"And to what end" is the key

Bournemouth and their iffy Russian money have spent four seasons in the Prem, in which they have averaged 12 wins and 17 defeats a season. No chase for Europe, no real relegation battle excitement, just year after similar year. Until eventually they get relegated, like Stoke, Swansea etc before them. Last year we won 27 and lost 6 - which is more fun as a fan? The experience of being a fan isn't - or shouldn't be - really related to what division you're in. It's a about watching your team every week and hoping that this year is your year. Even the League One campaign was more enjoyable as a fan than any Prem season I can recall since 92/93. Don't let the media hype about the Prem being the be all and end all blind you to the everyday fun of football anywhere, or you'll end up being permanently disappointed.
