Chelsea won nine trophies between the mags last major trophy and Roman Abramovich arriving at Chelsea and had been in the top flight for almost twenty seasons. It's an absolute myth that Chelsea only became a 'big club' when Abramovich arrived.Depends what you're meaning by big club. Can't stand them, but the Mags probably are tbf. Same goes with us. Chelsea have only been a 'big' club the last decade or so, since the likes of Abramovic came in and they started winning stuff. Until then, their fan-base was mostly made up of a small hardcore of skinhead racists/thugs. Aside from the one title back in the day, they'd never won anything.
If us or the Mags actually had any success or even anything to "celebrate" the crowds in these parts could clock 100k or so, easy.
