Welcome

Hello and thanks for joining me on my blog as I look to examine and explain the English Championship. 24 teams currently reside in England’s second tier of football, and whilst the glitz and glamour of the Premier League may dominate the back pages of the papers, the Championship boasts a wealth of talent and many thousands of fans.

My team? Well that would be Coventry City. I say ‘team’, they are more like a collection of middle-aged men thrown together and told to chase ‘that round thing for an hour and a half’.

I will obviously remain as unbiased as I possibly can as I talk you through the good, the bad and the ugly. Over time I will discuss stars of the future, stadium guides and teams to watch out for. I’m not going to bore you with copied and pasted match reports from the BBC or Sky, i’m looking to take a step back from the mainstream and try and give as much insight towards what goes on behind the scenes.

Who does the best pies? Who has the best fans? What is the appeal of the Championship? All topics i will cover. I would also like to pursue the possibility of publishing video’s, pictures and polls in the hope of promoting the appeal of teams such as Scunthorpe and Barnsley.

In the mean time, thanks for taking a look at my blog, I will be updating it shortly.
