[Albion] Brighton v Ipswich: which club is bigger?

[Garyoldfan]

Shit thread. We’re better than this.

 

[Hometownglory]

History it's Ipswich and more recently it's us. Simples. You can't rewrite history but you can create it.

 

[banjo]

Tin pot.

 

[The Grockle]

By almost all metrics Ipswich are bigger.

For me you have to consider the following:

Honours. Ipswich win
Historical league placing. Ipswich win
Top flight seasons. Ipswich win
Record attendance. Ipswich win

If you really care about sizing our club you need to think about it objectively. Palace are a very similar sized club to us. If you think club is bigger than that lot, they are bigger than us IMO

 

[Hugo Rune]

Historically Ipswich without doubt.

But if you live in the present rather than the past and compare things like players, infrastructure, international fans, stadium and training ground, we are in a different league to our six fingered friends (well perhaps not for too much longer).

Brighton - based purely on the catchment area

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I think Ipswich I think that idiotic banner a few years back and this character. Always a strange fanbase. It's on the way to Turnip Taliban territory so not overly surprising. Bigger club? Meh.

46% of whom aren't into football. Another 47.5% of whom support a big six team. Leaving 6.5% Albion. Ipswich are bigger.

 

[Weststander]

Voted, then ignore thread forever.

 

[Napper]

And to think other teams fans laugh at our arrogance

I know in 1980/81 there was nothing to choose between the two clubs, we both won a trophy

 

[Zeus]

Historically they are but at this exact point in time us by distance. If they manage to stay up a few years then you’d say them overall.

 

[Wallace]

Ipswich by a mile.
If we ever win a European trophy then we can have the discussion.

 

[A1X]

“Ipswich Town” has 11 letters.

“Brighton and Hove Albion” has 21 letters.

Making us nearly twice as big as them.

Is the correct answer. Even Bournemouth are bigger. Ipswich need to get their heads round PL isn’t like it once was, even a few seasons ago and certainly not the 90s let alone the 70s

Better or bigger!

 

[Justice]

Preston NE have won more than us first team to do the double who’s the biggest club?
If we are going down the route of who won what 50 years ago.

There are some things money can't buy. NSC Polls aren't one of them. The (Bozza's Platinum) Amex.

Yes let’s not forget that
