With pre-season underway at most clubs it is time to take a look at the fore coming Football League Championship. There will be 24 teams duking it out for the holy grail of football a place at the top table of the Premier League and of the 24 only three places are up for grabs.
The only way to do promotion is via the two automatic spots and while some like the play-off’s I ruddy hate them with a passion. You can end the season in third place but still not be promoted while the team that finish sixth can go up, so wrong even if my team were the sixth team. It just so happens the third place team last season was promoted, Norwich.
Personally, I would like to see a change in the Play-offs. If we can’t have straight three up then I would like to see a game or games between the team that finish 18th in the Premier League and third in the Championship. That would have meant a game between Hull and Norwich.
This season the favourites for promotion must start with the three teams relegated from the Premier League Hull, Burnley, and QPR but there no guarantee they will. It’s excessively early for predictions with a ball yet to be kicked but bookies kind of get it right most of the time.
The bookies are not being favourable to my team Cardiff City topping the Championship with a big outsider’s tag, which is unsurprising. The odds on gaining promotion are better with most bookies not seeing Cardiff in relegation problems that is a relief. I am excited to see what the season holds it is always a interesting trip good or bad it's what makes being a Cardiff City and football fan in general.
