• But what was the purpose in making the point if not to draw some distinction/ establish some form of hierarchy /historical pecking order? And talking about our respective levels of distinction smacks a little of 2 bald men fighting over a comb. A few yrs ago QPR fans were big on claiming they were a bigger club than us – who cares – neither of us are big historically. I like the fact that more clubs of our historic size are starting to challenge the natural order of things.

  • So there is a natural order of things in football? (NT) -- The Drobe, Monday, March 03, 03:18:21pm (host86-149-115-76.range86-149.btcentralplus.com/86.149.115.76)
    • perhaps I should have said challenging the recent monopoly of the big clubs in terms of trophies and league positions (NT) -- f bloke, Monday, March 03, 03:25:35pm (host86-134-9-56.range86-134.btcentralplus.com/86.134.9.56)

• Never heard big city/provincial used to describe a club. Does that mean Orient or Barnet, being ‘big city clubs’ are superior to BHA? Not long ago so many get annoyed by fawning over the likes of forest/villa/Leeds due to their history and air of superiority, now we are apparently superior as we played 1 European final (BHA played in Europe more recent than us) and from London, just weird, who cares, BHA/B.mouth/FFC are 3 well run clubs punching above their weight with great style.

  • That is the point I was trying to make. Those facts don't mean bigger or better. But it is also weird to say all 3 of us are punching above our weight whilst having a pop at someone having an opinion of our relative weight to each other.

    • Exactly. Thanks. You can't refer to "bigger clubs" in a post and then criticise other people for discussing the relative size of clubs. Double-standards. (NT) -- k, Tuesday, March 04, 01:41:52pm (host81-133-110-86.in-addr.btopenworld.com/81.133.110.86)
      • Personally think double standards also exist where people complain about the self entitlement and importance of fans of eg the big 6 and their patronising attitude to all other clubs - and then do the same to the clubs they consider below them in some sort of artificially contrived pecking order.
