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

[Silverhatch]

Ask the question to anyone under 25, especially Japanese, Ecuadorians, Argentinians etc and the answers will be very different than those provided by people who idolise John Wark or Peter Ward.

 

[Albion my Albion]

so it depends how you want to measure it.

All I know is it better be a schöne mädchen that does the measuring.

We are quite big now i suppose but it's all very 'new money'. I mean Brentford and Bournemouth are just as big by that metric for fucks sake.

I think we've always aspired to be as big as a club like Ipswich, and now we're getting there. But the existence of the big 6 means we'll probably never really 'get there'

True, but they'll also tell you that Brentford are bigger than Sunderland, so that may not be a good metric

I still remember Ipswich when I was about 13-ish qualifying for Europe. I loved Sixto Peralta because his name was FLAIR. Think they got relegated that european season though?

They did in 2001/02, yrs.

But something even more bizarre and probably unique- The following season they played in the UEFA Cup despite being a Division 2 team and not having won a domestic trophy.

I'll leave that as a one off quiz question.

I've always liked Ipswich Town. I think I've seen Albion there three times. Always a good trip was that. I'm hoping Leeds United come up as well. A good old line up for the league next year me thinks.

Does it matter? Not really.

With a population of 273,000, Brighton is bigger than Ipswich which only has 136,000 residents.

But they do have an FA Cup, a UEFA cup and a First Division title.

In reality, there’s only a Port Vale between us. See the link.

Currently us, historically obviously them. English Champions, UEFA and FA Cup winners! I wish.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Ipswich and it’s not even close.

I cannot believe so many people appear to care about this childish nonsense.

Brighton , Hove and surrounding area is nearer to half a million

Ipswich were bigger and certainly have more history. Brighton are bigger at this moment in time. Both have a hard core of about 12,000 fans and both have capacity's around the 30.000 mark, our a little higher, their's a little lower. We are a better prospect atm, but who knows in ten years time. I'd call it a even draw. With Ipswich winning on the past scorecard and us winning on the last decade and current scorecard.

Ipswich and it’s not even close.

Exactly, it isn't even close. Some people have a very warped/deluded view of this club...imho
