What makes a club a big club? 17:23 - Dec 22 with 2824 views | Superblue95 | On Sky Sports News Jeff Sterling was talking about the late championship game and described Hull and Swansea as "two big clubs having a disappointing season" I wouldn't describe either of them as 'big clubs'. I know they've had a few years in the prem but to my mind they are still 3rd/4th division clubs punching above their weight somewhat | |

Ah yes, the glorious history of Hull and Swansea. | |

That's not really accurate though. If I said Lowestoft was a big club I'd just be plain wrong. If I said Real Madrid was a tiny tin pot outfit then equally I'd be wrong. | |

Yeah but Lowestoft are a big club if you play for The Gardner’s Arms fc or something and draw them in the cup. People trying to describe Ipswich as a big club on a national level are living in the past and as for Hull & Swansea, they’re in fantasyland | | | |

What makes a club a big club? on 18:20 - Dec 22 with 2392 views | Nthsuffolkblue | It is all about Premier League money nowadays. The relegated 3 should always go straight back up and the promoted clubs straight back down. The fact this never happens and relegated teams often struggles passes the commentators by. | |

What makes a club a big club? on 18:23 - Dec 22 with 2367 views | J2BLUE | I think, in Stelling's defence, he would have said that for about 20 of the clubs in this division. I doubt he put too much thought into it. I'd argue the Championship is full of big clubs. As someone else said though it's a nothing term and completely down to individual interpretation. A quick scan of the league and I would say 18-20 are 'big clubs' to me. | |

Who has said we're a big club? Even in our pomp we were never a big club. | |

Not a BIG club but over about a decade we were rightly rated as one of the TOP two or three. I think I can pretty safely say that for most of that time any supporter of (almost) any club if asked who were the top teams in the Country a hell of a lot would say Liverpool and then us. | | | |

I suspected as much but was checking to make sure I wasn't the only one. Based on the majority of responses most people seem to agree wit my reaction. Hull and Swansea big clubs | |
