I have no great love for Sheffield Wednesday Sheffield United or Huddersfield but were they to all get promoted it would make for a great season next year, and a big boost to Barnsley's finances with increased attendances. Love em or hate em it could only be good for the reds.
Agree. It's been great fun watching the Sheffield clubs get relegated in turn and suffer, much as it was with Leeds. But on the whole I'd rather we're playing them in front of big crowds and, hopefully, continuing to do well against them as we have in recent years. Hope all 3 go up
Agree, the more derbies, the bigger the average crowd, the higher the revenue to play with. Although I do want Charlton to go up as its another ground near where I live!
I keep winding up all my Wednesday supporting workmates that it'll be an all-Sheffield play off final. They don't believe me but its looking more likely as the season progresses...
You have a point with Wednesday and Huddersfield because both will bring over 5,000. However the Blunts last few times haven't even brought half that so them coming up would make little difference to the finances. Obviously we'd make way more money if Hudds and Wednesday go up with Charlton, rather than say MK Dons and Stevenage.
If I could influence the final positions I would have Washday and Huddersfield promoted but I'd leave the Blunts in the pub league. Lets face it they hardly fill the away end so we're not losing a fortune through their absence.
