Plymouth for promotion and Everton relegated

I would absolutely love Everton to come down. My in laws are Everron fans, my bosses are Everton fans... it would be bloody lovely if they got relegated

I'm glad it looks like Wigan are going to come up as it is a nice local trip for me!

I would also like Wycombe to make it in the play offs as they were hard done by having to play their first season at this level behind closed doors.

Hopefully Sunderland don't come up as they could do well.

I’d like Wycombe to go up
Literally on my doorstep

Is that even possible to come down? Never thought of it before. What's a train?



In all seriousness there are numerous factors in play:

1) I see no difference whether you attend an away game or home game. So why do I need to spend 10 times more to try and get to London when I can attend the local games? Are you more of a fan if you go to a home match or something?

2) It is much (*much*) cheaper to go to Wigan (20 miles away) than London (200 miles away)

3) Time. I went to Preston, left at 1, back at 6. Perfect. Much more accommodating when I have a young family. I personally don't like saying to my wife "On Saturday I'll be leaving at 6am and coming back maybe at midnight" thus leaving her with a baby.

4) Sky Sports. Probably the main factor. Case in point, for my Dad's 60th we were meant to come down. Trains were all sorted for Luton in November. They then moved it to a Friday night a month before. Another example, Sheffield United was moved up this Friday about 2/3 weeks ago. It just makes it very hard to plan coming to London when it's cheaper to book train tickets 3 months before... but you can never trust the match taking place when it's actually meant to.

5) Trains themselves. Unreliable, replacement buses all the time. Could drive but Loftus Road is a nightmare to drive to and risks not making it with the M6 being a cruel mistress.

6) I don't even subscribe to the idea that you need to attend matches anyway. A lot of fans don't attend matches but they are no less of a fan.

7) Despite points 1-6 I will be down at some point next season anyway for my QPR Bond match.

you also have to remember senor NorthWest

between 1980-1989 i too was in the north west as a QPR fan

i lived in Leigh Greater Manchester

so i know how you feel

get to a league cup match or FA cup match then

15 notes a ticket

Even Chesham would give us a beating at the moment then

as long as your not hungry and keeping warm thats all that matters

i will only feel warm inside when MW is no longer at my beloved QPR
