CommentsTottenham Hotspur fans will not want to get relegated. Absolutely not.
Dropping out of the Premier League brings a whole world of uncertainty - from finances to star players leaving and the prospect of not immediately returning. The Championship is an unwieldy beast.
But, and this is a big but, should the worst happen over the next five games and the north London outfit drop into the English second tier for the first time in almost 50 years, supporters will have to look for some solace, reasons to embrace life in a new division.
With that in mind, here are five things fans may be able to look forward to should Spurs fail to beat the drop this term.

You can get lost in the wild emotion of celebrating a goal without wondering whether it's going to get chalked off because Lucas Moura was bundled over in the build-up and had the ball smashed against his tricep by an opposition defender.
And in general, the Championship feels like a throwback to simpler footballing times.
It's considered one of the most competitive leagues in the world, you get packed away stands, games that are impossible to predict, more goals and eight extra league matches to enjoy. What's not to love?
Talking of away trips. Bored of doing Manchester and Liverpool twice a season? How about Lincoln for a night out instead - there's a good Popworld, apparently.
It's a historic cathedral city - Tom Hanks stayed there while filming The Da Vinci Code - and very walkable, so would make a decent day trip if you're not one for cheesy 90s anthems.
Enjoy a weekend in Wales? Wrexham, Swansea and Cardiff could all be on the cards, too. And Bristol's just the other side of the Severn Bridge, by far the biggest English city to never have a Premier League team.
It's a good opportunity for the ground-hoppers among you to tick off some new spots.

Published7 hours agoRenewed rivalriesOn the flip side, if you're a Tottenham fan who enjoys keeping it local, then there are currently four clubs in the London region in the Championship.
Charlton, Watford, QPR and Millwall could be the local derbies on offer, although the Lions do have their sights set on the Premier League next term.
But don't discount Stevenage, hanging on to a League One play-off spot at the moment. Much of the town is made up of Tottenham and Arsenal fans anyway, so it could prove a pretty tasty trip down the A1 to the Lamex.

Then there's Tottenham's abundance of promising youngsters - many fans would relish seeing them given a good crack at the Championship.
