Sorry Al, Don't agree with your logic there. Higher league doesn't necessarily mean bigger. Wigan bigger than Leeds or Sheff Wed? Don't think so.
I appreciate you are having a bit of banter with our mate from The Dell but that argument doesn't add up.

It doesn't add up at all. I watched the Wales, and then the England game tonight with a Wigan fan. He was telling me how he went to the game at White Hart Lane last week when Wigan won 1-0 - what a result!
He said there was approximately 60 fans there. 60 FANS?!

Fans were told that our shirt was being changed to this.Guess you kinda fell for it too.

Correct and even if we dont go up this season for some reason, you cant deny we will eventually and pretty much stay in the mix with Derby, Leicester etc. Meanwhile Pompey looked pretty doomed. The only thing they have thats bigger than us is their NPC status, and that aint gonna last is it.

Sadly there are no 'big'clubs on the south coast. But Southampton, with a record attendance of only 32,000, and a highest ever league average of well below that, and only one major trophy to their name, are probably below Pompey by any reckoning, except possibly current attendances, where neither club's are anything to crow about compared to the likes of Sheff Wed or even Naaarwich.

Southampton are far bigger than shitty pompey!
Pompey have acheived in recent years by seriously overspending,pompey had about 30 years+ of very average crowds.
Plus the saints spent decades in the top flight
until recent years pompey have had just 1 season in the top flight since 1950.
The saints in recent years had over 33 years in the top flight and have averaged over 30k 3 times in recent years.
Its clear to see we will be the 2nd biggest soon

Twat. Even has a faux Cockney twang to his retarded voice. He is going to get beaten up, a lot.
Yes, but Saints spent years in the top flight virtually unnoticed by all but their own fans, for many seasons playing in a 'stadium' holding only 15,000. And let's not forget, they too have been in administration, i.e. living beyond their means. Saints and Pompey fans arguing over who's the bigger club are like two slap-heads fighting over a comb.

Towards the end of the Dell's tenure the capacity was 15,000. Before the Taylor report it was above 20 and there were plent of other clubs in the top flight with similar grounds. Pompey's success has been artificial with money they didnt have. Cant say that about our 1977 - 2005 top flight status.
Pompey won the league twice and the cup once long before football went money mad, their highest average gate was well above Saints record-ever crowd. Saints were in the top flight for a long time without ever making much impact, a dull little club who in the end were forever fighting relegation. When they finally slipped out of the division, they'd done so little for so long it was quite a while before anyone even noticed they'd gone. And with their identikit stadium and quiet fans, i doubt anyone's in a rush to have them back.

Most of the people on my street support saints, apart from me (good banter tho) and a spurs supporter. With the players you have you should win the division. But your not, Pompey are doomed and will be in league one next season. Getting rid of Pardew just after a 4-0 win and just seemed to get it going is ridiculous! But will improve and if not, something is very wrong!
