Well,having read all that,obviously a little history,some snobbery and so forth,perhaps the OP could be a little less defensive? Anyway,having reviewed my comment's i would still go for 20,000 Jcl's,however if i am being honest,i having followed Albion since 1988 proper,would love to have had...
I shall read this thread fully to see what all the fuss is about-personally i would have 20,000 JCL's as for 14 years we lost a whole load of support,football has changed and it's not going back,also Brighton had pre Cardiff 2004 over 20,000 on it's data base.
