All of the following played to sell out crowds in the Premier, but look at their attendances after dropping down to the Championship, never mind lg1. Teams like Cardiff, QPR, Stoke, Boro are all playing in front of 1,000s of empty seats, you can only imagine how many more empty seats there would be in lg1. It's difficult to define a big club, some have compared transfer fees paid out, it's hardly surprising that we can't compete after not being in the Premier for so long, but if a team like Man U ever fell down the leagues for many years, they would always be a massive club. In my opinion, it takes a sustained period of time for a club to become a 'big' club and likewise a long period of time for a club to completely lose that status. Teams like Bolton with a history further back than us, still hold some kind of 'bigness' from that successful time many years ago. Teams like Stoke, QPR and Cardiff have won the fairly recent lottery of promotion to the Premier and the fortune of being owned by very wealthy people. If they came down to lg1, their crowds wouldn't compare with those at PP, the away support from small clubs wouldn't compare with those at PP and those small club's home attendances wouldn't match those when Derby were the visitors, the reason being that none of those clubs are as 'big' as Derby. Success is the only thing that those clubs had going for them but success isn't everything, are clubs like Fester and Wigan bigger than Newcastle and Spurs because of fairly recent trophy wins? I have no idea what point you're trying to make there and there is a lot of assumption dressed up as fact, but my point is this, which you actually back up with your second paragraph: Derby in L1 play in front of the same amount of fans than they have done historically. Obviously when we're doing well more people come, and when we play well supported teams they bring more fans so gates are higher. You mention Cardiff, QPR etc - they too are playing to the same sort of crowds they always have done. My point wasn't ever about comparing us to other clubs - there are a million reasons why clubs attract the numbers they do; social, economical, geographical - but was to present a counter view to those who think we're massive or something amazing because we play in front of the same amount of supporters, more of less, than we always have done. But that was several pages ago now, and it really wasn't worth this much discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ITVX, This Morning I got up at 6-30am to watch the England Vs Australian Women at rugby, Got to the live channel and...nowt just a black screen, Tried with the other TV in another room...same again, Feck this...had a go on my laptop and got to see it that way, Not sure what the issue was as all other ITVX programmes were OK, But it was a stream from OZ and it was pissing it down🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 ITVX channel on a smart TV is absolutely crap. It works with the same frequency as Spurs winning the league. Just use a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already kick off in that dog crap competition at 7 as these 16 yr olds were playing against will be going to school the following day. Playing exactly halfway through the school week would be too taxing. Unless it's half term of course and they've not had a late evening trick or treating the night before. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I detest this competition with a passion it's so far removed from what it's original incarnation of the Sherpa Van was for. Allowing clubs with no realistic chance of a FA/League cup win the chance to see their side at Wembley. I'd consider winning this trophy a stain on the history of the club. I've watched the games in the hope of seeing some young players get a run out but it appears Warne may actually want to progress and have the ignominy of losing to someones U21'S at Wembley. Each to their own mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
