And if we don't we play the Cods. Win/Win.

Let's face it, with our current support we don't need to give a sh|t about playing a poorly supported local rival that is in terminal decline.

Vital Champions League
Watching the Scun. match last night the commentators were talking about playing budgets in L1 (8 million) and The Championship (35 million). How accurate those figures are is anybody's guess notwithstanding that is about our current budget x4 and x17 respectively give or take. I think Championship clubs get about 6 million TV money so some shortfall. Quite sobering if accurate. With added investment we could probably compete in L1 - would have to go some to actually get into Championship. Anyway mustn't get ahead of ourselves.

Probably the only interesting thing those commentators said all night... I really am shocked at how bad Sky's football coverage has become. All the commentators sound the same and frankly Chris Ashton would be significantly more entertaining than the horrifically wooden ex-player presenters they have 'fronting' the coverage. How they got that gig I hope says more about Sky's woeful production values rather the journalistic/presenting quality coming out of our universities.
Back to business, and those Championship figures really are startling. And presumably, a 15-20k average attendance (or rich sugar daddy owner like Bournemouth had) are the only ways to get anywhere the top half of that division.

Was that win/win literal as in 6 easy points or we still get a derby? It’s very confusing when Grimsby are involved.

Sky's coverage of any non-premier league football is awful. Scottish fans absolutely hate their coverage of the SPFL. Whereas BT put a lot of effort in to their coverage of National League and Sctoland.

BT's coverage of the NL is superb, its a pity they don't recompense the clubs more generously.

Sky aren't even interested in most of the teams in the prem, never mind teams down in league two!

Yes, some complained about Adam Virgo's summarising. That is head and shoulders above what we get from Sky. Shame BT Sport don't cover the EFL too. Their highlights package was and indeed is, far superior.
