    Not necessarily

    See my earlier post, it all depends on how you define ‘big club’.

    If it’s based on the number of filed-down coins thrown at the away end per game, they’d be right up there.

    Okay, not drawn in as bait, but in the absence of meaningful football this is quite an interesting debate. In my humble opinion there is confusion between the terms 'big' club and 'iconic' club. In the money driven world the premier league has produced you are a 'big' club by virtue of where you are. Whilst teams like Bournemouth, Burnley (and Norwich a couple of years back) can come in and take our better players, including the youth, can we really claim to be a big club?
    That said, we remain an iconic club with many teams supporters keen to see us back to take up old rivalries and large away support. My fear is how long even this lasts and we become an irrelevance to the new breed of football fan. As it is my son has never known Leeds as a premiership team. Take note Radz & Orta because you're dining out on fans of all club remembering the Leeds of old. If you don't invest and really get us back to the top division you'll become the owner of a 2nd division club with a big ground, and with the huge fall in income. (Sorry turned into a too lengthy rant)

    i think you get a sense of how big a club is by how many fans of ‘tinpot clubs’ infest the said clubs board to alleviate the intense loneliness they experience on their own boards

    When tc, officer dibble and benny camp out on bournemouth’s board I might think the cherries are a bigger club than leeds.

    Until such time their very presence here answers their own question,
