[St Charles Owl]

mixture of everything really charlie; wealth, history, stature, fan base etc

I agree, but what for instance is fan base??  We have approx 16k season ticket holders and are averaging approx 21,500, that puts us in the top 6 teams in the Championship, but behind just about every team in the Prem, so 26th biggest in reality!!  Wealth is another one, if that was used the Blunts would be near the top with their Prince's wealth, as it is Kroenke at Arsenal, Abdulla at Man City and Abramovich at Chealsea are far, far wealthier than the Glazers at Man Utd, so again its a tough one to measure.

You are right though, its is a mixture of things that should be considered, but where we are concerned, most of it is potential as opposed to actual!!!  Having said that, since we won the League Cup in 91, how many teams have actually won one of the three main trophies??  I will be back with the answer in a bit!!
