    Oh good, I haven't been on this thread for a few hours and it has degenerated into a "who's got the biggest willy" competition.

    We have been a big club in the past. 75,000 crowds, 40,000 average crowds etc. The disastrous 1960's and 1970's coupled with the move to Sellout Park didn't help our fan base.

    Being out of the top flight for almost 30 years made a huge impact on our fan base.

    Being back at the Valley and the most recent Premiership years gave the club the opportunity to re-connect with lapsed fans (Valley Express) and to re-build from that disastrous time.

    If you compare our gates now to what they were when we were last in tier three, we have come along way. 

    Wednesday has been a yo-yo club but has benefited from less years in the doldrums than us. 

    Simples!

    but....
    Ironically enough our smallest home crowd this season??.........you guessed the Wendies...for me that states that we don't see you as a big club (IMO) - we had more against Exeter 5 days later

    I can hear a song coming on when you have your biggest league crowd of the season on the 14th....."you've only come to see the Charlton"

    Absolutely........spot on Bing my man!

    The closure of the Dockyards in the 50's and 60's, as well as going down, killed us!

    I would have thought it would have been much more sensible to talk about Wednesday's away support

    On a different subject, does anyone know whether when away tickets are on restricted sale just to season ticket holders, you have to produce your ST before the game? Or do you just have to quote a reference number when booking. In other words, can I use a friend's without actually having it in my hand?
    Considering its on general sale, you wont have to do anything
    Yeah I was referring to Exeter, hence the opening line 'on a different subject'. I jjust couldn't bring myself to start a new thread.



    You just have to have all relevant CON numbers. So if you're buying for 5 S/T holders etc, one person can do it as long as you have all CON numbers.

    MASSIVE teams fill their stands with home fans and allocate the smallest amount to away fans.

    Wednesday give up to 8k to away fans, probably the most in the England. MASSIVE!




    28K V Huddersfield. what did you lot get again?

    and the best bit is your away support, 300 to Hartlepool? lol

     

    Okay okay, you have a better away following without any arguements but we are five points in front of you so sshhhhh

    They have a tram system in Sheffield don't they?

    That reminds me of another unpopular place in Sarf London that starts with a C , Sheffield Palace , has a nice ring about it ;-0

    but the away support is one of the main measurements in establishing what is a big club. and in a thread littered with telling wednesday that they aren't massive. a reference to what they call themselves in a pisstaking way anyway that has gone over some of the heads of a few impressionable souls,for them to bring up away support seems fair enough to me.

    But who cares which clubs are big- it's who wins the most that matters surely?
    It is still the 11 players on the pitch rather than the plebs that play the match isn't it?

    No Charlton fans are claiming that we are bigger than Wednesday, just better.
