Title: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: TimTheVillain on February 04, 2011, 02:26:50 PM: Who do you want to play against next season ?

I'd like Forest myself.

Alongside QPR and Norwich.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up ??
Post by: peter w on February 04, 2011, 02:29:10 PM: Norwich, QPR, and, erm, no problem with Forest but lets have someone else up. Doncaster? Swansea? Watford?

Post by: cheltenhamlion on February 04, 2011, 02:30:37 PM: If it's still the same at Forest then their burgers are nice.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Toronto Villa on February 04, 2011, 02:34:21 PM: My old man liked Forest when I was a kid, and they had some really top teams in the 80's. They should be a PL club. Norwich is a nice away ground, and Watford because of Sir Graham.

Post by: Chris Jameson on February 04, 2011, 02:36:57 PM: I went with a Geordie mate to a Forest v Newcastle match during the miners strike and they were singing 'There's only one Maggie Thatcher' so for that reason I hope they stay down.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: curiousorange on February 04, 2011, 02:38:28 PM: Anyone barring Leeds, Swansea and Cardiff. Not out of any anti-Welsh feeling for the latter two, but completely out of anti-Dirty Leeds feeling for the first.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: garyshawsknee on February 04, 2011, 02:40:19 PM: Forest and QPR,the main reason is that they were good teams when i was young. Also have good memories of being at the City Ground when our Lord majestically climbed up to head in the winner all those years ago.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: The Left Side on February 04, 2011, 02:47:23 PM: Forest for me should be up in the premier, i ain't fussed about anyone else but Forest are a decent team with a good history and the City Ground is relatively close.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: N'Rexy on February 04, 2011, 02:49:28 PM: Fozza, always liked em.

Norwich would be good for a p1ss up in Yarmouth afterwards.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Lambert and Payne on February 04, 2011, 02:49:57 PM: QPR, Leicester and Barnsley
However think it will be:
QPR Norwich and Cardiff
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: luke25 on February 04, 2011, 02:54:19 PM: Forest, I was at the game as a nipper when McGath rose like a salmon, can't remember a single thing about it but do remember on the way my dad was hosting a quiz on the coach and I kept telling the couple in front of me the wrong answers, happy days
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: darren woolley on February 04, 2011, 02:55:21 PM: I would like Swansea and if not then Notts Forest why Swansea because it's a place i have never been to.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: ADVILLAFAN on February 04, 2011, 03:04:01 PM: I've been a season ticket holder for 10 years and never seen us play Forest, so would like them to come up.

Otherwise I like Hull, as they always lose to us and anyone other than Leeds for the other promotion spot.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Dr Butler on February 04, 2011, 03:07:45 PM: Norwich and Ipswich as they are near to home, a couple of away days to add to the London away days.

Post by: eastie on February 04, 2011, 03:24:10 PM: FOrest, and Leicester- let's get the midlands teams up!
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Merv on February 04, 2011, 03:31:46 PM: Watford - my brother inexplicably started supporting them when he was 8 and has done ever since. I like the way they're defying expectation to reach the playoff places.

Wouldn't mind Forest, Leicester either. Or QPR - seems a long time away for them.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: WikiVilla on February 04, 2011, 03:39:50 PM: QPR & Forest

Post by: lennythekad on February 04, 2011, 03:59:16 PM: Cardiff, Swansea and Millwall. Three new grounds for Villa, and all well behaved, welcoming fans too!!
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: The Man With A Stick on February 04, 2011, 04:09:45 PM: That new Cardiff ground is a dump. I went to Wales v Bulgaria and it's the most soulless place I've ever been to.

Leicester (still bitter about their saddo fans in 1994/5) and Millwall can stay where they are too.

Norwich, Forest and Swansea would be nice.

What,
even more soulless than Stamford Bridge? who'd have thought
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Brend'Watkins on February 04, 2011, 04:26:37 PM: This is a difficult question.

last year I thought it would be great if Blackpool went up and when they actually did I thought, how refreshing.

A unfashionable club in the premiershipwith a character of a manager who speaks his mind.

I can't wait to see the back of them and him now.

So my answer is...I don't care.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: TheBarneyArmy on February 04, 2011, 04:26:46 PM: Forest, Leicester and Watford. Don't want QPR getting promoted under Colin, especially after his bitterness towards us when he was at palace.

Swansea and Cardiff shouldn't even be in the english leagues, send em off to the league of wales where they belong, and keep Millwall and leeds down too.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??

MK Dons to come up to Championship also
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Legion on February 04, 2011, 04:32:11 PM: Poll amended for 3 options. Unfortunately, if you've already voted you can't have an extra 2. All I can do is reset the poll so everyone can re-vote. I'll wait for a PM from the original poster before I do anything.

