    I admire your optimism, but I doubt it.

    There's no such thing as "big clubs" anymore. Finances dictate how successful clubs can be and people through the door no longer plays enough of a part in those finances to matter. Hence why Bournemouth, Wigan, Fulham and Burnley have recently outperformed the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, Sunderland and Villa.

    Exactly right, money rules football now and some would say it’s ruined it.
    If someone had enough money they could make Espanyol a more successful club than Barcelona but never ‘bigger’
    Bournemouth, Swansea and Wigan are all more successful than Bradford City but we are a much bigger club than them.

    Out of interest, and I don't subscribe to "big clubs", but what's your definition of a "big club" ?

    Bradford City are.

    We're that massive that we even get fans of PL clubs on our forum.

    A big club is also a world brand or a club that foreigners will recognise if you go abroad and mention the name.
    Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona , Real Madrid, Juventus, AC / Inter Milan. They’re the biggest but like I say, a club who have several thousand supporters worldwide can also be considered big. However much we dislike it, Leeds are the biggest club in Yorkshire and would still be so even if in league 2 and we were PL Champions

    You think Swansea are a big club? When they were in league 2 playing at the Vetch they struggled to get 2000 fans in!!! Small time outfit

    Never said Swansea were a big club. But you said we were a much bigger club than them.
    You maybe too young to remember when we got regular gates of 3500 in the 4th division?
    Again though I'm just curious to know why you think we are much bigger? What have we done in our history to come to that conclusion?

    Pretty much the same as mine, after them it's much of a muchness really. Take your point about Leeds unfortunately.
