If you ask a neutral under 40 who is bigger I would imagine most would say Middlesbrough given their recent history compared with ours. If Middlesbrough had spent the last 22 years in our position their average crowd would be half what ours has been. Their recent history is better than ours due to HUGE investment but overall we are a bigger club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in our 3rd stint at this level in the last 20 years and haven't been in the top flight in that time. I'm not suggesting we're not a big club but to suggest we're bigger than Middlesbrough is a ridiculous comment and is why other clubs fans think we are an arrogant fan base.

We had better home support than Boro last season. This is in spite of us being a division lower than them. We had better away support than Boro last season. This is in spite of us being a division lower than them. Boro have only won one major trophy in their entire history and that was the League Cup in 2004. We on the other hand have won 4 league titles, 3 FA Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Charity Shield. Now I’m not one of these fans who bangs on endlessly about what a big club we are but I would love to know what makes you think Boro are a bigger club than us because going on trophies won and both historical and current attendances, your argument doesn’t really stand up.

I'm not necessarily saying they are bigger than us but they are a similar size to us. You can go back hundred years or whatever and say who's won what but recent history very much on their side. Since we were relegated in 2000 they have spent 10 years in the premier league, won the league cup, got to a uefa cup final and had 0 seasons below the championship. We've got to the play offs in the championship twice in that time and are set to spend a sixth season in league one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if we do get bigger crowds we've been awful for over 20 years. I'm not saying they are bigger than us but they are are a similar size club that can pull in similar crowds to us.

You are aware this thread is about club size aren’t you? Yeah I agree we've been awful for 20 years and if you start a thread about who’s better in us and Boro I’m sure you’ll not find any Wednesday fans who’ll say we are better but that’s a completely different argument.

That was 53 years ago So you've got to be Knocking on 60 years old to remember them winning anything So my point stands their fan base is delusional with how big they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
