It would be the greatest league in the universe... What an embarrassing mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Bennett is a complete 'drinks it in the Congo'. He's the latest addition to my ignore list which now is over 2 pages long, although at least half of those are Bennett anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said it last week when hibs played at tannadice, according to them because there was 11000 at the game, and hibs have sold a lot of season tickets, neither of them should be in the championship. Never mind the fact this is hibs 3rd attempt at coming back up, and utd were so utterly shit last year they finished comfortably bottom. You'd have to go back to 1988 to find a bigger crowd at a Dundee Utd v Hibs game: it was being in a different league which made it such an appealing match. Whilst in the Premiership/Premierleague/Premier League/Premier Division the matchup has very rarely broke 10,000 people for basically 35 years. It's actually a pretty convincing argument that being in a different league can be good for clubs and that winning games and doing well in a lesser league is more fun for supporters than trudging along 50 points behind a Glasgow side which has a budget 20 times bigger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding post.It's not the first time football fans have preferred being out of the top league. That really should be teaching those that run our game an important lesson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yep, its human nature for people to go along to games if their team is doing well and competing for league championships, top division or not. When we were in the 1st division in 2009/2010, we got some great crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not having that. This hasn't been fun at all watching us struggle to break down sides like Dumbarton and Alloa. I've hated ever single minute of it bar beating rangers and hearts in the league. Quicker we are out this league the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our season in the Championship was a very enjoyable season, great to go to different grounds and different towns. Some teams don't enjoy it so much, especially when they realise they belong there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think the point is that it's the opportunity of promotion which leads to the excitement, not the lure of the tier 2 title's silverware. It may be novel or interesting for the first year or two, but I refuse to think any club would have a majority of fans who'd prefer to play in the Championship versus the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I enjoyed the first division much more than I enjoy the drudgery of the top flight. Ignoring the fact that we won more, the first division/championship is the most exciting league in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It's a weird one. Obviously in normal years most of the teams in the Championship are pretty evenly matched so the competition is pretty cut throat. Added to that, winning games is clearly more fun than losing them. My experience of our forays into the top flight is mostly (but not entirely) of desperately hanging onto the odd win, being happy enough with a 0-0 versus some bottom 6 shite, or getting pumped in front of blue or green neanderthals. But I still love the extra challenge and thrill of getting it right up the, shall we say, more traditionally established, top flight clubs. So a post Xmas push for title glory from Housties' Heroes will be just splendid thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Apart from the fact we are a top flight club. Certainly bigger than no marks like Dundee and heart of Midlothian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudu Dahan pal Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 We will be in our rightful place in the premiership next season dishing out the full Hibernian length to absolute diddies that have out stayed their welcome in Scotland's top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be bigger, but clearly also shiter as you are most definitely not a top flight club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
