I know a Saints fan but I have not specifically asked him how much fun he gets with their seasons in the Premier League, when I went to Stamford Bridge and saw them turn over Chelsea the full away allocation seemed rather happy that day. They tend to average 30,000 at St Marys so soudns like enough of them are having enough fun and entertainment.

Personally I would prefer to go and down divisions rather than just stay in the same one in mid/lower table without being relegated but the attendance figures throughout the PL are superb, I read that the average attendance as a proporation of stadium capacity was over 90% throughout the league. So PL has absolutely no issues filling the stadiums regardless of games on TV and not playing on Saturday at 3pm.

As for Wolves, they've had 3 top 10 finishes in their 4 seasons since promotion back to the big time. That's very impressive in such a competitive league, this season has been different, a goalless, funless nightmare so far. Hopefully that changes in their next match

Yeah agreed about turning over a top team. A lot of the teams have very good support from their loyal fans, I think part of the reason is it's the one area of peoples lives these days that are unpredictable (in the way live sport can be) and they can really let their passion/joy/anger out without someone looking at them funny. I also think for the 'smaller' clubs, what Leicester achieved gives them hope although that was before City and Liverpool took it up a gear. A lot of fans of the yo yo clubs enjoy going down as they get to have a season where they can be one of the top teams instead of the ones below the top 6 (or 7 now Newcastle are building)

As I say though you might have one or two good seasons where you have a good manager or the owners go for it but then the manager leaves, the good players get bought and the owners cut costs. I guess everyone is going for the Brighton /Brentford building if they're not bought by a regime. You can never really break though into the top without one though due to the constant churn.
