Cancelling Sky Sports never to return.
New grounds to visit.
Winning more than losing
Going straight back up as Champions with a new set of heroes.
Taking Gary Rowett off the Blues.
A new owner (hopefully).  Or, the present one to come to his senses.
The banners on the North Stand and Holte End coming down.  They're not helping now.
Playing Prem sides in the cups and beating them.

It's got the potential to be the most enjoyable season for about 6 years, Newcastle fans loved their season down there compared to what they've had to watch since they came back up. Let's just hope it transpires that way.

Lots of derbies/local away days (Blues, Wolves, Burton? Walsall?)
Leeds away - used to live up there so know quite a few Leeds fans (all decent ones, contrary to a few of you experiencing bad ones in years gone by)
Huddersfield away - my old man's team

If we are doing well, there should be some good away trips next season.

I forgot one.  Being waited on hand and foot by my lovely daughter in law until ten to three and still not missing the Millwall kick off.

Feeling able to introduce my eldest lad to it when there is a possibility we might win.

Being able to walk from my house to a match for the first time since I lived in Brookvale in the 1980s. (I can hear the crowd at the John Smith's Stadium from my garden if the wind's in the right direction).

Going to Deepdale 30mins before a game to watch the Villa. Oh and more local games for me again!

Losing is very tiring to the soul. I just want a break from that for one season.

Do you need to be a season ticket holder to get away tickets?

I would actually like to read an informed view from a Barcode as to their thoughts on the year in the Ch'ship and how it compared to the subsequent seasons when they've been back up.

Starting a season with a chance of winning or coming second, third as opposed to knowing without a ball being kicked that we will not qualify for the Chumpians league

Not feeling as miserable as sin every time I think about football. Not having my girlfriend continually saying to me 'if they make you unhappy, why don't you just not support them?'

My mate is a Toon season ticket holder. He enjoyed the season in the championship - going to be grounds, lots of goals and excitement. But they did run away with it. He does concede that it would have been different if they had been average mid table!

Not being the worst team in the league. Even if we try (and we will) it is just about impossible for us to get rid of allour current players, most of whom are decent to good Championship level players.

Singing have you won the European Cup at Brentford, and other new grounds.
Tonking teams at Villa Park again. I can still vividly remember beating Plymouth 5-2 in 87/88, when I was thirteen. I could stare at tickets from games three years ago and not remember a thing.
