And we could drop another division

Indeed. We're so very poor that a straight through relegation wouldn't be a huge shock.

We might even get relegated all the way to whatever they call the Conference now. Or maybe even lower. Isthmian League here we come.

We'd be in the Northern Premier. Or Southern, depending on where the line is drawn for 2021-22.

Get ready for either Marine or Billericay and Havant and Waterlooville, Dave.

And I'd still support us, as I suspect you would and many other posters on here.  To trot out the old cliche, it's in the blood.

Are Moor Green still around and if so where do we need to be to have a proper Birmingham derby?

I'm looking forward to the derby games we'll be having with Wednesbury Strollers in 10 years time.

Always the Colours, the Club, the History. No one can take that away from us.

To be honest I fail to see how it could be any worse than where we are now.

You love your kids when they are bad as much as you love them when your good.
It's the same with your football club
And boy are we bad at the moment

For some teams coming to villa park it will be like playing in the champions league final in real Madrid. Definitely the likes of wasall and burton.most clubs will fill the away end at villa park as it will be their biggest day of the season,  we too will fill away ends as we will go to grounds that some villa have not been to for years or never been too.  we have a traditional 'supporter revival' when we go down.  We had one when we was inthe 3rd division.  There was one in 87. Old school will return.

But it'll be be like the kid who was getting straight As and then got addicted to crack and threw his potential away.

The word if needs to be taken out of the topic thread. Another point it will be harder to get a ticket for forest away than it was for the facup semi Final against Liverpool.

About the only bit I am looking forward to if I'm honest. I loved all of that in 87, some of the best away days of my life - Bradford, Barnsley, Swindon, Sheffield United...

Good reasons why it would better in the championship.

No Premiership types - they will go and support another team

More 3 PM kick offs

More local games

More standing

Blokes only at away games.

Old fixtures returning i.e Cov Blues Forest 



Blokes only? What the bloody hell are you on about?

No more half and halfers.
No more tourists getting in the fucking way because they can't find their way to the 'consession stands'.

Does the ref collect the ball as he strolls onto the pitch in championship?
Do they have a championship anthem to line up to?

So many new things to learn.
