Red-Robbo Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 16 minutes ago, GrahamC said: To be fair to Cotterill, he took over when Shrewsbury were bottom, (2 wins all season) then beat 3 of the top 4 away in his first 4 games, he had Shrewsbury well clear of relegation, spent a month in an ICU battling Covid & only returned a couple of games from the end with Shrewsbury in 17th. How on earth does that compare with Barton’s incredible achievement of taking over a side a point outside the relegation zone & then finishing last? Barton isn’t fit to clean Cotts shoes, in every respect. My point was, Gray, how could they do worse than ending the season in last place? What's amusing is that they assume they'll bounce back instantly. Every division they play in they assume they are a 'big club' at that level. They made the same assumption last time they dropped to the basement. That didn't end too well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They massively exaggerate their support & seem to think the football world loves them, too. Weird. Can only believe the muppet who posted this dragged Cotts in as an example because he is “one of those gurt shitheads” not the smartest example to use, was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their 5-7k crowds (should they win often enough; and perhaps with a generous voucher scheme to boost attendance numbers like they ran following their humiliating relegation from the bottom in 2014), I can see them throwing their weight around a bit and enjoying being "big" for once, as they mix with yer diddy Crawleys, Stevenages, Forest Greens and Barrows. I think they will enjoy it, for a year at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon you’re being a little generous there tbh MoP The big club, little club debate crops up every so often and is pretty subjective and all depends on the criteria used. To put it into context, with our pretty poor record of success over our history, but balanced by our decent crowds and excellent stadium, I’d say we we’re still pretty medium to small at Championship level. We could probably say we would be biggish at League 1 level. Given how far those deluded f*****s are behind us in all crieria you could possibly compare in that horrible excuse for a club, to say they are only one division behind us is giving them far more credit than they deserve imho.

weepywall Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Bradford by far the biggest club in league 2, I would put the Gas on par with Tranmere, Carlisle and Port Vale but with a far worse ground than any of the above, infact they probably have one of the worst grounds in that division.

This is where the subjectivity comes in, as do you look at the average over a club’s whole history, the last few decades, or where they actually are today to decide on a club’s stature? I’ll bet there will be a fair few League 2 clubs rolling up at that hell hole of a ground next season and happily believing they’re bigger than the Sags. Maybe I’m just biased though!
