Out first time in top two divisions for 17 years .....as we couldn't even sell 19000 tickets ?

I think it was an embarrassment

A season or two later , in the championship we had a big name manager in Dave Jones , his first game was Leeds .....15,500

We won an exciting game with a wonder goal from Jason koumas

A week later we played Watford

The crowd ? 9000

Yep , 9000 , in the championship , a week after beating Leeds

Where where all these fans ?

A very bad season and relegation and our 18000 average will plummet

You are deluded
I'm not sure of what your argument is. There aren't any of this thread that are arguing the city are a big football club. in fact, most accept that historically and at present, we're a middling 2nd tier club.

I'm pretty sure that the idea of a football super league was first mooted in the 1960s, (or maybe even 1950s) and you'd be surprised to know that the city were included in the discussions.
