anewman Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Step up a level? Freedman's step was sideways, not up. And that's coming from someone who loves his club, but is also aware we're not as big as a lot of our fans think we are.

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They have a shit ground in the middle of a shit area with not many fans So the same then... Seriously, if you take history out of the equation (which, honestly, is something only fans use to prove their club is bigger when they're not doing so well) then we're not a dissimilar sized club to Palace. The attendances, taken from last season (when we had the same aspirations and when Freedman made the move): 1 Brighton & Hove Albion Championship 6,837 6,419 7,624 21,829 26,024 19% 2 Sheffield Wednesday Championship 23,177 21,529 17,787 21,338 24,674 16% 3 Cardiff City Championship 20,715 18,044 23,157 22,129 23,175 5% 4 Nottingham Forest Championship 23,827 22,299 23,275 21,969 23,082 5% 5 Derby County Championship 29,230 29,435 25,863 25,878 23,075 -11% 6 Leicester City Championship 23,942 20,341 23,710 22,993 22,569 -2% 7 Wolverhampton Wanderers Championship #N/A #N/A #N/A 24,153 21,789 8 Leeds United Championship 24,788 23,636 27,296 23,283 21,572 -7% 9 Sheffield United League 1 25,122 26,023 20,633 18,698 18,609 0% 10 Charlton Athletic Championship 17,425 20,894 15,582 17,428 18,503 6% 11 Bolton Wanderers Championship #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A 18,093 12 11 Ipswich Town Championship 20,841 20,864 19,615 18,232 17,491 -4% 13 12 Hull City Championship #N/A #N/A 21,170 18,775 17,311 -8% 14 13 Crystal Palace Championship 14,775 15,222 15,475 15,192 17,296 14% taken from http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/6f/bd/0,,10794~179567,00.pdf with the final number (except the % in some cases) being the important one. Now I'm aware you love your club, as do I... but we are not that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They have won nothing. Ever Oh you're right. The FA should probably swap our club with theirs so we can play in the top flight again. We are bigger after all aren't we... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's coming from someone who loves his club, but is also aware we're not as big as a lot of our fans think we are. He wouldn't have come here if it was a side step We're not a big club by any stretch but at the time we were a much better proposition Not now mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Have palace ever been in premier league longer than 1 season? Have they played in Europe in the current era? At the time Dougie came,of course we were a bigger club than palace. He didn't come here for the fucking weather did he? Higher wages,bigger name players,bigger ground,better training facilities and much bigger organisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
