Are Forest a big club

bigger club šŸŸ° bigger crowds. Best way to define it. The ā€œ bigā€ clubs will always pull big crowds in. If your going off achievements thereā€™s an argument Blackburn are a bigger club than you and on par with Newcastle? There not.

I wasn't having a dig.

Sunderland do have a good support when you consider the catchment area.

If I were a Sunderland fan I'd be more concerned with how Newcastles success is going to affect your fanbase in the coming years.

Newcastle are 10 miles ish away, their success will have an effect. You could argue if they were 40 miles away nothing would change but the fact they are so close will affect your numbers in time.

I agree with everything you say but history is history. Does not matter if it happened yesterday or 60 years ago. History defines you.

The longer ago it was, the less relevant it is to people.
I know many on here would disagree, but I'd swap Leicester's history for ours. Winning four trophies in my lifetime would mean more to me than 8 before I was born, with most of them not being remembered by anyone alive today.

Bigger crowds doesn't always mean bigger club, as there are many variables to attendances.

In general the bigger clubs attract the bigger crowds the smaller clubs get the smaller ones. The smaller the catchment area tends to be the smaller club Leeds have an enermous catchment area even have floating fans around teesside but still havenā€™t filled there ground every week this season for a city Leeds size there supports quite poor really

That's nonsense. Sunderland have a small catchment area for one and are a big club.

Some clubs with huge catchment areas don't get huge crowds because they are not doing well, stadium capacity, etc etc.

It's not always as black and white as you make out.

Leeds have an unrivalled catchment area and attendances are moderate. Can you imagine how big Sunderland could be with success. Pains me to say it but the mags too.
 
I suppose thereā€™s different metrics, crowds, history of the club winning in the past or how they are performing now. I suppose atm it could be argued Brighton are a big club.
not sure any of it matters in the great scheme of things you support who you support. Not gonna alter my support of Sunderland because weā€™ve been shiit in recent historyā€¦but then will affect future supporters. Never used to see many if any city shirts outside on Manchester but a few years of dominating will attract the younger generation of fans, much like the 70s with Liverpool, 90s with Man U etc

Sunderland have a small catchment area and in the shadow of Newcastle as much as I hate to say it, so potential is limited.

Quite clearly you know nowt about Sunderlandā€™s catchment area. People in the north east know.

You are deluded if you think SAFC have a big catchment area. You literally have Newcastle United on your doorstep and people in and around Sunderland support the toon.

Do your research, Iā€™m not doing it for you to pick apart. Not a scooby. psā€¦Think you need to concentrate closer to home, as having one of the biggest catchment areas in Britain with what can only be described as moderate support at best.
