Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Percy McCarthy]

I know it's not the be all and end all but Norwich have been getting consistently bigger crowds than Wolves for years haven't they?

It's still two bald men fighting over a comb mind.

Why would Afobe leave Wolves to go to Norwich?

Wolves are a significantly bigger club than Norwich, it's not even close. Norwich strike me as having some of the most deluded fans in the game.

Not convinced about that. Norwich get bigger crowds than Wolves (even including last time Wolves were in the Prem). Wolves may have won more but they haven't been close to adding to their trophy haul for a long, long time. Very similar sized clubs to me.

Wolves have a history Norwich could only dream of. Norwich weren't even founded until the 20th century. How tacky.

Sunderland get bigger crowds than we do, but does that make them a bigger club than us?

[dave.woodhall]

Norwich reckon they're bigger than us.

The pedestrianisation of their town-centre is, apparently, a big selling point.

Wolves are a natural enemy but i always feel more comfortable there than Norwich which is the shortest Premiership trip for us.   There is an air of phoniness about Norwich and the vaguely patronizing claim that they are a "family club" as opposed to illegitimate bastards like Villa and Wolves.  Much is personal dating back to being thrown out of their ground years ago for going to the defence of a young lad who refused to pay for a burger which was essentially raw and frozen and then the time a couple of years ago when I got a parking ticket outside their ground and had a slanging match with Gobby Cabbage on 606 when I raised the point of fans being ripped off by councils on match day parking. Lots of better memories of Molyneux.

Does not being founded until the 20th century really matter though, Chelsea weren't and no matter how much people might hate them that doesn't stop them being a bigger club than us, despite having won less trophies.

I see Wolves and Norwich both as clubs who flitter between the top end of the Championship and bottom end of the Premier league, with similar sized stadiums, similar attendances (Norwich have the edge), the only thing Wolves have over them is history. But like I say we have that over lots of teams that I wouldn't consider us bigger than.

It's the mark of a classy club. The fact Chelsea were formed in the 20th century is just more proof to the accuracy of the measure.

For me history can never be lumped in with "only thing", it is very important.

Norwich have spent 24 seasons in the top flight. Wolves spent their 24th season in the top flight in 1936.

I like that stat.

It's great using stat's for seasons in the top flight, as only Everton can currently trump us.

[pauliewalnuts]

re average attendances, over the last twenty years.

Norwich: 21,100
Wolves: 24,100

Birmingham City FC, founded 1875.

Didn't Norwich have more season ticket holders than us, season before last? They're in the Premier League, Wolves are just coming out of League One, I doubt it's a difficult decision for a player to leave them for Norwich.

Sorry, I phrased it badly, being formed in the twentieth century is a hallmark of classlessness.

Ha ha ha.

Tell you what, and I kid you not, I'd genuinely forgotten they're in the premier league.

I stand by my point, though, Wolves are still a bigger club. Just like Forest are a bigger club than Watford.

Wolves pioneered floodlight football in the 1950s.

Electricity only came to Naarwich in 1984.

[mr underhill]

but they do have the George Gently novels, which is a plus point.
