We never have been a big Club...ever.

We have been a medium sized Club that has historically punched above its weight but...not for a very long time.

I hate to admit I've always felt we're a smaller club than the overall fan base seems to think we are.

We were never a big club in the true sense of the terminology, we were a medium size club punching well above its weight under Sir Booby , and sadly never punch that hard again since , maybe briefly in Burleys 1st Prem season .

We’ve played what 5 seasons of top flight football in 35 years. I bet nobody mentioned that one to Gamechanger when they were mugged off for 40mil by Evans! If only Evans had shown as much skill as that in the transfer market…

We have a real superiority complex as a fanbase - the fact people honestly thought Lampard was a realistic option is prime evidence of that - we’re a mid table league one side who have no identity about them currently and some of us would do well to remember that

"Sir Booby" is the comic relief we need this evening.

Disagree. I think we're medium.

We're not minnows.

We're not a small club.

We're not a big club.

We're not a giant.

I think small club is unfair. We are clearly not a big club though.

Plenty of similar and smaller sized clubs than us can be successful in the modern era- Brentford, Bournemouth, Burnley, Brighton all spring immediately to mind.

The difference is, they've been well run top to bottom consistently.

We've been woefully run

He is indeed correct. We are very an average sized club. Not big, not small.

Being a ‘big club’ doesn’t mean you get 3 points on a match day anyway.

Yeah, the genuine belief from some that Lampard, Farke and Mowbray would come here was incredibly concerning levels of delusion

I can't think of too many 'small clubs' who are allegedly paying wages of 10k a week in league 1.

Depends on the definition of big. Bournemouth struggle to get 10k a week but they are certainly more successful than us now. Watford get 20-odd in the Prem. We still get 17-odd in league one.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

My mistake, hopefully that's not a freudian slip. Edited.
