Club Size In Order (Championship Edition)

[El Guapo]

Getting back to the original question ie Club size, my take on it is this, for what its worth.
I think a clubs size is determined by number of Fans not what trophies it have garnered, some clearly big clubs for example Newcastle and Sunderland mess up season after season, small clubs such as Wimbledon sometimes win the odd thing, dosent change their size.
I also think you have to look over the clubs entire history (crowd wise) most clubs attendances rise and fall depending on circumstances at the time. Note you can find all clubs average attendance at one of the Newcastle sites. I was pleasantly surprised to find my team the mighty Boro stand a respectable 16 best supported English club of all time. Given the crap we get of everybody all the time I feel this puts a bit of correct bias to it.
anyway I have placed all teams in a band 1 to 5 1 being the largest 5 being the smallest, you can argue within each group were each team is placed
Group 1 Leeds, Wolves, Wednesday.
Group 2 Forest, Boro, Derby, Brum.
Group 3 Ipswich, Charlton, QPR, Cardiff, Fulham, Hudds, Hull, Brighton
Group 4 Burnley, Blackburn, PNE, Bristol C, Reading.
Group 5 Brentford, Rotherham, MK Dons.
well there you have it do you think I have I basically right or totally wrong

There is little to choose between Wolves and Forest in terms of ‘size’. I wouldn’t categorize one above the other. They both have a similar size fan base, similar attendances, success, and both have fluctuated between tier 1 and 2.

Granted Wolves were one of the leading clubs in the 1950s and have won more domestically but Forest have since won two European Cups and a League Championship with arguably one of the most iconic managers of all time.

yes 1950s when no fucker was alive on here you hear that mark ....everybody as forgot about wolves success now

 

[TomPNE94]

If there's a set of freakish results in the last two games of the L1 season, meaning we sneak a playoff spot, and then somehow beat two probably better teams and end up in here....

...then we'll comfortably (or narrowly, if Burton hold their nerve) be the smallest club in the Championship since the dawn of time...

Edit. EXCEPT FOR NORTH END! (Glossop, that is, before anyone from Preston gets miffed)

You're bigger than Burton.

When one considers club size, you have to take into account of everything.

Were you alive in 1995 when Wigan averaged 1,748 in the fourth tier?

That table Wiganfucknuts has posted is dictated by who had the most players at a World Cup which took place two years ago, so basically it's just ordered by who was doing well at the time.

He probably spent hours looking for a table that had Wigan in a respectable position.

Wasn't knocking it.

It must had been something to see your club average sub 2k crowds in the fourth tier to seeing your club win an FA Cup Final at Wembley.

We then ranked the clubs by the number of players provided to the 2014 World Cup — a measure of modern ‘bigness’. The overall ranking is an aggregate of these two.

Please try and improve your shit brain.

Wigan are more comparable with Fleetwood, Morecambe and Accrington than the rest of the clubs in Lancashire.

You're a glorified, northern Crawley.

No one has ever dreamed about watching their team play in an empty stadium in Wigan mate, no matter what the league is.

...and we'll see, if clubs like Wigan can make it, anyone can.

http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/pne.htm preston fans on about attendances fucking joke of the day that

Wigan - 1st in L1 2015/16, having been in the top flight and having seen their team lift the FA cup 2 years ago - average attendance - 9,044.

Preston - 3rd in L1 2014/15, their 4th season at that level - average attendance - 10,852

Preston also averaged more in our respective relegation seasons from the Championship.

It doesn't matter what Wigan achieve they will always be minnows compared to the rest of Lancashire.
