it's interesting, often when players sign for us, they often refer to us, as being a massive club or words similar. of course, a lot is just hype.

so, apart from the premiership years and the 40's.

do you think we're a massive club or is it simply relevant to whatevert division we happen to be in, at any given time?

    No. Famous, well thought of, but not massive.

    To me no. Perhaps if you've been playing at Northampton and are of an age where you spent your formative years watching us in the Premiership we might be.

    You are correct when you say it's all hype. The majority of players say the same when joining a new team.

    A couple of years time in the Conference we will be at that level , but no and never have been. Well maybe in the 40's but the board thought small

    We never were and never will be a 'massive' club, not if you compare us with the likes of Man Utd, Chelski, Arsenal etc.
    However, we are a famous club in the history of football in this country but sadly, like many others, living on past 'glories'.
    Unless some multi-billionaire Arab/Russian/Far East playboy fancies laying out some serious cash we are destined to remain much as we are; probably bouncing around Championship/League One/Two for ever and a day. Sad 'aint it!

    My iPhone won't let me not do capitals. I haven't pressed the shift key once in this post. Ridiculous.

    I suppose we might be considered big, in this league or lower but as most have said, certainly not massive, as the "massives", themselves!

    A big club in league one though! Average size in the championship and a small Club in premier league!

    If they'd said "massive club at this level" then yes they'd have been spot on. But overall of course we're not a massive club.

    Biggest football club in SE7.

    Massive place in its fans hearts and lives.

    Lost a decent amount of mass through recent illness, hopefully not terminal.

    Agreed, we are at least deserving of being called a Club.

    Talksport have put together a slideshow of the top 22 largest ever home crowds in Britain:

    Talksport top attendances slideshow

    We're up there, higher than The Massives, so we must be even more massive.

    Although these days... not so much. I think of us as a decent-sized Championship club, taking a holiday in L1.
