How many teams have stayed in the Premier League since Sky took over, & how many have gone up & down? We went up to the top division for 4 years & went back down. That is the point I was clumsily trying to make. The Championship/ div 2 doesn't have the same disparity in money or facilities.

No, did you?

That isn't what I said.

Mike Bailey kept us up with 1-0 wins, and draws. After the first season, fans started moaning about it. In the Premier League, the target is 40 points. Casual fans enjoy watching winning teams, not defensive teams. Attendances drop off.

Going by experience from 79-83.

High demand for the first season. After that the casual fan will drop away because we're losing more than winning. When we get relegated again, the numbers will drop again.
