Just flicked over to watch Birmingham v Sheff Utd during half-time at the swamp - no fans at St Andrews except behind the goals - great swathes of empty seats!!!! Extraordinary - both main stands been closed for safety reasons all season i.e. Chinese owners sold the ground and absconded with the proceeds - and they've just scored too and now Sheff Utd have just equalised

JC aren't you a little bit told to be experimenting with "recreational drugs"?

Billy Sharp is a great Championship striker.

Also, I’d like to see a few different teams get promoted this season rather than the usual Fulham, Bournemouth, WBA.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Rovers in the Prem again as it’s been a few years. And if Forest can sneak into the playoffs that would be great

I am gutted this has no coverage here, so I usually when I want to see a game I need a river. Weird, I think the tv right are not that expensive, plus there are a lot of fans who would like to see it.
That being said, like Mase mentioned, I am a bit tired of the same old teams coming up and relegating. I would love to see Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday, and most of all Forest back in the top flight, but I can't understand what happened, is that a big difference between the two divisions and that is why the same teams go up?

It’s the parachute payment mate. The clubs that get relegated from the Prem get a fuck load of money so they can pick up the best players in the Championship and just come straight back up. They need to do away with that payment.
