As I said, it depends what era we are looking at. Many people still have an old school mentality when it comes to what defines "big". Big certainly did mean how many fans you had through the gate each week, but it all boiled down to money and financial clout at the end of the day.
Now SKY has levelled a lot of that out and has simplified it, meaning any club in the Premier League at that time is much bigger than a championship club or lower. I mean it is not a hard and fast rule, if man united got relegated they would still be bigger than the vast majority because of their commercial prowess.
But those clubs that defy the current rule are few and far between, the top 6 or 7 basically. We are currently among the top 15 biggest clubs in the English pyramid. When relegated it will be re evaluated. |

Absolutely were. Thats why Martinez left us for them and why they could attract players such as Valencia,They were a bigger club than us. They are not big now because they are on the verge of league 1 with a small income.
"Big" is transient and ever changing. Crowds are only relevant before SKY and outside of the Prem, otherwise it makes little difference whether you get 20,000 or 30,000. I don't and never have seen attendance as something that constitutes "big".
We have one of the largest catchment areas in the UK. We basically have all of South and mid Wales. I am not claiming we are a huge club, far from it. My point is we are not a small club and thats as far away from "bollocks" as you can get. Our "smallness" is many peoples safety blanket, they feel safe and content behind it.
The reality is we are a decent sized club these days with out own identity and some major financial clout. |

It was Phil last night... against all his protestations of "ive not seen you even come close to deserving a ban". [Post edited 12 Mar 2015 13:08]
