Pompey the Roman General had a weekend place in Colchester.

Wasnt Pompey a big Volcano?

Would agree with most of that, Cardiff definitely have the potential to be a lot bigger, how many people currently leave South Wales to go and watch clubs like Man Utd, Liverpool and Villa every weekend. It wouldn't be an easy job to change the status quo, but give them a new ground and I could see them doubling their attendances overnight, much in the way that Southampton did.

I'd prefer a Premiership of 16 clubs

Championship of 20 clubs

League 1 of 24 clubs
League 2 of 24 clubs
League 3 of 24 clubs

League 3 would need to take the top 16 clubs from the Conference to make it add up.

It would make it harder to get into the Premiership, of course, but you would still have a 3 up 3 down rule.

Ready to be flamed!

I think we should be regarded as a big club. I think we are on the same levels as say clubs like Pompey, Leicester, Norwich, Birmingham etc... We are definately bigger than Clubs ike Torquay, Port Vale, Chesterfield, Darlington, Brentford. These sorts of clubs will always remain small. Brighton has potential. So the sooner LDC get their fingers out of their behinds and give up the better.

When we do get Falmer I think we would fill the stadium if we where in the top of the Championship no problem. Sorry top harp on but I used to love waking up on a Saturday knowing I was going to watch Brighton at the goldstone. £8.00 to get in as well you could go wrong.

WE NEED THIS STADIUM NOW!!

 

[Goring Gull]

Same as Birmingham and Pompey!!!! I think not we are small time poss middling championship but never a big club.

Since when have pompey been a big club? I've always had them down as being a bit of a no-mark club that got promoted thanks to Milan mandaric giving harry redknapp enough money to bring in 37,000 aging pro's.

Pompey for me are amongst the great number of 'mid-sized' clubs.

but of course, Goring has bought into the Pompey fan propoganda that they are a MASSIVE club - just because they take 10,000 to Wimbledon when they're 15 points clear at the top of the table. Conveniently forgetting that they were getting 6,000 tops when they were last in division 3.

Couldn't agree more Goring, although you need your frickin head testing for having Portsmouth in there! There are SOO many pointless fixtures in the Premiership. Outside of their own supporters who really switches on MOTD to watch games involving Fulham, Charlton, Middlesboro, Wigan, Bolton, Wigan, Blackburn or even Everton. I'm all for the big teams maintaining their grip on the Prem, you need your Man Utds, Liverpools and Arsenals, but most fans outside of these clubs are too bitter to see that, including far too many on here.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Isn't it Dublin?

Dublin has at times pretty much had all of the sides that make up the Irish top division.

Nothing worse than settling in to watch match of the day on saturday evening only to realise none of the big teams ar eon it as allplaying on the sunday... Only entertaiment is watching Lineker and co trying to make the rest of it intresting.

i don't care who is playing, if it is football then i will watch it, just because i love the game. For me the games with the 'small' teams often show more passion and excitement than some of the big clubs

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

what about Coventry?

 

[surrey jim]

what about Coventry?

edit

 

[supaseagull]

If you are talking about 'big clubs' with a history of having a large fan base then

Wolves
Bristol City
Coventry
WBA
Ipswich
Norwich
Brighton
Palarse(although it makes me hurt just saying it!)
Stoke
Derby

Take away

Birmingham
Hull
Cardiff
portsmouth
Sheff utd

 

[Albion Dan]

Take away

Birmingham
Sheff utd

Are you having a laugh? Birmingham are massive, and have lots of history, as do Sheff Utd.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

..and what history counts?

Burnley [twice]
Preston [twice]
Sunderland [six times!]
Huddersfield [three consecutive seasons!]
Ipswich
Derby County [twice]
Sheffield Wednesday [four times!]

have all won the top division. Is it only the history and tradition that you choose that matters?
