goals, and I for one, was thoroughly entertained.
I understand on paper the plusses of the Championship, (more games, more goals, easier to get away tickets) but in reality I cannot understand why you'd want to get off of the PL ride currently!

Exactly! And I'm pleased to see most people agree with you. The people who voted 'Championship' won't be truly happy until we're back in the third tier at Withdean (as playing at the ramshackle Goldstone is obviously not possible), and the whole Amex era can just be dismissed as a bad dream when the club got ideas above its station.
This!
Polls such as this always make me cringe. We've made the big time but it seems people are more interested in winning more games than seeing the best players in Europe each week.

How many years would we be able to cope with negative football and hanging on, just to say we are in the Premier league

I enjoyed the Championship, especially some of the away grounds (Fulham and Brentford are my favourites), but people saying "we win more" - well if we win more (more than everyone else) we'll be back up here again.
At the end of the day, we need to stay in top tier, get a foothold and try and progress. Yes it's hard work and away grounds up here are soulless tourist attractions but "unfortunately" this is why we watch football! To compete with the best and hopefully come.off on top now and again.

answered Brighton till I die but of course premier league all day long... said in many threads we can only improve playing against Europe's best the players we have and the players we'll attract in the future... Yes it was great winning most games in championship but it's even better winning any games in the premier league

Absolutely. We all assume that TB will continue to put his hand in his pocket and pull out millions to subsidise the club in the Championship, and if after some years he gets fed up with that, we might not even have the choice of the two mentioned leagues.

Premier league. As it is a long way from Vancouver to Brighton attending games isn't really an option so the fact that almost every game is shown on TV is a huge bonus for me.
I love hearing 'world class' or 'worldy' and Brighton in the same sentence with regards to Jose's goal. I also prefer the backs-to-the-wall and extremely valuable wins to the Championship where you need to basically be relentlessly winning every week to get promoted.
