"Premier League fans, or at least supporters with an account on www.premierleague.com were asked to vote for whichChampionship promotion contender they would most like to see back in the Premier League next season. The options included all three East Midland rivals Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Leicester City, with the City Ground side winning the poll at a canter. Currently at the top of the division, Leicester City are club most likely club to be promoted this season, with a strong possibility of them winning the division as well. Burnley, Queens Park Rangers, Derby County and Nottingham Forest have all found themselves in a battle for that second automatic promotion spot and Burnley are currently the side that reside in it. There is 16 games to go (17 for QPR) and as we all know the Championship has a tendency of throwing up some wild results. Even Leicester can't be sure of promotion until it is mathematically done. With it likely to go right up until the very last game once again, it could be the sides with the greatest mental strength that eventually wins a Premier League place."

-JW- Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's because they haven't been there for so long so it would be a new ground for most teams to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Maybe a thread on the Forest forum helped boost the votes, online poll results do nothing for me http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=40025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgoodspeak Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 "Great to see that the respect is still there despite 15 years in the wilderness. We need to get back with style and I think a cup promotion double will do" Alright then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's because they haven't been there for so long so it would be a new ground for most teams to visit. And 90% of Prem fans couldn't give 2 sh*ts about the Championship. I'm sure if they were told some stats about the clubs they'd choose differently. A club who's made a profit from transfers and gives youth a chance (Derby/Burnley) or a club who in the past few seasons have spent over 10 million and just whip out the cheque book when times are tough (Forest/Leicester/QPR)?

VulcanRam Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'd want Forest back like a shot if I was in the Premier. Six easy points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My favourite comment on it so far is without question.. THEY HAVE THE BEST OWNER, GENUINE FOREST FAN ''FAWAZ'' - your typical local boy-done-good story from Wollaton, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Is it because they've finished bottom of the Prem more times than any other club in the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wouldn't care much for the Championship if we went up. That's a very good point, when we was last in the Premier League despite being terrible and knowing we were going to be relegated about three games in, I still didn't bother with the football league.
