Parscelona Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 We're not a big club. To suggest we're a bigger club than anyone in the Premiership is total garbage. Are you seriously suggesting the likes of Hamilton, Ross County and St Johnstone would be getting our crowds at this level of football? I know we're a million miles away from being a Premiership club, yet in terms of our fan support i have always viewed us being a similar sized club to the likes of Falkirk, Motherwell and St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Just because we get relatively high crowds doesn't mean we're a big club. Being a 'big club' is about so much more than how many fans you have. Edited December 26, 2014 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We're not a big club. To suggest we're a bigger club than anyone in the Premiership is total garbage. It's a fact that we have a bigger fan base than Ross County, St. Johnstone, ICT, Hamilton, Partick Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parscelona Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm not suggesting we're a big club, i'm arguing against the view that we are not bigger than any of the Premiership sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 And I didn't say that we were a big club to boot as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right then, what makes Ross County a bigger club than Dunfermline? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 They play in a higher league against a higher level of opposition. They can attract a higher level of player. They are far more visible than us. They get far more media coverage. Their youth system is far superior to ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We have a huge name compared to most. Perhaps not Hamilton Academicals though, that's pretty big. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Ross County have a far superior youth system? The last player they brought through was Cowie. Don't see them as being that great youth wise tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 They play in a higher league against a higher level of opposition. They can attract a higher level of player. They are far more visible than us. They get far more media coverage. Their youth system is far superior to ours. You have to be trolling with this but to dissect your post. First point: They also play at a higher level than Rangers, are they a bigger club than Rangers? Your next two points about media coverage and attracting better quality players are obvious because they are at the higher level. Finally, if their youth setup is far superior to ours then why does our development squad regularly destroy theirs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Quite frankly it doesn't matter a sht what anyone thinks how large a club we are, it's rather pathetic to see anyone bigging ourselves up as bigger than anyone and smacks of arrogance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 So why are Dunfermline a 'bigger' club than the likes of Hamilton, Ross County, Inverness and St Johnstone then? Because we get a few more home fans? Surely that's not what you're basing it on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Incidentally I think ICT and St Johnstone get more home fans than we do (both around 3000 whilst we hover just under 2500). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 When Leishman took us back to the Premier League, did we have the 3rd highest average attendance in Scotland that season? Can anyone confirm this? Noticed it on Wikipedia (I know) but wouldn't have thought we would top Aberdeen, Hibs or Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Have always been jealous of Ross County's never-ending conveyor belt of talent. Ross County, Inverness, Hamilton are all better at football than us. They have all been much better run than us in recent years. Bigger clubs though? Nah, don't think many would agree with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
