I don't see the problem myself.. I'm sure Swindon Town would have a promotion parade if we went up in 2nd place..
I'm no lover of Oxford, but I just don't see what the issue is, personally.
We won that league and didn't have an open top bus parade. |

No, but we did have a promotion/end of season party... I still don't see the problem, but each to their own I guess. |

You're boring. Just laugh at Oxford with the rest of us.

The problem is, over the last few years, the powers that be have started to give out trophies/medals for getting promotion.
Back in the 80's, you won promotion...and that was it. Then the play-offs arrived, and until the mid 90's there was a trophy but no medals, then they started to issue winner medals. Then someone realized that the Champions and play-off winners got a trophy/medals...and runners-up team didn't, who also got promoted...so they started to receive something as well.
I noticed Burton had a trophy also, but they were runners up which I found odd. They should probably get a shield or a plate or something like they do at Wimbledon. |

I thought this the other day when Burton had a trophy lift. What's the trophy? They haven't won anything! |

And now you know why. Personally the Champions win a trophy, and the rest that get automatic or go up via the play-offs should get nothing. What next, the PL will introduce trophies for finishing in the CL places.... |

They must do already because Wenger did say that finishing in the top four was a trophy for the club a couple of years ago when asked about a lack of silverware.

I have never really understood why the Champions win a trophy and then the Play off winners who may have finished 6th also get one? I think from reading the Oxford Mail they are planning to unveil the newly commissioned (and much awaited) Only 13 points shitter than Northampton Town trophy during the Oxford parade? |

I'd have rolled my eyes over this regardless of club because there's really no need but they'll be treating this like a fan recruitment drive or something like that.
We didn't have one for finishing third which, in L2 terms, is the same thing. We didn't even have one when we won L2, opting for The Lightning Seeds and Toploader instead.
Also, I like the little feud they've started with Northampton.
Are they doing a Shrewsbury? Bless 'em. |

But they are the real winners as per Appleton... |
