Got thinking this aft , how much of a personal cash payout would satisfy you if it meant town got relegated ?
Obviously it would be the end of the world for some , but others have been there before and take it in their stride. £20,000 , £10,000 , £5,000 , £1 ?
How low would you stoop ?

As much as i dont want them to and considering i'd still be going if they went down i'd take £20,000, talks cheap though and i might even bottle it if it came to it.

Is there an option to reinvest my lump sum into players who aren’t injured all the time?

I would opt for a free season ticket, for games I missed with Moore in charge.

I can't measure it against cash, we have the platform now to become a force in the championship, starting next season. So I am going to put my blinkers on and not consider the possibility.

I understand the question but I don't think the two equate. Personally I wouldn't be devastated if we do go down, incredibly disappointed and frustrated but I would still have a team to support.
Now if the question was how much would compensate me if we went out of business I think no amount would properly cover how I would feel.
I'm realistic in that relegation might happen. I'm equally realistic that if it did that I know there would be a hell of a lot to do to recover. If I got £20 000 I might enjoy that but the money would go and my club would still have been relegated.
That moment when Schindler scored was however priceless.
An interesting thing to contemplate but as I say not something I can equate with financial return.

I won £100 on us conceding 4 at the weekend and it certainly softened the blow - but I'd have swapped it for a win all day long!

The law of Sod would say now we have a very rich owner prepared to splash the cash, we'll get relegated...having survived several relegation battles with owners not able to splash cash. I'm not phased about relegation though,it is what it is and if we go down we deserved to go down...but, it's a chance to rebuild and re-start, and win that elusive 3rd Division title that has alluded thus far..
Alway look on the bright side of life...

Would it be public knowledge that you accepted an amount that sent us down? Would you still be safe in the stadium  |

The odds were 7-1 which seemed attractive. Would I rather have Town gone on to beat them than get the £70 I won? Yes, although like you say it softens the blow! |

Tricky one but for example if hypothetically it was a case of I can only take my daughter to Disney world and that would be her only chance to go but Town had to get relegated then we'd be going and I'll come back and watch Town in League 1.
Getting relegated isn't the end of the world, it's disappointing, but while I've watched Town for over 30 years and seen all the ups and downs and desperately want us to do well there are things that are far more important.

Whilst League One wouldn’t be easy to bounce back from, a title would be nice! Right now, I’d rather Town survived seeing as we have a basis to build on (I believe).

Relegation is almost the end of the world to me.
I am currently refusing to look at the league table and find it impossible to contemplate being in League 1.
The Championship is everything, one step away from the dream.
So it would have to be a life changing amount of cash to even come close to helping me get through the absolute devastation of relegation.

I wouldn't mind going down if we knew we'd be coming straight back up. But I just don't think it would be so easy. Though it'd be nice to win the title as we'd become of the few clubs to win the First Division, Second Division, Third Division and Fourth Division titles. Wolves, Burnley, Preston, Portsmouth and Sheffield United are the only five clubs to do it. |

Relegation would be disastrous. We’d have a big turn over of players, financially we’d be worse off, the fan base would dwindle further and for me worst of all we’d lose Andre. We’d be back to the drawing board again!

There is quite a few clubs in League one that are a similar size club to us and they have struggled for years to get out of that division.
There's been a "Massive" club in league two for years😉

We’d be back to the drawing board again!How do we know we’d lose AB, surely the possibility of relegation was discussed when he was interviewed? I can’t imagine we’d have given the job to someone who said he was unprepared to stay with us should we be relegated. |

Relegation wouldn't be the end of the world. The earth would keep spinning. The sun would still rise. We might even consistently win some games. Good away games again too. But if we stay up that's fine too.
Having said that some folk, sadly, will implode if we get relegated.

Easy to say that relegation isn't the end of the World - and the scheme of things, of course it isn't - but it can precipitate the complete collapse of a club. Solidarity with the Reading supporters today  |

Struggling to put a figure on it but it really wouldn't be much.
If we get relegated, so be it. I've experienced it before and I survived. I've been to Leyton Orient, Cambridge, Wrexham, Mansfield, Charlton.... etc. it's not that bad.
Even in the worst case scenario, we go bust. Who dies?
If your football club going bust (let alone relegation) is the worst thing to happen in your life then I struggle to decide whether to envy you having lived such a charmed life, or to pity you that you never found anything in your life that was more important than a bit of escapism on a Saturday afternoon.

Could be a belter season followed by challenging at the right end of the Championship due to riding high on confidence, somewhat like Ipswich Or we get stuck in League One for 10 years |
