Bet some youngsters don't even know Blackburn won the league So we cancel all our success because most people don't know it Do they ever wonder why our crowds are so big even though we've never won anything Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

pazowl55 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Taking everything into account Villa are easily the biggest club in the championship. Not a great deal in it between the rest they all have something to cling on to to say well thats what makes us a big club.

Rogers Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Traditionally - Villa are the biggest club. Then it's a throw up between lots of clubs, they all have cases. Derby have won the league more recently than us and have more season ticket holders, but they were nothing before Clough. Bit tiresome this topic. It's all about now and getting out of the league.

Unfortunately for us apart from the 91 Rumbelows cup (best football day ever) all our success was nearly 100 years ago our longer, Leeds was nearly all in the last 50 years. Also you neglected to take into account European football ie finals, semis finals etc (where Leeds gained national and even worldwide support) I know it's all about opinions but my top 6 would be 1 Villa 2 Leeds followed closely by 3 Sunderland closely followed by 4 us just ahead of 5 Forest 6 Wolves The fact you could ask 100 people and get 100 different answers tells you it is all about opinions though. Having said that Reddragonowl is obviously fishing or very young or a Blade to have below some of them clubs he mentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etchesketch Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I've never thought of Sunderland as a bigger club than us at any time really. Always thought of them just below us. Depends what criteria you use but I consider History a big part of it and also post the Stadium of Light 20 years ago their crowds were never bigger than ours. The last period they were in the top League before the Stadium of light they were only average 15-20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I have read somewhere that over both teams entire history their support is higher than ours. Can remember a time when they got about 12k regularly, suppose the same can be said about us in the 70s though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you measure size anyway? Its not all about size, at least that's what some girls say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Who gives a feck who the biggest club is. Being a big club in todays football world means nowt, that's why clubs like Hull, Bournemouth, Swansea, Huddersfield, Burnley and even fecking Blackpool have been in the premier league more recent than us. Id rather get to the premier league and be classed as a "small club" by the likes of Leeds, Forest etc than be stuck in the FL as a "big" club.

Bouncing Owl Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Villa are the biggest club. Leeds are second but they should be the biggest club in English football. 3 professional football clubs in West Yorkshire with a population of £2.3m. The other 2 clubs are Bradford and Huddersfield and they are only smallish/medium size clubs. They have a huge catchment area and there is no doubt Sheffield is more of a footballing city than Leeds. Makems are probably 3rd and we are 4th. It would be interesting if we got to the prem and we had a ground with excellent facilities as I think we could get 40k gates.
