In most of the tables I've seen which try to put clubs in some sort of order based on historical achievement, trophies won etc. City tend to be in the 30 to 35 range. Given the growth of Cardiff since the fifties, that list Eric produced is pretty embarrassing, as is the two seasons in the top flight in fifty eight stat.Originally Posted by A Quiet Monkfish
Throughout our hundred years in the Football League, it's probably fair to say our "natural" position is around half way up the second tier, but, as mentioned earlier, I'd say it's undoubtedly true to say that our potential to be better than that has been greater in the second half of that century than it was in the first, yet out record in terms of major trophies won and seasons in the top flight was better during the latter than the former.
It's a shameful statistic that we are the only club to have spent more than one season in the Premier League who have never managed to avoid relegation - those who believe that we're somehow living above our station by thinking in terms of a future where we spend as much time in the Premier League as we do out of it should think again.
