There can't be many higher feelings or achievements than getting promoted to the Prem

Do you thInk that AN and some of the older guard have shared their memories of the 2014/15 promotion with Timm, Naismith etc and collectively, they're all massively up and focused because they know what they too might experience if they succeed? I don't mean promotion in the cold sense of the word, but more an emotional sporting experience that few get to feel.

I just wonder if such a recent promotion can only serve us well. Relevant, ironically of course because of our relegation. All the new boys will want a slice of that, more so because of our poor finish in May. A double whammy of intent and desire.

Villa, Newcastle, the main contenders... None of them have this. Ipswich, Brighton, Sheffield W, Derby, them neither.

If this train of thought has legs, on a 'sports psychology' level - whatever that means - we are strongest.

I've convinced myself. We're going up.
