My honest answer is a big fat NO, I like beinga small club and knowing loads of our fans, not wanting plastics etc so I would love mid table championship

It'd have to be a yes for me, I'd love to have the chance to witness our club go one better and have a good year in the premier league.
The funny thing is Bushey after a couple of years mid table championship you'd be busting a gut to go up.
Me and my mates are always going on about how we took our higher league (premier/div 1) experiences for granted.
Onwards and upwards.

I'd like it for those few hours of pure happiness when you gain promotion.
I don't think I'd actually like us playing in that league though.

Part of me says yes. That first year/couple of years would be magic because I missed most of the last time we were there.
But the flip side is that you get the plastic premiership experience. Sky high prices. Mid table mediocrity at best with the only thing to 'look forward to' is a relegation battle or a bit of a cup run. Unless you are Reading, who don't even give a crap about the cups.
Tis a double edged sword.

I think it's a bit silly saying NO. I'm sure if we were up there around the playoffs in the Championship then nobody would say that they'd hope we'd fuck it up.
If we do that well then we have to take the bad with the good and see how it goes.

like most people have said - the going up season would be great, but the season after would probably be a bit shit. I missed it last time so would like to experience it, i doubt we will be in a position to maintain a healthy a premiership club though.
On the down side - I like being able to get served in the pubs before games without queing for an hour and I like being able to get away tickets for all the games without much hassle - in the premiership I think it would be more difficult at some grounds.

It'd be a laugh. I'd have a massive problem with people i know well jumping on the bandwagon though, which is a bit daft.

I stopped going last time we went up,a combination of not being able to afford it and having other more interesting stuff to do.But the actual going up was ace and you have to have a goal and mid table in the Championship is a bit of a shit aim for the long term.Surely the whole point of the football Pyramid is that even the lowliest club can dream of making the very top no matter how impossible that dream is in reality.

Its also nice that people in the media actually give a damn about you when you're in the Prem. Even if its the fact that they're debating if you're the worst team ever to play in the Premiership or not.

I would want the club to go up but I fear if we ever did it again I wouldn't be able to afford to wacth many if any games. Last time round we still had the terraces making it affordable at £8 for a ticket on the Bank I think. I certainly couldn't shell out £30+ for a ticket.
