Fox92 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Theres is no way half those teams are bigger than us, what have Huddersfield and Coventry ever done? Huddersfield have won three top flights (Premier Leagues) and have about 3 FA Cups.
Kitchandro Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 We're behind Blackburn so I'll take it with a pinch of salt.
Stadt Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 We're behind Blackburn so I'll take it with a pinch of salt.Blackburn have won the prem
Manwell Pablo Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 We're behind Blackburn so I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Similar size stadium and a much richer history.....don't really see why we'd be in front of them.
FuriousFox46 Posted 29 July 2013 Author Posted 29 July 2013 We're behind Blackburn so I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Blackburn have spent 72 seasons in the top flight. Leicester 46 Blackburn have won the top flight 3 times and the FA Cup 6 times We only outperform Blackburn in 2nd tier titles, League Cup titles and finals and fanbase.

Narborough_fox Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Good to see you've got AFC Wimbledon ahead of MK Franchise.
MC Prussian Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 But we've won The Peoples Cup Did you just make that one up?
Babylon Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Theres is no way half those teams are bigger than us, what have Huddersfield and Coventry ever done? There aren't Charlton which is a start.
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 English football's biggest clubs are those with the biggest fanbases. Season's spent in the top flight, trophies won etc - these are all irrelevant in deciding which club is bigger. These tell which club is more successful, that's the difference. For example there is no way that Blackburn Rovers are bigger than West Ham United. More successful? Yes. Bigger? No.

Loggy88 Posted 29 July 2013 Posted 29 July 2013 Fanbase and history is the only 2 things to consider when it comes to the order of size of clubs. Ok Blackburn won the prem once but there crowds are pathetic and that lack of support means there still not a big club despite a top flight title. And there away support is crap as well there's no way Blackburn are bigger than Leicester. If I did a league of 92 in order of size we would come probably between 15th and 18th.

For example there is no way that Blackburn Rovers are bigger than West Ham United. More successful? Yes. Bigger? No. The general consensus was that both fanbase and historical success had an equal part to play in measuring a club's stature, prior to me making this ranking.

FuriousFox46 Posted 29 July 2013 Author Posted 29 July 2013 There'll always be disagreements, but as efforts go in trying to make something of it, that's pretty good! Thanks. I've had an awful lot of stick - mostly from Brighton fans just for having a go at this!
