Biggest clubs (by support and history) never in the Prem

Eddiespearritt · Apr 28, 2016

Are we the biggest club in waiting ?

Brighton, Bristol City, Huddersfield, Millwall, Preston, Plymouth, Notts County, Oxford, Luton and about 40 other tiddlers

Clubs that have been in the glorious Sky Premier League:

Swindon, Barnsley, Reading, Bournemouth, Oldham, Blackpool, Bradford, Pompey, Wimbledon, Charlton, Coventry, Sheff Utd

It's our time

Football didn't start in 1992 - most of those teams have played in the top tier of English football, and some of them have even won it.

I refuse to comment on a thread that insinuates football began in 1992 (beyond this sentence).

I think we are the biggest not to have been in the Premier League. Preston knocked on the door a fair few times and Huddersfield/Bristol City have been big clubs in the past. Hopefully this is our time

It'll probably be some tin pot outfit that nobody now watches who won about 16 titles before 1880.

Are people really that stupid to believe that top-flight football didn't exist before 1992?

TWOCHOICEStom · Apr 28, 2016

To be fair to the OP, I think the "glorious Sky Premier League" bit of his post suggests he knows that football didn't start in 1992...

Yes, yes they are.

OP is probably of the Sky Generation.

Should we refer to other teams as tiddlers

Some fans on here get hysterical when other clubs consider us to be smaller

2 seasons, which is why they are mentioned in the OP

We have been in 'the Prem'

It was called Division One then though

In terms of support, quite possible yes.

In terms of history, Huddersfield were enormous in their day - Under Herbert Chapman before he went to Arsenal in the 1930's.

EDIT: or rather the 1920's
League

First Division

Champions: 1923–24, 1924–25, 1925–26
Runners-up: 1926–27, 1927–28, 1933–34
Third-place: 1922–23, 1935–36, 1953–54

A tad harsh since it's quite evident from the satire in his post that he is well aware.

I guess it's a genuine question for the modern era, certainly myriads of other people will talk about it. Personally i'd rather talk about this than have other club's successes of circa 80 years ago used as argument for a better/bigger club than our own.

How ever you dress this thread up, it's bollocks. If we win our last two matches we are in the top flight, if results go our way we are in the top flight, if we end up in the play offs and win them we are in the top flight. We were last in the top flight in 1983

Mattywerewolf · Apr 28, 2016

By support I'd say we are now. By history Preston and Notts County

Oh.

Satire never was my strong point.
