it does, and i said before the game that if we arent beating teams like plymouth at this point then we dont deserve to go up. football is a funny old game. that being said, i stick by my opinion that we were good enough to win today.

We simply are not prepared on or off the pitch. Staying in this division for a couple more season will get us a team that will be ready for the big leap up. The only thing to hold us back would be the KMS. It simply is not fit for purpose in the Premiership. I wouldn't like us to go up only to do a Hull. The more experience the team can get at this level the better really, perhaps in time the coffers might be big enough to allow SOD - if he's still here- to buy a really good striker force. Billy plus a couple more. Let's enjoy the dizzy heights we're at for a few seasons more. Along with the inevitable rollercoaster ride!!

i couldnt see a drop of fans to figures less than what we have now? from a financial point of view, going up, and coming straight back down is much more beneficial than consolidating in this league for a few more years.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hull or Burnley drop straight into League 1. Northampton Town dropped right from the top to the bottom in the 60's, Swansea did in the 80's. And we have a similar background to those situations at the moment.We need to establish ourselves at this level - build up a commercial infrastructure that matches (everyone complains that customer service is currently wanting), create ties with top-level clubs and agents in terms of getting loanees, free transfers etc, build a youth \"production line\" a bit like Crewe did (and Burnley in the 60's/70's)... which all takes time.
