There’s quite a few decent grounds amongst championship clubs where you can get a decent view/warm welcome. I’ve not been to Fev since we played them in the cup in 2005 IIRC. I have some fond memories of going there back in the 80s and usually getting a win. Can’t say there’s a place I’m not looking forward to going and that includes Sheffield even though I’ve heard the Owlerton Stadium is a bit “uncomfortable”.
While it should be a “refreshing experience” I’m not under any illusions it’s going to be some sort of cakewalk. We’re putting together a decent side but we’ll be the scalp everyone will want to take. We should get into the “middle 8” comp but I think promotion is likely to be very difficult indeed given the difference in resources available between SL and Championship. 2015 is our best shot to come back up. If we don’t make it then it’ll be even harder to attract players who might be able to get you there. We’ll be needing a SL club to go into financial meltdown for any championship team to have a chance in the longer term.
