With so many clubs clamouring for limited play-off places, Red Dragons boss Parkinson has said of the EFL’s plans to hand out more tickets to that party: “It's so competitive, just look at this division, it's incredible. It's the tightness and competitiveness of the division, there's so many teams in contention and we're one of them.
“There are teams who have [gone up] and established themselves as Premier League teams. Look at Sunderland for instance, they've spent the money from the TV revenue wisely, they've got themselves in a great position and it shows it can be done.
“Looking at the Championship there's a lot of potentially huge clubs in this division - probably, in terms of support, bigger than some teams that are in there [the Premier League] at the moment.”
