was it the biggest ground in the uk at one point ?
I used to watch Charlton occasionally when I lived in London but although the Valley was the nearest ground to where I lived I never saw them play there.Quote:

We all went to Stamford Bridge in the afternoon for Chelsea v Newcastle, 2-0 to Chelsea.Quote:

Wrexham if they don't finish the job.
Fair few decent clubs in there that have been championship then a lot of the usual ones we have lost to in the 3rd round of the cup.
I can't work out if it will be interesting to play some of these or just miserable.
Definitely miserable! Let’s be honest our “big” games will be against the two that come down with us so Plymouth and either Luton/ Derby/ Hull . The other “biggie” could potentially be Wycombe, looks like they’ll end up in the playoffs and having just missed out on promotion might mess up in the playoffsQuote:

Proper old school football day out.
Wycombe…a biggie….jesus wept what has he done to a once proud clubQuote:

I just don’t get saying it will be a positive watching our team play different sides at a lower standard. I agree the football in the last few seasons has been terrible but that’s mostly down to us and not who we are playing.Quote:

I, like you, have also seen us play the teams in league 1 many times in the past and I’m not exactly thrilled to be playing the likes of Northampton, Lincoln, Wigan etc again
It would be different if we do a Birmingham , invest in a forward thinking manager and spend money on players and re-galvanise everyone behind the club but it’s a big concern we are more likely to end up floundering around mid table with the likes of previous Championship clubs Bolton and Wigan
Plenty of big clubs have been there for a few seasons…..Man City, Leeds, Sunderland, Ipswich, Forest too I think….Quote:

It won’t necessarily be a positive, but it’s not guaranteed to be the catastrophe some are predicting either.Quote:
