Bill 1,788 Posted June 2, 2020 It appears we hold the record for being champions the longest in one season and only four clubs have won more 2nd tier titles than us Pukki is the second highest scorer ever in the Championship and .............. err, that's it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been a supporter since the early seventies and, on average, we've been a top end Championship/bottom end Premiership side..... I don't see that changing anytime soon.

That's about the size of it Splendido , cant say I mind either. Obviously would like the Club to be able to improve year on year but also aware how tricky that is. Hopefully the solid base in Academy and scouting set up will continue to produce.....as we can't play the money game. All in all though im ok with where we are and where we're headed......by that I am saying that im not too fussed if we're relegated, staying up would be some achievement though, here's hoping. I just love footy. Angling is my Side **** though, so I do have the best of both. Neither supporting City or Angling guarantee me success, but its fun trying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,834 Posted June 3, 2020 So there's the possibility that, if the season isn't completed but we are relegated anyway, we could become the first team to win consecutive Championship titles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,545 Posted June 5, 2020 Remembering that there was life pre-Championship as well as pre-Premiership, Blackburn Rovers won the Division Two title in the 1938/39 season and the next champions were Man City in 1946/47, and before that Derby County won in 1914/15 and held the title until Spurs won it in 1919/20.
