Stevosevic Posted 12 July 2007 Share Posted 12 July 2007 Yes, i have bought this up again, but i found an interesting link on the internet. An historical ranking of english clubs, would have expected us to be placed higher up to be honest. http://www.aboutaball.co.uk/html2/rankings/ranking.php Scoring system is further down the page.

Pete_foxes Posted 12 July 2007 Share Posted 12 July 2007 Its all aload of bull really. Club should not be judged on what they were but what they are at the moment. Think that table needs some updating because Wigan are like 70 something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo V Posted 12 July 2007 Share Posted 12 July 2007 Every fan can somehow look through rose-tinted glasses and give there version on why there club is so good. Im sure someone in Colchester has convinced themselves that despite being a shite side in Essex that they had a great home record last season and two 20+ goal scorers which somehow makes them better than Man Utd. I still have a tormented view on the club I support as I struggle to come to grips with why I swapped allegiances frm Liverpool to Leicester from childhood. I could hav ebeen celebrating the signings of Torres and Babel but instead get Cort and Hellings . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartonFox Posted 12 July 2007 Share Posted 12 July 2007 And Crystal Palace fans claim to be a massive club. Tossers. Crystal Palace is the most pointless football club in the UK. It is located in the boil on the arse of London known as Croydon and surrounded by shelters for the destitute and former jailhouse boys. The only thing massive about them is Simon Jordan's quiff.

'Delilah' is a reddeming feature though as is the easy access to their ground. 'Glad all over' and Selhurst Park are :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bob Posted 12 July 2007 Share Posted 12 July 2007 I believe there is a better way of measuring how "big" a club is and that is the final standings in the league table every season. Sure you could argue that Forest and Leeds have got an excellent history but their present is sitting in the third division. Blackburn Rovers wouldnt be so high up the table if they hadnt had a good run in the FA cup in 1884, sure they are doing OK now but the table would look different if we werent looking at their record from 120 years ago!!!!

S1DDO Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 Try my 'my club's bigger than your club' equation: (GC/1000)+(AA/1000)+(100-AP)+CP = Club size GC = Ground capacity AA = Average attendance of previous season AP = Average league position over 5 yrs CP = Cup points = Champions league 100 pts FA cup 50 pts League cup 25 pts JPT 5 pts THE BIGGER THE POINTS THE BIGGER YOUR CLUB.

Kent Fox Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 As 'historical' rankings go, I would think that's not far off the mark. We have not acheived that much in our history compared to those above us and there are some decent clubs below us. If we win the league this season..IF..we go into the 'elite' part as I understand it. Or the FA Cup. That'd be nice for a change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 The poll is about historical achievement so why the need to bring big into this? quite correct ,well spotted ; this is a league table of achievement only ; and if we get couple of seasons in the prem soon and another league cup we would get into the top tier edit; sorry KF i've just seen your post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackWalshie Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 If Wembely appreneces counted we'd be up their with Arsenal and Chelsea. Unfortunatley not and i personally feel where prob about the 25 biggest club in the country. There's is a massive fan base in the county that remains untapped and the club need to get into schools and homes to promote the Leicester City name. Giving tickets away for games no one want's to go to doesn't fill perspective fans with much enthusiam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 i'd like to see a similar table drawn up with just the statistics from say post WW2 or perhaps 1950 which seems to more reflect the stature of clubs today ..............just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 Largely because we're consistently average. We don't score many points on the ol' chart because comparatively to some teams, we really haven't won much. What we have had, which I think is fairly dignified, is a consistent time spent in fairly top level football. I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Honcho Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 Why does it matter whether your deemed to be a big club or not? It's a totally pointless topic and akin to worrying about the size of your todger! If you have a superiority complex then fine but big club or not I don't give a toss I won't be supporting anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
