Default Midland derbies

In one of the other threads one of our Midlands contingent said how good it would be to see Wolves and WBA back in the Premiership. But would it? I'm not anti either side (in fact I used to like the 3 Degrees and 'Bud' Johnston was my hero as a lad!) but if they were to join the Premiership would the number of local derbies not mean they'd run the risk of losing points they might otherwise have won from alternative opponents in non-derby atmospheres?

It'd be like the London clubs in the Premiership now, playing far more derby's than, say the Manchester, Liverpool or North East clubs.

Be careful what you wish for!

Nah it would be great imo. Midlands football hardley gets looked at until recently villa had 5 players in2 the england squad. It would just be good to see us all there for once in the top league.

Everyone does love a derby but, as I said "would the number of local derbies not mean they'd run the risk of losing points they might otherwise have won from alternative opponents in non-derby atmospheres?"
