Club Size In Order (Championship Edition)

[rudebwoyben]

For me, considering size, fan base and history, these are the top 6:

Leeds
Forest
Wednesday
Blackburn
Boro
Derby

Wolves are definitely in that top 6 as it now is, certainly above Blackburn and Boro.
Certainly two out of Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland will be in it too next season.

The same could be said for any side playing at Wembley, I'm willing to bet that not everyone in your measly attendance for the cup final was a Wigan fan.

Charlton were like a turd what wouldn't flush in that championship that relegation was long overdue good luck in league 1 haha

 

[JJH]

we sold out.... bristol citys fan base aint that much bigger than ours so that 45k is a lot of bandwagon fans who have no interest in bristol city facts!

Just looked it up, FA Cup final you sold the initial allocation, FA Cup Semi you only sold 22,000

And give over ye gert tart, you can't tell me a club who are averaging lower than we've ever averaged since the turn of the Millenium have a bigger fanbase than us, two years after winning the FA Cup.

What you on? 84? in a far weaker division. lol.

i said your fan base is not much bigger...your talking like your a massively supported club which you are not...

 

[DippyDon]

Or it's an indication of potential fanbase. Was that your first trip to Wembley? We take 40k+ to Wembley and The Millenium every time, if we got to the Premier League we'd sell out every single week at home without fail. It's frustrating that this city hasn't had a club to match it's potential in recent years.

It was our first appearance and we won, but even after a high we still only got 7000 or so the next game

how is it weaker ? it took us half of a season to get out of first gear with a new team...gelling process my friend

 

[JJH]

No, but we're situated in a big city not in a small, rugby orientated town and have decent home attendances in this league - and I'll tell you for certain that you'd never see us average 16k in the Prem like Wigan did in 2011. Pretty incomparable, really - especially given your recent success, which you have every right to be chuffed with.

Answered your own question. Didn't turn up for the first half of the season and still going to win it.

L1 was shit last season, it's even fucking worse this season. I'm surprised you're only on 84 points given the money you've chucked about.

wasn't about not turning up....well lets see how you do next season mid table at best..

the team we come up with this season is better than the team you come up with....i tell you that now...

 

[JJH]

the team we come up with this season is better than the team you come up with....i tell you that now...

I beg to differ... Just had a look through your squad and the only players that would have been upgrades on what we already had are Warnock, Jacobs and Grigg (who we snubbed at 400k last summer, rightly so as the paceless mare won't cut it at this level). Preston and MK had better squads last season than you do now.

Yes, I agree but despite that and despite a season ticket boycott we'll probably still average more than Wigan.

i disagree....power wildshut daniels wabara would all walk in your team now...we will show just what a good side we are next season with a few additions...wait and see

All 3 promoted sides teams last season were easily better than Wigans this year, I'm sure if any of us with last seasons squad were in that league this season we would have walked it. Considering the top 3 are you, Burton and Walsall shows how poor a league it is this year

No they wouldn't, look at our squad before you say brainless things. You think Daniels would get in ahead of Golbourne or Bryan? You think Max fucking Power would get in our side ahead of Pack or Smith? Wildschut instead of Kodjia?

I'll tell you mate, you're in for a shock if you think your mediocre L1 side will coast the Championship without some hefty additions, we found out the hard way this year.

well that's why your getting relegated and Bristol city have just stayed up....compared to us who will be comfortable...i see nothing from 10th place down that have better players than us....we have some real gems i watch them week in week out..not to mention a very good reserve squad with talented players

i think you really underrating some of our players....put it one way we loaned out emyr huws to hudders...he plays week in week out...i wouldn't even have him on our bench now....hes shite compared to morsy and power

Huws has been decent for Huddersfield, you're telling me he wouldn't get into your midfield ahead of David Perkins?

He'll be good for you next season, unless he decides to leave for a bigger club like Huddersfield. Not entirely out of the question.

We've been relegated because we have a worse squad than we did in League 1 and didn't replace the 64 goals we lost. Put our promotion team into league 1 and we'd have walked it. Considering we arguably only came second because we lost Afobe in January (Before City fans disagree if he'd have stayed we definitely wouldn't have had that Feb/March bad patch) and Bristol City ended up deserving winners, Wigan from this year would have had no chance in that division

dont want him back did nothing here and hes a bad apple and hes really average....id sell him at the first chance i got...hes a changing room nusense dont want that type of player here and hudders bigger than us hahahahha yee ok mate, so you think you will finish above us next season ?? doubt it

They also have us at 9/1 to win the league next year, with the team we have now we won't even make play offs

Craig Morgan is dogshit at this level, seriously dogshit. Need to bin that c*** off right away.

Ffs this is why no-one likes Wigan The only reason you're not still in non-league is Dave Whelan... You're the smallest team in Lancashire so I'd pipe down if I were you.

End of the day, Wigan are shite and tinpot
