toddy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As we have been arguable the biggest club in the championship for the last couple of seasons and that had always brought media pressure upon us. I am wondering with Newcastle and Villa now championship clubs it might take us out of the spot light and pressure off us - possibly a good thing as well?

Wolfie Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We are still the biggest club in the Championship and probably always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Absolutely meaningless title anyway. Every fan of every club uses a different equation to make their's the "biggest club". Seems to be something along the lines of size of attendance divided by size of the city, times by trophies won, subtracted by amount of time since the last trophy was won, to the power of how many celebrity fans you have. Personally, there is not a single thing on this planet that I find more dull than us comparing penis sizes club sizes with Forest, cross referencing past successes with attendances and blah blah blah blah blah. I think you're on to something regarding the fact that the media will have other stories to focus on other than Derby, probably resulting in our matches being televised less frequently. We can go about our business a little more quietly for a start. And for those that suggest we bottle it in front of the cameras, I disagree - I think the opposition turn up for Sky. Everyone loved to beat us last season and the added factor of live television only made our job harder. Another reason why we were on TV a lot was because of Paul Clement, and I for one am delighted at the prospect of starting off the season without hearing the names Carlo Ancelotti, PSG, Real Madrid or Cristiano Ronaldo used like they have anything to do with Derby.

Sith Happens Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I thought Forest were not only the biggest club in the championship, but in the world too? That's what their fans always tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. And this year Newcastle will be the ones under the media spot light, no doubt the club that every team will love to get the scalp of.

G STAR RAM Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 We've never been the biggest club in The Championship as long as we've been in it. We may have had the highest average home attendance a couple of times and had a bit of expectation last couple of years but we've never been the biggest club.

Chris Mills Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Difficult to say who the biggest club is but it certainly isn't us, and wasn't lasts year either. Going from a neutral perspective is probably a good way to go and although it would vary person to person I reckon most people would go with Newcastle or Leeds.

You're a clown if you're looking forward to It's going to be Vardy this and Wes Morgan that, 'Jacob Butterfield the new Danny Drinkwater?', 'is Darren Bent the new Jamie Vardy except older and more black and his best days are behind him instead of ahead?' or something about ostriches. Don't even get me started on if we get Leicester in a cup competition. And that's without obligatory mentions of Wembley and Zamora. The Sky Sports commentary bingo hell that is all of our lives has only just begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I can't see why people get worked up about this. It's as meaningless as that other pathetic description used by the unimaginative minions... 'Tin pot'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