Post by: JUAN PABLO on February 04, 2011, 04:34:07 PM: Anyone but Millwall,Cardiff.Swansea and Leeds
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: eamonn on February 04, 2011, 04:37:07 PM: Didn't we have this poll a few weeks back?

Norwich cos Delia is ace and they had a very entertaining side when I was a young lad. And Paul Lambert has done a fantastic job there. Would like to see Forest back up, great old club, traditional stadium and Swansea maybe, would be good to see Luke Moore back at Villa Park.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: l_mckay on February 04, 2011, 04:51:42 PM: QPR,Swansea and Forest for me. Dont want Leeds or Cardiff coming up thats for sure!

Yes please Leg...........
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: astonvillan on February 04, 2011, 05:00:43 PM: forest, jump on the tram at notts trent uni to the station and then a short walk to meadow lane, have a drink, then across the river to the city ground. perfect.

would say leicester and derby for proximity but having done both in the past four or five years it'd be nice to get to some new grounds. so norwich and ipswich; the former very easy on the train from nottingham and the latter, doable.

oh and sheffield wednesday.

Easy away games for me!

Post by: Tokyo Sexwhale on February 04, 2011, 05:09:10 PM: Forest and Watford.

Not fussed about the rest. Don't like QPR - for some reason I think they're a bogey team for us.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: CJ on February 04, 2011, 05:55:53 PM: Forest first choice for me. I went to my first ever top flight football game in 1966 (a good year for football IIRC :))and it was at Forest so supported them through school years. Norwich is my second choice - during said school years I lived in Norfolk so went to watch the Canaries quite often. Nice club and the food should be good. Third choice toss up between Swansea and QPR, and probably favouring Swansea as it's another ground to cross off the 'not been there yet' list

They are I think.

I went to Loftus Road a while ago and I'm sure they beat us.

Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: Holtenderinthesky on February 04, 2011, 10:00:54 PM: I'm worried about QPR. Are they not the 2nd richest club in the world? Could it be that they will do a Man City and storm past us if they come up? Do we need another London team in the Prem for the media to drool over?

Forest, Norwich and any other ENGLISH team. (Leeds and QPR apart).

Edit: I believe the English league should contain only English clubs as Wales, Scotland etc have there own leagues.

MOst likely will be QPR, with Forest and Watford as my outside bet in the playoffs.

The League's founder, one Mr William McGregor, didn't want it called the "English" League* as he envisioned Scottish, Welsh and Irish sides taking part. True to this dream the Welsh sides entered.

It's not Cardiff and Swansea's fault some idiot decided to invent a Welsh League, more than a century later.

* he didn't want the word 'League' either but that's not particularly relevant.

Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: The Situation on February 04, 2011, 11:06:35 PM: Urgh, could only choose two (Reading and Forest)... don't want scummy Leeds and Millwall fans anywhere near Villa Park next season. If I had to pick a third team, meh... go with Cardiff. One Welsh team in the league would be different.

Would like Forest to get promoted and stay in the top-flight for a while, we could create a proper and worthy rivalry with them. I'd love Forest to be our main derby match.

Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: damon loves JT on February 04, 2011, 11:23:37 PM: QPR? Be careful what you wish for. They are a cheap imitation of Chelsea. Their away tickets will be the most expensive in the premier league. Also, Neil Warnock's face will be on television almost permanently. Sort of like Holloway but angrier

Fair enough, but I don't want Cardiff or Swansea up in any case. Cardiff are the Millwall of Wales and I'd prefer several other clubs over Swansea. I don't want Welsh clubs in the league as much as I don't want Rangers or Celtic to ever join.

I'm not keen on Reading - one of their fans sat behind me in the Upper Trinity when we played them a few seasons ago - it was the 1st game of the season, their 1st game in the Prem.

He was a very obnoxious old arsehole - tapping me on the shoulder to sit down all the time - he was about 70 mind !!

Post by: TopDeck113 on February 05, 2011, 12:23:12 PM: Forest, Norwich and Leicester in that order.

Part of me would like Leeds back, but I don't really want Ken Bates to get the oxygen of publicity that bring back in the PL would give him.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: citizenDJ on February 05, 2011, 12:40:54 PM: Forest, Swansea & Reading for me.

Forest for the tradition, I suppose. Swansea because Mumbles is really lovely and Reading because they gave me a job (as a steward) when I was a poor student.
Title: Re: Who do you want to come up most ??
Post by: JJ-AV on February 05, 2011, 12:49:12 PM: Forest. It'll be last year in Nottingham (providing I pass) and it'd be nice to see Villa play there.
