Looking forward to Millwall and Wrexham, and some more London derbies (QPR and Charlton)…

By the way, the chance to get promoted will be greater than ever because the number of teams competing in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs will be expanded from four to six, starting in the 2026/27 season.

According to Wikipedia the English Football League Championship is the wealthiest non-top-flight football division in the world, the ninth-richest division in Europe and the 12th best-attended division in world football (with the second highest per-match attendance of any secondary league – after the German 2. Bundesliga). Its average match attendance for the 2022–23 season was 18,787. The second biggest ground is Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium (34,700), the biggest one now being of course the London Stadium with 62,500 seats.

About the cathedral of Lincoln (above) Victorian writer John Ruskin wrote: “I have always held … that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have.” Preston North End together with Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers currently hold the longest tenure in the Championship, having last been absent in the 2014–15 season.
