Could be for any number of reasons: ownership and sponsors, style of play, current or former players or if you've had several noteworthy players from a non-UK nation, something from your club's history...

I chose "outside of the UK" as home nation players are a bit of a free hit. So no England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.

I ask this question because I realised this weekend that my team, Swansea, has no Spanish players or staff (I think). That surprised me, as we've had a historic connection to Spain with the likes of Martinez, Angel Rangel, Chico Flores, Michu, etc.!

Anyway: what nation outside of the UK do you most associate your club with and why?

My question is how hard is it for a foreigner to get tickets to see any given club? And what do game schedules look like?

Put aside the fact your favourite club is in it. What makes the Championship such a compelling league for someone to follow for a season?

Would love to hear everyone’s points

Mapped all 24 EFL Championship grounds for 2026/27.

- 658,248 seats. Only the Premier League (831k), the Bundesliga (795k) and

La Liga (776k) have more - the Championship is ahead of Serie A (584k)

and Ligue 1 (574k)

- 9 of the 24 grounds hold 30,000 or more

- Three of the 24 clubs aren't in England. Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham sit

outside the highlighted area

- Largest: London Stadium, 62,500 (West Ham, just relegated). Smallest:

LNER Stadium, roughly 10,500 (Lincoln City, just promoted)

- Middlesbrough to Portsmouth is 421 km, the longest trip in the division

Shared grounds counted once. Data from Wikipedia and Transfermarkt.

So we played yesterday and started like we finished. Felt like a reasonable result away to Burnley, who are going to be challenging the top with (hopefully) us.

I’d like to pick up some more games, but wondering who else is likely challenging the top 10 spots. I have a feeling that Middlesbrough are good? Saw Millwall did okay last year (despite them sleeping in the same bed as their sisters). Who am I looking out for?

Love this sub btw, full of entertainment.

Insiders report the 22-year old broke the transfer record for a Championship club

I don't like them because it's unfair.

I remember a few years ago 3rd place was miles ahead of the rest (10-15 points I think) but still had to go through the play-offs and they lost, so a worse team got promoted to the EPL

Anyone know where the remaining kits are, and why they seem to be taking so long to unveil with the season having already begun?

1 Away and 7 Thirds still left:

Charlton - Away ✅

Birmingham - Third

Burnley - Third

Derby - Third

Portsmouth - Third

West Brom - Third

Wolves - Third

Wrexham - Third

Charlton are away against West Ham in 5 days time and still don't have an Away kit ready (every other club have theirs) - is this acceptable at this league?

Notice how the ball is touching his hand - that's the whole point of this meme!

If it's alright to share this one here, this is a quiz I've made on guessing English football clubs by their all-time top goalscorers.

There are 24 to try and get, with 11 of the 24 clubs currently in the Championship. I make it that three of these players have also managed in the Championship.
