So, your thoughts on the Championship?

[Yammerman]

It's a great league but to survive and then thrive, we will need investment big time. Our lack depth was a real problem this season, especially in the striker department. The departure of Azaz and Cundell was catastrophic and nearly did for us. The officials gave us very little, especially at those big 30000 stadiums. It almost feels like a rigged game against the big boys.
Our travelling fans have been exceptional and praised where every they go. I love that and am so proud of the noise they make. Take a bow.
The first half of the season was brilliant at times and I don't think we got what it deserved very often. Then we nosed dived and we all know the reason. I think we have to play like we belong, not like we're hanging on. Today the first half reminded me what this team can do when fueled by a positive attitude.

A decent manager, some shrewd signing and positive mind set, we can do a little better next season. New investment would really help but I'm very happy tonight knowing we have another Championship season to look forward too. Now where's that corkscrew.

 

[Mr Gillingham]

Unforgiving, relentless, ruthless and to a degree, unfair

 

[East DevonGreen]

Tough.
No 'easy' games.
Bigger jump from league one since we were last in the championship.
Lots of good football. Can't switch off for a moment, else you get punished.

What a day! I’ve enjoyed the season and for next season we need more depth to the squad

 

[IJN]

A truly wonderful league and I don't want to go down for years to come.

We made be a small fish, but we can improve our status by becoming an established Championship club.

The need for investment is now very important though.

 

[Hedge Hoghouse]

We finished where we deserved. No way were we a mid table side. Apart from today and the Leicester game this year has been too stressful to enjoy. I am delighted we stayed up but fear a repeat fighting off relegation next season

I think I’m older than oldage but not as negative ,we’ve just won our place in the championship but some of you posters are already being doom mongers for next season. Give it a rest

Yes, hopefully now our status is confirmed there will be some positive news

Totally agree

 

[Frank Butcher]

My mate is a long suffering York fan who watches football anywhere and he rates the Championship as the best league he’s watched. I tend to agree. So competitive but at the same time a huge gap between top and bottom. That seems like a contradiction that even I can’t work out.

So glad we stayed up so we can do it all again next season. A big close season to look forward to - and who knows, Championship survival may just encourage some inward investment.

Today is a good day.

Or…

We finished where we deserved. No way were we a mid table side. Apart from today and the Leicester game this year has been very stressful but hugely enjoyable. Isn’t it why we follow sport? I am delighted we stayed up and am now looking forward to a repeat of fighting off relegation next season and, hopefully, much better.

I fully respect your right to look through the other end of the telescope, oldage (and others) to the one I look through. But, hey, grab a bottle of wine and enjoy what we’ve all just been through. And toast what’s to come.

There is nothing wrong in being delighted but apprehensive about next season.
Not doom mongers merely saying what a lot of fans are thinking. This is a tough league and next year is unlikely to be any easier.

We are a very small fish in a very large pool.

But we have a nasty bite.

I hope SH is able to attract investors next season, being "Happy Shopper FC" has run its course.

Agree 100%. Next season we could end up like Rotherham if we aren’t careful and if everyone is aware of that now and committed to avoid that happening we are going to need some serious investment in player quality

But £12m richer

 

[Johnny Paradise]

Absolutely mental. Relegated PL teams aside anyone can beat anyone.
Frigging delighted we're still in it for next season.

 

[Cobi Budge]

As thrilled as I am today, we’ll definitely need to spend more next season.
