Is The Championship the New Premiership?

[bob_in_linwood]

Seems so, I would say.

The Hearts, the Hibs, the gers, and a whole bunch of class talent battling it out in what will be a nreve-racking battle for Scottish footballing supremacy.

It's going to be a stoater. That no-one can deny.

With the Premiership likely to be a bore-fest, all eyes and emotions will be on the Championship.

The Premiership will be a rather dull side-show.

Sorry, just saw another thread about this ...

Alloa v Cowdenbeath is sure to be a breathtaking match, they may top the 1000 mark.

The Championship, like any other league in the world, will only be 'a stoater' if it's competitive.

If Rangers run away with it and it becomes obvious from fairly early on that Hearts and Hibs are merely shoe-ins for a play off place then I can't see how that's going to be hugely interesting.

I agree it has the potential to be a cracking league if it is competitive and some clubs - Dumbarton, Alloa, Cowdenbeath etc - could benefit massively from big gates they otherwise wouldn't get as a result.

But how many Hibs/Hearts fans will bother going to Dumbarton on a midweek night in early February if their team is 15-20 points behind Rangers and 15-20 points ahead of the team in 5th?

Given the fairly paltry amount they have tended to take to places like Fir Park and Rugby Park on such occasions when they've little to play for, I can't see how that's going to change much if a similar situation arises in the Championship.

AFC, same could be said about going to Hamilton on a wet, cold windy Saturday afternoon in January, or a howling wind cutting across dingwall for a p*ss-poor ross county game on a Wednesday night in November.

All premiership teams have to compete for is staying up.

Attendances are dropping and I predict they'll drop further next season, while Championship attendances will see a sharp increase.

The Championship is where everybody wants to be next season.

If you believe Bob, all ten sides in the Championship are evens to win it. It's just that close and exciting.

I'm getting a bit jumpy just thinking about it
