Kodjias Wrist Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Having Brighton and Brentford in the small six is pretty ridiculous considering recent years. Goes back to the old argument of 'what makes a big club' because as our attendances show we are a top half supported club even after two or three pretty poor seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, 7th in terms of attendances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 ‘Big’ and ‘small’ club is intentionally vague. If you’re talking attendances we’re pretty big in the Championship. If you’re talking honours/trophies we are indeed in the ‘small 6’. Stadium/facilities we’re big. Historic League position we’re probably middling to low. But if random Twitter accounts want to name us a ‘small 6’ club, the best thing we can do is prove them wrong. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller in terms of crowds but they do have more years in the top flight and a League Cup. I can only assume this is based on honours and top flight years as in terms of attendances we were the 7th best supported team in the Championship last season. I’d swap Sheffield Utd for Crystal Palace in the Prem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I also love how most predictions I have seen have us around 17-20th. I think many are going to be very surprised this season. Edited July 12, 2023 by W-S-M Seagull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both ourselves and Hull bigger than Swansea and QPR, for a start. Let alone Cardiff being very similar. And that's ignoring the actual small clubs who are somehow thought as big like no fans Blackburn Both Sheff Utd and Brighton are significantly bigger clubs than Palace also Edited July 12, 2023 by cidercity1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 That looks like he knows the Premier League and has just guessed all the other divisions. City and Preston for two are not remotely amongst the smallest six clubs in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 He's not even picked QPR as one of the small 6 for the championship! Which I would've had also what is the basis on? Because if it's by attendance we should be nowhere near the small 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know the answer to this, but thought I'd ask. What does our spending on incoming transfers look like in comparison to other clubs in our division this pre-season? I know wages also play a part in that, but was curious that a clubs size could also be somewhat dependent on their spending power also.

Without taking the time to dissect other clubs business, I'd guess we're around maybe 5th to 10th for money spent this window? Sounds as though we've spent a little under 5 million on McCrorie, Dickie and Knight. Coventry just splashed 8 million on Ellis Simms, so they're immediately clear of us. Worth bearing in mind, looking at one window in isolation can be quite misleading. Prior to this window, we've been very cautious financially with free agents and small fees (George Tanner) for a good two or three years, as we navigated FFP issues. This summer, we seem to be past said issues and with the Semenyo sale and a potential further big pay packet coming for Scott, we've loosened the belt substantially.

Fair point looking back over the last few seasons, however the article refers to the teams in their current respective divisions, so I think the article should only base their findings on the here and now. ...or to put it another way, let's ignore the article as they're shit stirring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always assumed they were around the 18 or 19, 000 mark at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
