I wonder how enjoyable the experience must actually be for fans of these clubs in the bottom half (being given the runaround by the top sides, with little hope of competing; scrapping for points against rival mediocrities). Ditto those yo-yoing between the Premier League and the Championship like Norwich and Watford. But this is the set-up the Premier League has willingly created.
Agreed with this about being a bottom half Premier club or yo yo team. I suppose a yo yo team gets to have a good season every couple of years but teams like Southampton, who's objective is to not get relegated every year, their fans must get sick of it. Sometimes you get lucky with new owners or a good manager but the manager will leave and the new ownership could go tits up. It's not much fun. The championship is getting a little like that as well but you can get in the playoffs occasionally being an unfancied team. At least at Notts we could go up but we also could go down, sometimes both views in the same season. I feel though with the stadium and being in Nottingham, even in the championship with the right conditions we could go for the playoffs. At least we're probably going to go up before we go down ha ha.
