Clubs in this league in size order

[JJH]

Not sure what was funnier, the clattering or him vomiting

Is there an option to vote for both?!

Notable fans of Bristol City include:

• John Cleese – Actor, comedian (Monty Python)[33]
• Glyn Stone – Professor of International History, University of the West of England.[34]

• Tony Robinson – Actor, comedian, TV presenter[35]

• Pete Budd – musician, the Wurzels

• Mark Watson – Comedian

• Justin Lee Collins – Comedian

• Jenson Button – Formula 1 driver

• Marcus Trescothick – Cricketer

• Banksy – Graffiti Artist[36]

• Ian Matthews – musician, Kasabian[37]

I've give you Cleese, Button, Banksy and Matthews. The likes of Robinson and Collins have a negative affect I'm afraid.

My Dad's mate who is a Leeds fan reckons that we are on a par with Sheffield United in terms of club size, excluding home averages.

IMO -

1 - Sheff Utd
2 - Bristol City
3 - Coventry
4 - PNE
5 - Bradford
6 - Barnsley
---------------------
24 - Swindon

It's all a matter of opinion, but how anyone can say a club who only had 2,500 more home fans than we did away fans in a game at their stadium they just got back are a bigger club than us is beyond me..

I know that's just one example, but historically, we are probably a bigger club than Coventry.

I agree, there was literally no one at the Ricoh yesterday but they are the biggest club in the league apparently?

 

[Gerry Gow]

Russell Crowe aswell! Fcuk me, we are massif...

Not for me - I'm leaving myself open to criticism, but there are bigger clubs in this league than Coventry.

What people forget, is the present plays a part in the size of a club as well, it's not all on history!!

 

[Hooped Wizard]

How could I forget Kevin Keegan for us? So not all dick heads.

 

[PrestonCha]

Robbie Williams, Phil Taylor, Johnny Wilkes, Lemmy from Motorhead, and departed user. Good luck beating that.

Don't forget Robbie Earle.

 

[Freakyteeth]

na na na na na naaa robbie robbie earle robbie earle robbie robbie earle na na na na na naaaa

 

[Craig]

Are they all actual Rovers fans Wizard or are you just naming folk from Doncaster?

 

[hodge]

Take Justin Lee Collins out, seems to only mention us when we are on the up, Russel Crowe is a Leeds follower if any club from England, think his mate got us to keep an eye on our results at best.

What have Bristol City achieved in recent seasons that make them bigger than Coventry?

 

[JJH]

What have Bristol City achieved in recent seasons that make them bigger than Coventry?

I'm not talking in terms of achievement, I'm saying crowds etc..

And if we are talking in terms of achievements, nothing is sorted yet, but the fact that we should win L1, and could be 2 divisions apart next season.

Depends on what you clarify as recent, since 2006/07 we won promotion that season to the championship, then one game from the premier league while coventry slipped into league 1, then a good few seasons in the championship while coventry continued to struggle in league 1 and now we've been relegated it looks like we could be going back up this season with coventry are at risk of slipping to league 2 and I suppose you can chuck in a trip to Wembley for us. So it comes down to how you classify one club being bigger than the other.

 

[Gerry Gow]

They were in the top flight for 34 consecutive seasons to be fair to Cov.

 

[JonBCFC]

We arent bigger than Coventry. "big" clubs arent just about attendences imo. Think its a mix between that, and honours... and we have fuck all.

Sheffield utd
Coventry
Preston
Bristol city
Bradford
Barnsley

Also, fuck Justin lee collins, and pretty sure Crowe is a leeds fan... Some of the others is pretty cool though

Which is why I ask how do you classify one club being bigger than another, how big of a club are Portsmouth compared to teams in league 1 given their current struggles? Same can be said for the Coventry/City comparison, what if either we go up and/or Coventry go down. In serparate divisions would we then be bigger than Coventry? That's potentially only 11 games away.

Portsmouth are bigger than most of the clubs in League 1.

 

[Gerry Gow]

You just know somebody is bigger than the other, like Oxford are bigger than Swindon.

Could you try to stop fishing for just one minute and post something worthwhile?

what a load fucking shite willy waving competition

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

I know this is League One but how would people rank Wigan? Only use them as an example as I find it hard to rank them. Personally don't view them much more than a lower Championship/ higher League 1 club, yet they've spent 8 years in the top flight and won an FA Cup all in recent years

Historically a lower league/non-league team and, despite their recent successes, well on their way to returning to their rightful and natural level.

Crawley and Fleetwood mk 1

They've only been in the league since 1980 ffs

Fleetwood - never 'eard of 'em..

 

[GloverGing]

Fleetwood and Crawley, are the only two teams in the league I consider to be smaller than us.

This. Fucking hate Wigan.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Crawley and Fleetwood mk 1

Despite that they've still won more than we have in our history, and spent just 1 less season in the top tier

 

[Chris]

Basically Wigan's willy is bigger than you think

 

[Freakyteeth]

Artificially.

 

[TTOCS]

I suppose Wigan are bigger than us too seeing as they won the cup. Never mind the fact they will be back down to 4 figure crowds soon enough.
