Who do you want to go up in the playoffs?

Post by aggi » Tue Apr 22, 2025 10:51 am

So now that the top two are confirmed who do people want to see come up in the playoffs with us?

I'd like Bristol City. Something a but different, won't be splashing massive cash if they go up and always a decent day out.

I would have liked Millwall for similar reasons but as they'd probably have to beat us to get in the playoffs that rules them out.

Bristol City.

Makes sense for us to want a team who we think are going to be weaker than us.

BC. That'll mean after them and Manure we'll only need to get above 1 more to stay up.

I’ve posted earlier in the season that Sunderland are my second team but them and Blades are out of form. I think Bristol C will win it and it would be good to stretch the PL down that way.

Sheff United as they are the third best team.

I tend to want the best teams promoted.

Would like Millwall but the Rovers blip means it comes at our expense. Would opt for Bristol City.

They are and I understand you, Spijed. But pragmatism tells me they'd have more chance of staying up than the other candidates.

I quite like Coventry and feel their fans have been through a lot of crap. Their fans don’t seem to expect to just be in the premier league either unlike sunderland.


However, Lampard. So Bristol for me

Bristol City first choice, as I like new clubs going up.

Failing that Sunderland, get some money in a Northern city.

Sunderland - would provide a much needed cash boost for a Northern City, plus an away day
I can get to on free public transport. Much more accessible for away fans than Bristol
plus the teams are about the same level.

In order of preference:
Sunderland, Coventry, Bristol City.
Only because of friends who support them.

Sheffield United or Sunderland .... with us and DL going up, and Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich passing the other way, gives a more Northern perspective ....

Bristol City I have two daughters who live there, with grandchildren who go to the games.
Also as i live in Cornwall it would be my nearest Premier League club.

Bristol City for me. They've become my adopted 3rd team after I randomly met a guy down there in the 1990s after being refused service in The Robin pub who took me for a pint in his local and we've remained friends since always travelling back and forth when the teams meet. Also it's over 40 years since they were in the top division and it's always nice to have new blood in the Premier League. Come on you Robins!

Would love to see Milwall in the prem - they would cause absolute carnage
Bristol would be the preference, but really i'm not arsed at all - we are better than the other 2 sides who go up

I can stand Coventry fans, they really do think highly of themselves so it would be hilarious to see them get absolutely tanked every week. Whoever can spend the least is who I want to go up.
