      Any result against a team higher than you in the league or cup can be deemed a “scalp”.
      Just recently Hartlepool beat Sheff U in the Carling cup and I’m sure the monkey hangers would see that as a “scalp”. Does that necessarily make Sheff U a big club?

      If Morcambe was to beat Scunthorpe then that would be a scalp is Scunthorpe a big club?.
      Blackpool have just beaten Wigan in the prem and from their reaction that was a scalp. Are we a bigger club than Blackpool?

      Your digging yourself in a bigger whole Dave, please leave it.! :roll:

      No, not at all John. I think I put a reasoned argument forward, don’t you?

      You mention Sheffield United. They too, are a bigger club than us. I’m just telling it as it is, and I’m glad that Horc, and a few more, know that it is right. Why kid yourselves? The fact remains that at Springfield Park, we considered 6,000 to be a decent crowd. Our actual ‘hard-core’ fanbase is somewhere between 8,500-10,000. We are a small club who is punching above it’s weight, and with the financial position our club finds itself in (£54 million in debt) it is only a matter of time before the Premiership bubble bursts. Can we continue to operate in the top flight with the crowds we get and the debts we accrue? I really don’t think so. Selling players to survive, is what we HAVE to do. However, how long we can continue to do that for and stay up, I do not know. Perhaps it would DO US GOOD to have 4 or 5 years as a ‘yo-yo’ club, picking up the parachute payments along the way. It might be a solution to our debts, in the long run. People might call West Brom a ‘yo yo’ club, and laugh at them. However, they’ve picked up a couple of £20 million parachute payments along the way…….maybe they aren’t so daft, after all.

      Small club, punching above it’s weight. That’s Latics. And until our own fans openly admit it, we will always be a victim of bad journalism and cheap ‘poor crowds’ digs. Yawn, yawn, yawn. Frankly, anybody who watched us at Springfield Park, really SHOULD know better.

      I can’t believe you are denying it, to be honest.
