David McCaig Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Surely the size of a club is dictated by fan base/potential fan base. If the question is who are Scotland's most successful club then obviously the criteria change to trophies won and historic league positions and points etc... For example if we look at the last decade it could be argued that based on trophies alone Inverness are more successful than Hearts, however it would be quite a stretch to argue that Inverness with crowds of 2,000 were a bigger team than a club with crowds of 20,000.

TallPaul Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Aberdeen seen to drag this argument up weekly about being bigger than us but other than their 80s purple patch have nothing to back it up. They are the football equivalent of this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Never understood the "bigger" debate. Is there an official measurement? It's an utterly pointless, meaningless argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidigits Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Who cares about this poll anyway. The more important question is which clubs do the best pies ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Off subject slightly, but there's a survey in the EEN about ticket prices, and we are one of the cheapest in the top two leagues for the price of the cheapest adult ticket, well ahead of many Championship clubs too. How'sthat for value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Celebrating a 3-3 draw at home against fellow struggling team like some great result in your online inhouse media , a day or so after a supposed poll has you as the 3rd biggest club . Sheep continue being big 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ93 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 These polls are nonsense. I did the BBC poll and I put Hearts as the biggest club in Scotland. Obviously we are not (yet!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Gorgie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 You have to ask who takes part in these polls. Normally fans who want to big up a busted flush to make them seem relevant. Enter: Aberdeen FC quite happy with our standing, the whole of Scottish fitba knows where we are and are worried. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 7 hours ago, Sir PH said: No apology needed. Just curious why so many people can't spell it properly. Forrest is an obsolete variant spelling for forest. I've seen it, and the occupation forester, spelled many times that way in old documents. Perhaps some folk are just more in touch with their roots.

Arfur Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Both Hearts and Aberdeen have every right at the moment to claim they are the largest of the two clubs for different reasons. I am more interested in the future and where we are going - concentrate on that and this question takes care of itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 More people follow Aberdeen on Social Media, than ourselves, thats something we should be pressing harder, or are we just an ageing support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 10 minutes ago, tcjambo said: Kilmarnock surely in 6th? Possibly, tc. It's all pretty subjective. I think Dundee were regarded as Scotland's clear 6th club until the late 70's. Perhaps not now though. As others have pointed out, Dunfermline and Falkirk's averages have been impressive considering the absence of top flight football. Who knows, eh? 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
