whelk Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 Who do you want to come up? For me Fulham as a decent away. Although quite like Steve Bruce and wouldn’t mind Villa back. Premier League doesn’t need another Pulis team although don’t mind Boro either although no way I am making that trip. Derby nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 Been to Boro and Derby but not Fulham or Villa, although I doubt I'd get tickets for the former as trips to smaller London teams always sell out. Villa I guess, although not all that fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham is probably the easiest London game for tickets as have neutral end which tends to turn into away overspill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGalpin Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 Girlfriend's a Villa fan and live West Midlands, so them. Failing that Fulham as it's near work and a good away trip or Derby as I've never been and it's fairly close. Please not Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 11 May, 2018 Share Posted 11 May, 2018 Fulham is one of my favourite away trips and have sat in the neutral section. Works ok. Just accept that you could be sitting next to a fulham or saints supporter or a neutral. Fulham supporters are generally a civilised bunch. They do put segregation in occasionally when needed.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Fulham 74% possession 2 shots on target. Short cornes every time so as to negate the counter-attack. Remind you of anyone we know? Jokanovic? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Fulham would be my preference, decent club, fairly easy to get there. Only downside might be making it more difficult to attract Jokanovic if they come up, but with us looking like staying up and Hughes growing reputation at the club this is not as critical as important as it was a few weeks ago.

The9 Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Good point. Anyone with experience of the 'neutral end' know what it's like. I'm guessing no colours, is there ever trouble when someone scores? When we needed to sit down during the cup game and all the Saints fans were standing up, we got moved to the neutral zone. It was... there. Mostly empty for that match though the half-time divot diggers sat in the row in front of us in full Fulham training kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Hope Derby suffer an agonising play-off defeat, the bastards. Fulham or Villa for me. I was over the play-off defeat as soon as they had the worst ever Premier League season when they went up. 9 months of hilarity. I'd quite like Fulham to go up because it's a decent away day, though the wife hasn't been to Derby and we've both been to the others. Also I want us to sign Tom Lawrence and that isn't happening if they go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Worries me how seriously people take rivalry to wish someone gets hurt. Was it his play up Pompey tweet? It was probably him sliding in front of the Itchen after scoring when playing for someone against us a few years ago - may have been Leicester in the Championship, can't remember. Personally it doesn't bother me, he's a crap Championship-level striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Derby and Villa are local(ish) so they'd be ideal. Fulham is always a good day out and Boro is grim so as long as it's not them I'm happy. As it's Saturday evening I will add this is only if we stay up tomorrow.

Why would we want the big clubs like Leeds, Villa, Birmingham, etc. to get their shit together and return and establish themselves in the PL?

Haven't had an average attendance larger than our current capacity in 44 years. 23 of the past 30 years spent outside the top division. 2 League Cup wins and 2 JPT-level wins in their entire history. Twice as many seasons as us in the third tier in the past 30 years too. Birmingham would be exactly the kind of club I'd want to see promoted to the Premier League. Then again so are Huddersfield, Burnley, Watford, Bournemouth and Brighton, all of whom look likely to finish above us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 If Villa make it there'll be 3 Chinese owned clubs in the PL + a 13% stake in Man City. I'm not sure how successful our plans of expanding there will be given the competition. Wolves will be big spenders and could feasibly take a lot of bandwagon Chinese fans.

ericofarabia Posted 13 May, 2018 Share Posted 13 May, 2018 As much as I loathe Derby, The Brunswick near the station has to be one of the best away pubs ever. And that would be one of next season's relegation spots nailed down already!! About a dozen Real ales and their own micro brewery and the food was pretty reasonable last time I went!! Never been to Villa Park, so that would be fine too. Both grounds would offer a large away following. Smoggies .... nah .... bound to be a Jan mid week ko knowing the doss EPL Fixture Computer. Fulham with their tourist section ... and no doubt on a Sunday when every bit of Southern Rail is shut down for maintenance!! To be honest just (assuming no cock ups of biblical proportions today!!) relieved to still be in The Prem after this car crash of a season!!
