It's a good question, and of course it's everyone's opinion but I think that there are 8 or 9 teams who are supposedly bigger than us, so getting to the Play Offs would be an achievement next season. I'm not sure if Bournemouth is bigger or smaller than us, but southern English clubs seem to have an advantage over us / northern English clubs
Finishing consistently in the top half of the Championship with a chance of the Play Offs would be fine by me, but would it be fine for our US owners?
I'd say Bournemouth have to be considered 'bigger' than us because they're being bankrolled. Look at the money they've spent this season to try and get promoted. I'd imagine they'd fall foul of FFP regulations at some point if they don't go up, but doubt they're too worried about that.
I don't see Bournemouth bigger than ourselves at all. Ground and facilities are poor and the support is very limited due to the majority of the locals follow and travel to watch London teams. Won nothing of note ever sleepy town even locals this a stadium move would be a waste of time and money . However they do have money behind them and if they get promoted and stay there for a while my views may change. I see us on a par with Bristol City , Plymouth , Hull and Reading in terms over club size and potential.
