1320Lichtie Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Crowd wanking. Not what's happening, a couple of comments about the Riversides sea of red seats whilst they've been in the championship has sent HM over the edge, obviously crowds go up and down depending on success but I just find it a bit mental they can go from 30/31/32 in the EPL to 15/16/17. Obviously, still, a good good support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So... crowd wanking then. Glad that got cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, still, a good good support. They're far from the only ones who suffered big crowd drops after relegation. Rovers are probably the best example of it! Pleased Boro went up and looking forward to see how Rhodes does in the PL. A wee £2 million extra for Rovers on top of his transfer fee now too, not that it'll get used or anything right enough.

Bully Wee Villa Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Pleased Karanka got promoted just to shut up the imbeciles who keep telling me that only British managers with Championship experience can possibly do well in England's second tier.

accies1874 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Did Middlesbrough actually win a trophy for coming second? I thought I was seeing things at first. Seems pretty bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, still, a good good support. This is crowd wanking, and it's wrong. I think crowd wanking is pretty cringeworthy, but how a team that gets 24 thousand average in The Championship (we only got mid/high 20's in the last few years in the PL) in a town of 100,000 people, and consistently has one of the biggest away following in Britain, is bizarre. Still unsure why you have a hatred for a beige club like Boro, as you still haven't explained why they are a "horrible club"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Also, getting a trophy for coming 2nd is utterly ridiculous, but just shows the media/money in the PL now that they absolutely have to had every team going up looking like they've won something.

Disco30 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 A trophy for coming second really is ripping it. Would be as well giving villa a trophy for being the team who have rolled over the most all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I always thought it was daft the playoff winners lifting silverware while the team that finished above them and went straight up don't. Goes without saying that throwing more trophies at it doesn't make it look any better though, better just scrapping both. Surely just winning the playoff and going up is victory enough, three trophies passed out per league is a bit overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse in Scotland in the play offs where a team finishing 2nd bottom of their league wins a trophy if they stay up. While we were that team in 07/08 and it was a relief to stay up thats as far as it should go. Btw, don't really have an issue with a trophy for gaining promotion but can see why it would annoy people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
