I’ve just read the thread on that forum. Most of them put the Pigs down as bigger than them and a bigger fan base. Same category as Villa and Everton.
Rivalry aside I just can’t fathom why I read shit like that. Can someone explain to me, please, what I’m missing?
I genuinely cannot understand what they see when they put the Pigs down as a bigger club than just an average sized 2nd tier club. Four league titles when the world was in flickering black & white granted but so has Huddersfield.
Fan base keeps getting mentioned on that thread but does anybody actually have a look at historical attendances. If they bothered to they’d see that the Pigs are nothing out of the ordinary. Just a bang average club similar in size to many others.
It’s all just a self perpetuating myth. Fans read shit like that and accept on face value without checking and then go on to repeat it.
Credit to the Pigs though, they’ve somehow pulled of the illusion of the century, this and last.
