I note a thread on the OinkUn which says of TWTD 'One thing I've noticed is their incessant need to repeatedly claim that they are a 'Big Club'. It's constant. Daily mentions. Almost every thread has it somewhere.'
I'm not going to go in hard on this, but is there any truth in that at all? I can't say that I can remember seeing a 'big club' mentality here at all, ever.
I know we mock the budgies, and (like the bookies) most of us think we're one of the favourites to win the Championship this year, but that's not at all the same thing as a big club mentality.
I'm trying to stay open-minded in case I'm wrong and we do have that, but to me it just looks - not even like an exaggeration, or a big exaggeration - but completely and utterly invented.
Am I losing the plot and it does exist here, or is this just completely invented twaddle, and if so why? Is it just insecurity?
edit: It's not just the OP of that thread, it's every response which seems to agree with it. Maybe he means Twitter (which I don't look at). [Post edited 21 Jul 12:24]

Imagine being a Norwich supporter and reading every TWTD thread daily.
What a sad little life Jane. |  | | |

The only poster I can remember who did this was that weird Pompey fan that seemed to be omnipresent on here a few years ago.
I still chuckle at his claim that 5k Pompey fans missed a match due to a coaches breaking down. |  |

The trouble is, when you are a small club looking longingly at a bigger club with a much more significant history and trophy record, it is only human nature to be envious as a result of an obvious inferiority complex.
Sad thing is, even when we were in League One, they still suffered from that complex . . . |  | | |

There's a bit of it in relation to some of the new established EPL clubs like Brentford and Brighton. Pockets of "why would player x//McKenna join them, we're a bigger club?"
Definitely not incessant and, although I don't visit any Norwich forums, it's certainly not as prevalent as their obsession with "16 years!" on social media comments sections |  | | |

Just like any fanbase, plenty of clowns around, some think we are a bigger club in the grand scheme of football than we are, some talk some laughable nonsense, and some talk a lot of sense.
We are no different, Norwich are no different. Just part of the fun. |  | | |

Yes, I suppose I've seen a little bit of that, but it's 'bigger', never 'big' and, quite rightly, those assertions are usually overwhelmed by posters saying something along the lines of "well they're an established PL club and consequently have a bigger pull than us the moment." | |

You still have a mortgage?
Surely you could pay that off if you sell a few audis? |  |

This comes from a site that also claimed that we all thought that we would end up in Europe last season. If anything most fans thought it would be a success just to avoid relegation. Most fans I know were very realistic about expectations last season albeit still disappointed how me fell away totally after Xmas. |  | | |

I only said and hoped we could finish 17th last season who would have thought it was so hard?
Still one win at home and all that. |  |

“Incessant”
“Repeatedly”
“Constant”
“Daily Mentions”
“Almost every thread”.
As if we needed further evidence of their inability to read or count accurately; not to mention their love of exaggeration. They probably count it as an achievement to participate in a thread slagging off their rivals’ highly popular site. |  |
