Totally agree with you there Robin !! If they place us in the Prem then all well and good, but if its the UCL 1 then so be it. I just want Senior football on a Saturday afternoon, I'll take UCL 1 thank you very much.Three of Diamonds wrote:Compared to where we are today, UCL Division 1 is tempting.

Re: UCL Division 1??
It does not matter what Chairmen of UCL teams say the final word is from the F.A, however i fully expect us to be in UCL Div 1 but no doubt we will apply for the Prem as any other club would do even those that oppose us would apply for the highest place possible.
Whatever Division we are placed in someone will bitch and moan.

Re: UCL Division 1??
The chairman is a guy called Stuart glendonning or something similar sounding to that. I don't know the ins and outs but apparently its all over Facebook which sounds a bit unfair to me. I don't really know the Burton park team, just the guy I work with.
I hope we do start in division 1, I'm up for a challenge!

Re: UCL Division 1??
I could understand people's noses being put out of joint if we waltzed into the prem. I will have no problem if they decide we should start from the bottom and work up, we have no right to be higher than that.
An adult team to support, playing in the pyramid will be fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

Plus, in my opinion the Premier is a much more physical division. I doubt many of our young players would be capable of playing more than a handful of games. Alongside a few experienced players they could be very succesfull in Division One next season.

Re: UCL Division 1??
Yep, can't disagree with you there, I can't deny the thought of supporting a team so low down in the pyramid is a weird one and its scary to think we'd need 5 promotions to get back where we were before but at the end of the day having some senior Saturday football to watch again would be fantastic and what's even more fantastic is that every away game in that league probably wouldn't be more than a 45 minutes drive away. Roll on August whatever league we're in (provided we can find a ground of course)Three of Diamonds wrote:Compared to where we are today, UCL Division 1 is tempting.
