LUX T Rex, last time you posted on here I invited you to post the list of teams, apart from Reading obviously, Plymouth were bigger than in this Division.
You didn't reply.
Have another go.
We're at least as big as Barnsley, Doncaster, Blackpool, Burnley, Preston, and Watford in terms of how far we could go "naturally".
Then there are little clubs who've been bankrolled to their current status like you, QPR, Cardiff, but in reality there is little between us.
Then there are clubs on the crest of a wave like Bristol City, Swansea who're enjoying a temporary high and will be back down when the novelty wears off. We averaged higher than both in our first season despite not having a sniff of the playoffs, you'll notice.
Then there are clubs who are small-time but recently enjoyed a spell of success in the Premiership like Southampton, Coventry, Charlton, Palace. All of whom's attendances are slipping away quite drastically (as yours will if you dont get re-promoted soon).
Then there are clubs who're naturally bigger than us and probably always will be unless we get sustained success, Norwich, Wolves, Ipswich, Brum, the Sheffields.
