NBTTT: who’s a bigger club, Norwich or Blackburns? (NCFC) - lurd, Sep 23, 11:50:30
- More holes in Blackburn - they win that hands down (n/m) (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 14:07:29
  - But is that true? (NCFC) - Miles Dewey Creosote, Sep 23, 15:46:15
    - I believe there are 3672 (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 16:11:00

        😂 (n/m) (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 16:42:42
- Would it be fair to say we have grown as a club massively (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 14:06:58
  - This is fair comment. I don;t think historical trophy wins are particularly relevant (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 17:05:09
    - so just 1 League Cup then (or is '85 historical too?) (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 17:50:30
      - It’s not relevant to who is the bigger club (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 17:58:27
        
        just the FOUR League titles & SIX FA Cups!!!! (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 18:12:05
        
        Norwich are a bigger club than Blackburn despite their historic honours (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 18:42:56
  - Yes, it’s easy to forget how small our crowds were before Andrew Cullen (NCFC) - Adster, Sep 23, 14:10:34
    - Kids for a quid was a master stroke (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 14:20:32
      - It really was (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Sep 23, 15:47:56
    - spot on. Av gates up 40% in just 5 seasons (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 14:15:11
      - Less than 21000 at the Bayern Munich home game (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Sep 23, 14:21:45
        
        Wasn’t the capacity only around 21,500 at that time? (NCFC) - JoeyDeacon, Sep 23, 14:23:00
        
        I don’t remember. In any case our av league attendance that season was only 18000 (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Sep 23, 14:56:02
        
        Yep. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Sep 23, 14:51:13
- no contest (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 14:02:23
  - Using old stats means we would be unlikely ever to be bigger (NCFC) - Kar1, Sep 23, 14:26:45
    - in the PL era - so last 29 seasons (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 14:50:58
    - they are not old stats. They are just stats. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 14:37:07
      - That's like saying Britain's the most important country in the world because of the Empire (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 23, 15:03:48
        
        You mean it isn't?! (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 23, 15:21:13
        
        Just because we aren't (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 23, 16:00:37
        
        Rubbish! (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 15:20:01
        
        I think that is a stretch! There are no Leagues for being a countyr (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 15:12:03
        
        There are lots of stats, though - GDP, subjects, tax revenue, size of armed forces, value (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 23, 15:58:27
      - Sorry, your are right but using all stats gives same outcome (n/m) (NCFC) - Kar1, Sep 23, 14:50:55
      - Why is club size static? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 14:42:36
        
        it can change, of course, but it leads to greater anomalies (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 23, 15:07:52
        
        Its largely irrelevant to the size of the club, esepcially when the majority were won (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 17:04:35
- If it was possible to define 'big' this may get somewhere. (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 23, 13:40:46
- Probably Blackburn (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Sep 23, 13:11:05
- A simple, modern metric would be Twitter followers of the main account (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 23, 13:11:03
  - Twitter? Get with the times grandad (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 14:43:33
- We are,have a look at their gates in early 80s,they were alot (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Sep 23, 12:43:09
- The question yesterday was whether they were bigger than us when they bought Sutton. (NCFC) - Adster, Sep 23, 12:28:53
  - Rich does not equal big (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 13:18:22
    - Outbidding everyone else and winning the league equals bigger than we were though (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Sep 23, 13:50:21
- No way. During the Walker era similar size. 100 years ago maybe. Fundamentally though (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 23, 12:19:55
- Pre Walker,no difference.... (NCFC) - yellowman, Sep 23, 12:04:52
  - If only Chase had backed him (NCFC) - Miles Dewey Creosote, Sep 23, 13:28:27
    - Lolf (n/m) (NCFC) - yellowman, Sep 23, 16:17:41
- Because they won the prem, or some other reason? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 12:01:55
  - They’ve won every major domestic trophy (NCFC) - lurd, Sep 23, 12:42:22
    - Presumably Ipswich bigger than Norwich too? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 13:00:20
      - All three are probably equal (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Sep 23, 13:20:46
      - I guess that's not quite right....Blackburn were fairly decent until 2010 (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 23, 13:01:35
