There was a time last season when Fleetwood looked like they might nick 2nd spot from Bolton. A couple of poor showings in the playoff semis doesn't mean they're a bad team and I've not seen anything in the transfer market to suggest they're significantly weaker. I was happy with the signing of...

The team you were promoted to the Championship boasted Claridge, Harris, Cahill, Livermore, Warner, Bircham and the most frightening of the lot for me, Ifil. I remember racing fo the title with you and Reading and there was a point in March you left us both for dead smashing teams for four ...

We've had a few. The time but last we were in the Championship, we stuffed Millwall 6-0 at the Den, though regrettably I wasn't there as was travelling back from holiday. It came out later that week that half of the Millwall team were despondent over pay disputes, but not taking away from a...

Think you're harsh on Fleetwood fans. It would be very easy to not support your town when it's about eight leagues below the top division and bandwagon hop onto a big club or at least a local league club. So the couple of hundred fans they had before their rise certainly deserve this success...

I'm unconvinced about Mowbray. Think Wigan will become a yoyo club between the second and the third. I think we'll finish midtable and Charlton will be up there but Bradford won't find the form of last season. In terms of biggest to smallest clubs, for what it's worth, I'd rank as follows...

Out of interest, why does there seem to be so much animosity towards us? I know we have a few excitable fans on here, but so do most clubs with more than half a dozen people that post. Can only assume it's the Steve Evans factor and it's stuck, as other than our local rivals, I don't remember...

I know people have little sympathy, but clubs weren't about to foresee the collapse of ITV digital. As a Chanpionship club at the time, our budgets were aligned to this income accordingly. Players on decent wages on 3 year deals. It was key we offered players longer term deals as security of...

everyone goes on about the overrated Will Grigg chant that caught fire. But I remember the original Stevenage version which was much better as it fitted the song more. (Freeman's on fire, your right back is terrified). I'll ignore your classic anthems for now. I think Man Utd's 'Spirit in the...

You're speaking like a true Bury fan, now. Contentment with a few 0-0 draws! You must be the only person I've known that says they liked the trips to Don Valley. Truly a depressing time for our football club.

So what about the smallest? Little Scunny or possibly Fleetwood?

Perhaps Oldham would've averaged more, I really don't know the answer. The only 'pull' fixture was Newcastle away as we'd not played them for so long and it's a big draw. All the others we'd played recently so part and parcel. Also, whilst it's the highest division we've been in, worth noting...

Unfortunately I'm long in the tooth enough to remember pre 1996, when your attendances were only marginally better than ours. Your rise, ground improvements and boasting the likes of Carbone and Collymore obviously put you higher in the ranks than us and Oxford, though I couldn't rank you in...

Whilst I've always considered Oldham's away support to be decent, I think folk underestimate just how demoralising getting thumped every week is. To remind everyone, we amassed 2 away points over the whole of last season and suffered mainly hammering along the way. Our first away fixtures, we...

No issue with Bury. Always bring a decent, vocal following to Rotherham and were one of the only clubs that made a racket at Don Valley.

Other than the ones I mentioned, I've reason to believe we are. There are plenty bigger, though.

In the last 12 years we've been in the Championship twice and I'm sure we lasted longer than you both times. It was a travesty you were there in the first place. For the last 5 years or so, we've averaged more than you took to the playoff final.

Can't decide whether you're joking or not, but being a Scunthorpe fan you're probably just ecstatic to be competing with us in the sae division. I like Oldham and of course they had a good spell in the top flight, but I think netrals would have to concede we've overtaken them, much like many...

It really is boring this bigger club thing is it not? For what it's worth, I think Oxford nudge us purely based on their time in the top flight compared to us only going close on a few occasions and of course the Milk Cup. Rotherham's began in the 70s at a time when football got big and we got...

Scunny got to be biggest and take loads away ..... LOL. I would say the biggest club is Charlton.

This has to be a joke. Wednesdayarent even close either but Blades? I'll give you some lenience due to your age, but come on. You were getting 14k in this division under Heath and some pretty poor crowds over time when you were relegated from the old third division. I know you like to suck up...
