How depressing never to have a realistic hope of Championship football. Currently yes, we're in a mess and the only short-term aim is to avoid relegation....BUT after some moderate ground expansion this town is well-placed to support Championship football and in doing so it would not be boxing very far above its weight. To say "Never" is deeply depressing. The town is expanding massively and the thousands of people coming in don't have the 1960's "We'll always be a small club" mentality that frequently blights this site.
Re the '1960's attitude of we'll always be a small club'. Surely it was only in the 60's that we were actually a much bigger club, based on performances. I remember us beating Newcastle 3-0, drawing away to Arsenal etc., and not thinking that was much of a big deal. It's only during the late 60's and since then we've declined.
