Get bigger attendances than us and have a better team. Historically they may well be a smaller club than us but at this moment in time they are way ahead of us like it or not. The way they are heading and they way we are heading that gap is going to get bigger. So Leicester are bigger than Leeds because they are in a league higher and have new state of the art facilities? Of course not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are established over a reasonable period of time, not a snapshot of league position. It's not impossible for us to be a division higher than Mansfield next season. Remember soon to be non-league Yeovil in the Championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had slightly higher attendances this year during a great run for promotion. When was the last year they had higher attendances than us before this year? I think it has happened a couple of times in the last 50 years...70’s I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average League 2 Attendances 18-19 season Yes, see above. We probably would get bigger attendances in their position but it doesn't matter because that's not where we are that's a hypothetical situation.

Lee Sinnott Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Predictions for the game? Reckon we'll line up with Missilou and Sylla in midfield. Hunt, Mauoche and Nepo in behind COG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumed the tweeter was correct. Just checked and you are right, they’ll probably need a point from their last two games with their superior goal difference. I’ll get me coat. They could have gone up tomorrow if they had won instead of drawing against Latics at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not. People always seem to confuse big and great. Forest are a great club, as are Leicester now given what both achieved being far “smaller” than others based on attendance, capacity, fan base beyond the local area, finances etc... I’d say we’re one of the greatest clubs at our level given what we did 30 years ago and how we continue to have days like Fulham, Everton and Liverpool. Very few clubs can match us in that regard... Liverpool are great and big. City and Chelsea I wouldn’t describe as great given they’ve bought success. Over time they could become great though. Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle I’d argue are possibly the worst clubs in the world given their size and the fact they’re usually shite. Amirite lads?

Ours has been flat since 2010, theirs is volatile, for example they had a 3 year spell about 10 years ago with much higher attendances than now. But let’s leave it there, facts don’t interest you.

That's utter bollox. It's getting more and more like Twitter on here. What does it really matter who thinks one club is "bigger" than another...most probably every football fan thinks their club are bigger because their club means more to them than any other. History, past glories, training facilities all mean nothing to the shifting sands of football. If Mansfield do gain promotion and Latics knock them out of the FA Cup next season, it will be considered the metaphorical 'giant killing'. That's football for you, it's all about the here and now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
