Us and PNE were neck and neck for being the biggest under achievers of the Prem era. PNE were considered the ‘winner’ because they have previous league and cup wins in their history. My personal opinion is that our success in the 70s was at a time we weren’t considered nice as a club and a city. In fact the intimidation level here was pretty high from the moment you parked your car. These days we have the effing singing section and minimal vocal support behind the goal, but give that to our opponents! The utterly **** decisions in this area just make me angry and just continues the idea we are soft. Which is true. I’m only in my 20s but every time I hear someone say singing section I can’t help but cringe . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the course of their history they have won four league titles, six FA Cups and a European title (Fairs Cup). Even in their more recent history they’ve spent the majority of their time in the Premier League, qualified to play in Europe and reached FA Cup finals. That’s a hell of a lot more than us. Oh please! We once won the Welsh Cup. Newcastle never got near that trophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If we go by the simple size of city = should have football success… then it’s Bath surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the most depressing - but relatable - single sentence I've read in two decades of browsing this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we are the club that used to average 14k in Champ and 11k in League One anymore I hope that if the drop does come, that the support holds up. I'm doubtful though.

Exactly. I’m in my 60s as I’m sure you worked out. Nice ground, nice city, nice club, it even has a singing section. Luckily this is the manking section that very occasionally is not talking complete bollox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bath has a fairly small population for a city though of just around 100,000. I can see why you’d say bath but there’s lots of higher population towns and city’s with poor teams .

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Is Plymouth still the biggest English city with a league club that has never played in the top division? Whenever they used to play Hull back in the day they always used to say they were the biggest two. Obviously that changed a few years back............................................
