the championship

[nffcjoe]

i dont know about you, but i think the championship is probably the most exciting league in britain. Just look at all the unexpected events this season- Us coming 3rd, Leicester coming 5th, sheffield wednesday going down, blackpool winning the play-offs, middlesbrough having a reletivley bad season, the list is endless. What happened in the prem this year... the only thing i can pick out is that tottenham made the top 4 and liverpool came 7th also the football is faster in this league and more exciting and players like whittingham, Majewski, Nolan, adam and pratley all playing some very skillful attacking football and scoring some beautiful goals.

A look at the fixtures with local interest, just add's to attraction of this division, pity we have lost the Wendies though, always a decent trip

Another year of playing Derby, a chance for us to strengthen our squad and hopefully an automatic promotion spot. I think we can look forward to next season! Just a shame I'm moving away from Nottingham so won't be able to get to the matches as much

The Championship is the 4th most watched league in Europe, To me its the best all round league, and an exciting league.

The Coca-Cola Championship is now the fourth most watched League in Europe, with its total audience of 9.4m fans being bettered only by the Premier League, Germany's Bundesliga and Spain's La Liga.

Many pundits and media-types all say the Championship is the best-contested league in the world.

To be fair, League One this year probably eclipsed The Championship.

I think the Championship is the best league in the world for entertainment value. As well as those TV viewing figures just look at the average attendances for most clubs in this division, many top flight leagues around the world dont get turnouts like that.

I like the fact that Brizzle is (correctly) classfied as Welsh

I've heard a few glory hunters (Nottingham based Man U, Chelsea and the new ''I've always supported Man City'' types) claiming that CCC is a poor league because of how competitive it is!!! The idea that any team, on their day can beat the high flyers is beyond them
