Top Ten Teams in Top Flight History

[shadowplay]

The Mags only overtook us in 1995, ah surprise.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

No one's got the 15th biggest club based on attendances yet...

 

[shadowplay]

V good. Also I know plenty on here put down Villa well that shows historically how big they are aswell. And Everton. Hitler fucked us basically as after the war we were more or less finished

We were the Bank of England club in the 50s, one point off the title in 1950, four points off in 54.

No one's got the 15th biggest club based on attendances yet...

It's not Bolton by any chance is it?

No, that would be too easy!

I'll post the link to the entire list if anyone gets it right.

Sunderland?

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Sunderland?

No, Sunderland are higher than 15th.

Still smashed them 6 on the bounce though.

We will be back and have derbies again, just got to rebuild as our club got mismanaged badly.

I think I can name the top 12. Is 15th Birmingham? Or maybe I'm thinking of cumulative rather than average

All of this makes me kind of proud and kind of embarrassed at the same time

 

[hank evans]

No, Sunderland are higher than 15th.

I had every faith

 

[Gatesy]

So historically, points wise and attendance wise we are the 10th biggest club in England...

 

[homeless kid]

When my dad was born we were 2nd. When I was born we were 5th. When my son was born we were 10th...

Not bad three years after our formation tbf.

 

[Horatio Moustache]

Wonder who is 11th?

 

[parsonjohn1985]

West Ham have been catching us and villa up over the past 30 years.

Big thing for Liverpool and manu having success after there was a tv in most homes. Imagine if we'd had our success in the last 30 or 40 years

 

[Fact Hunt]

Given the state of the club and the city finance-wise, I’d be amazed if we did another 10 consecutive seasons in the top-flight again in my lifetime.

 

[vinegar hill]

We were above the vermin from 1890 until 1994[/B] and slipped below them ever since. I love things like this, the money spent is the best, shows the ridiculous money Inter Milan spent in the 90’s and how Chelsea, Man City, PSG and Real Madrid stole the show.

But, but we’ve always been in their shadow.

My thoughts exactly mate and the main reason behind the scum 'thinking' they're massive compared to us has to go down to Sky.
