We know we've got at least one trip to Sheffield next season with Sheffield United getting promoted, but where's your money on the others?
Who do you want to come up from the 3rd division and who do you think will come up?
Equally, Newcastle and Brighton seemed nailed on to go up automatically and none of the other top 4 remotely impressive it seems difficult to pick a Play Off winning candidate, but one of Huddersfield, Leeds, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, or Fulham is going to be making a (brief) Premier League appearance, but which one?
Finally, Sunderland are doing their best Aston Villa 2015/16 impression and are finally getting flushed, but who else is in their way down?
-
Middlesboro and Hull to join Blunderland. Fulham to go up with Newcastle and Brighton. I don't have a clue about those joining the Chumps.
-
Fuck our luck getting three of the worst road trips possible in Boro, Hull and Sunderland. No doubt at least two of them will be on a Tuesday night so we can enjoy more of those M1 night road closures.
-
Much as I dislike Palace & Fat Sam I'm glad we haven't got a trip to Croydon next season.
-
I also think it will be Sunderland, Boro' and Hull coming down and as someone has said they're three long trips and not brilliant away days.
Brighton and Newcastle will obviously go up. I want Huddersfield to join them, it will be good to see someone new up there and I think they'd have a good go. Reading and Leeds to name two would get battered every week. Rotherham, Wigan and Blackburn going down which is a shame as they're three easy trips and the last two have big allocations.
Bolton will join Sheffield Utd in coming up, two big away allocations. I want Millwall to come up through the play offs but I think it will be our old nemesis Bradford.
-
I think Hull will save themselves with Swansea coming down instead (another shite away trip).
As for coming up, having thought Burton Albion's Pirelli would be the smallest ground we'd play in a league match for a long, long time we could have a trip to the mighty Fleetwood Town's Highbury Stadium next year, with a total capacity of just over 5,000 - ie less than some of the away allocations we've sold out this year!!!!
-
Of the current crop, I'd like to see Huddersfield go up with Brighton and Newcastle. Sunderland, Hull City and Middlesbrough to play us next season along with Sheffield United, Bolton Wanderers and Fleetwood Town. Goodbye to Rotherham United, Wigan Athletic and SHA.

Des, these are three great away trips! ... if you live in N Yorks 😊
-
I'm not sure why Hull seem to be the people's choice, given they're not in the bottom three, have the easiest run-in (five of their last six are Sunderland, Watford, Southampton, Stoke and Palace) and seem to be winning football matches a bit more than most of the other teams around them.

Mine is just based on a gut feeling that Swansea will get out of it.
-
I hope it's Hull. Far easier for me to get to.
Barcodes and Brighton going up would suit too, for virtually everyone! As for the other, I think Reading as that's just an awkward place.
Sheffield United going up is great news, it's less than a mile from my house, with some good pubs en-route!
-
As we're losing the two best away days in Brighton & Newcastle then I hope we don't lose a third in either Leeds, Wednesday or Fulham. Hopefully Reading will go up, but I doubt it.
I think it it will be Swansea who come down with Sunderland & Boro and Bradford who come up with Sheffield Utd & Bolton... although I'd love to see West Ham drop and Scunny come up.
-
I almost want Leeds to go up just so I don't have to listen to Gary Monks one eyed bitter, nasty post match interviews next year. Fucking hell I really hate that ******.
-
I think Boro and Swansea will join Sunderland in getting relegated Newcastle, Brighton and Leeds to go up and I would like Fleetwood to join Bolton and
Sheff Utd in getting promoted.
-
Hull? No chance, they have the best manager in the league.
-
I hope Millwall go up
(said no one ever).
Pleased Sheffield United are going up I'm happy for Bolton to go up too (as I've got a bit of a soft spot for Dean Holdsworth)
-
Sunderland probably will have the same issues as we did this year in as much as will need to rid the squad of a lot of shite and they will lose old man Defoe - so that will have a negative impact to them (plus they have D.Moyes which is worse)
Boro and Hull or Swansea will regroup so I do not think next season for us is as nailed on as some think it is
Our main asset will be decent players and at least some experience now of this shite league
-
I don't want sodding Millwall coming up. Thankfully Barnsley knocked them out in the playoffs last year. Southend coming up might be nice, a day at the seaside :)
None of the teams struggling in the Prem are very exciting. Haven't been to Boro or West Ham's new ground, although it seems highly unlikely that Wham will go down now.

