Sheffield Wednesday are bleedin' massive, whether they're going up or down. Next season is not so much about how "big" the other teams are - although, having said that, I'd like Rotherham in this division every time we're in it - it’s about us and what we do with what we've got. Look what we've done today. One of the three coming up will likely struggle in the bottom 4 or 5. The bigger they are, the bigger the muddle they can get themselves in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol, South Bristol in particular, is seeing big population growth. There is a reason why they are adding an extra constituency to Bristol in the boundary changes. Rovers are an increasingly limited draw. Somerset is a big county. Bath has a non league club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool , Man Utd, Arsenal are massive because they’ve won dozens of trophy’s over decades . Therefore history defines them as huge clubs . If you lived in the past & took their trophy’s away they wouldn’t be as big as they are would they. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 2 minutes ago, Fuber said: ... so they're bigger than us? Half the size of Bristol, population wise, but one club City helps.