Why would you want Millwall to come up?
They are the most horrible football club in the country, a bunch of violent racists who when I was a kid caused havoc at Aston Station beating up men, women and kids in the first game of 1988/89 season. Keep them down.
-
Sunderland, Boro, Swansea.
Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds
Sheff U, Bolton, Fleetwood.
Meaning we have the slightly bizarre thing of playing Burton and Fleetwood in the league next season.
-
It's a pain in the arse getting away tickets so I hope Blackburn and (somehow) Wigan stay up, Bolton come up and Preston, Reading and Barnsley stay down as they give us large allocations.
I'll probably go to Sunderland and Middlesbrough too, hopefully demand won't be so big as they're far away.
-
You just know our trips to Boro and Sunderland will be night games. Probably around Xmas/NY time as well.
-
.
Newcastle, Reading, Leeds
That'll need to be the mother of all bottle jobs from Brighton - 13 points clear of the other two with five matches left.
But then it is Brighton, so not impossible I guess.
-
That should of course be Brighton. Jeeze, i'm fecking up my posts left, right and centre!
-
This is the best chance Leeds will ever have imo of a return to the PL - if they blow it, I don't expect them to be a real threat next season.

Millwall would be the most interesting fixture. People saying they want Fleetwood to come up but we'd get about 500 tickets.
-
Fleetwood or Scunthorpe would be the most interesting.
Other than that, the new new teams that Villa will be playing are all a bit meh
-
I think Swansea,Villaboro and Sunderland are joining us.Allied to Bolton,Scunthorpe and Sheff Utd.
I also think Wednesday will win the play offs.Which I'd be rather glad with.I think they'll be the toughest challenger next season.They've had a really terrible run of key injuries this year,plus they're backed better financially than any of the others in the top 6.Similar to Brighton last season.
I can see Huddersfield,Leeds and Fulham all losing key elements of their squads/Management team over the summer months.I also feel Boro will be the one's to match next year.
-

Not sure I can face Leeds being in the Prem, being surrounded by the feckers up here.
-
Boro and Sunderland are fucked. Swansea will go as well, starting their Wigan like descent from whence they came. Leeds or Sheffield Wed will win the play offs. Sheffield Utd will be joined by Bolton and Millwall. Rotherham, Wigan and Blackburn will drop.
-
Anybody who wants Millwall to.come up cannot have spent an hour milling about on a school playground outside the Den one freezing January Friday night.
Shower of twats that lot.

Wanting Millwall to come up? Are you possessed. Clearly never went there in the 70's. I hope they rot in hell.
Give me Bolton please nice easy one for someone who lives in the NW.

Shame to be losing Wigan and Blackburn for us oop north
-
I might add, I don't want the South London peasants promoted. I just predict they will be. Quinton Villa is clearly a loon.
-
If Hull drop and Reading go up and Sheffield United and Bradford come up is this going to be the most Yorkshire league ever?
That would be Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield U and W, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Hull though just realised we will lose Rotherham. That's one third of the league near enough. Though Plenty of real ale Rail trips for us Manc based Villans.
-
They may have got half way through the M62's roadworks by the time Rotherham get promotion back up.
-
Sheffield United is one of my favourite away days in football (been there 3 times with Walsall).
Reminds me a lot of Wolves...ground in easy walking distance from the city centre, plenty of good pubs around and another ground where we'll get a big allocation as you get up and lower tier.
Bolton will come up aswell. Have a feeling Bradford will come up from the play offs so that would be a match with a bit of an edge to it.
Would quite like Stoke to come down as missed that away game this season. Or West Ham for the hilarity factor.
-
Newcastle
Brighton
Sheff W
Rotherham
Wigan
Blackburn
Sheff U
Bolton
Bradford
-
Oh and that division (hand in circular motion) erm
Sunderland
Boro
Hull

If Highways England and the morons at the DoT have got anything to do with it, I doubt it.
