Outside the UK, hardly anyone has even heard of them.
When a club has to self-proclaim itself as the biggest one in a country, it probably isn't, just for that reason alone.
And for that reason, I like the way our club focuses on the "Wales' Only Premier League Club" narrative. Stick to the irrefutable facts - it makes you look less desperate for attention. [Post edited 28 Oct 2016 16:19]

Where have the club "self-proclaimed itself as the biggest one in a country"?
That's one heck of an exposition from a throwaway comment made by Warnock in a press conference...
The obvious retort is that Murica always self-proclaims itself as the greatest nation ever ;) |  |

14k attendances unless its against their big rivals Bristol where they brought in 22k
theyve always been a bit deluded up the road |
If Trollope had still been in charge for the Brizzzle game there would have been 16k tops in there. |  |

It's cyclical, let's be honest.
At this point in time, you're the bigger club, sure.
Would your crowds be any better if you get relegated? Debatable. Hopefully, you'll not get relegated so it would be a non-issue.
Reality is, we both have incredibly small numbers of "loyal" fans. Both went down to Div 2 again, we'd both struggle to get crowds of 4k max. | |

I would like to think that with our situation financially we'd be in pole position to come straight back up but then again now we've been shafted by our former fanboy directors who knows? | |

Money isn't a guarantee though.
There will be a few hit badly if they don't go up this season based upon their spending. If they do go up, well Bournemouth showed abusing FFP leads to little penalty.
I'd say the Championship is a lot tougher than people give it credit for. Who would have predicted Huddersfield would start pretty well? Or Derby have been so far down? There's a lot more parity within it imo. Even just holding in the Champ for X seasons isn't too shabby an achievement. | |

Yes but the gulf between Pl and Championship has definitely grown since we both got promoted I think it's fair to say. | |

I'd say teams promoting are capable of competing at / around the relegation spot in the Prem. Equally, teams relegating aren't necessarily guaranteed to bounce back - Villa. Newcastle started badly... | |

Your manager doesn't represent your club?
As for your last retort, my nation's own self-delusion only proves my point. Not that we're not better than most, but those provincial blowhards claiming USA to be The Greatest Evah is a source of considerable embarrassment, personally. |  |

A throwaway comment at a press conference is hardly proclaiming club policy is it?
As I said, it ebbs and flows. We're ahead, you're ahead, varies from time to time... | |

I doubt the attendances would be that dire
lowest attendance we've ever had was just shy of 10k back in league one (liberty stadium)
and id like to think that we'd have a few more supporters now than we did back then when we were a relative unknown, a division lower than you guys |  | | |

League one at the Liberty.
If we both dropped to League two, you know we'd both have low attendances. We've both got small core fanbases when it comes to it, with plenty turning up when promoted. | |

It's what they all say when they take over as their manager.That and the Ayatollah will ensure they get on the right side of their fans.I'm not sure they'll all be as gullible this time round though having lived through so much bullshit and humble pie chomping as a Cardiff City fan in recent times.But they really are thick as shit most of them so they probably will fall for all the crap he'll spout. |  | | |

Warnock may well spout crap, which I freely acknowledge but he's got one less point than Trollope got after only three games.
Warnock can claim to have bedded both Minogues, have eaten eight Big Macs in one sitting and solved cancer for all I care if he keeps up performances on the pitch... | |

Right Tumms. When I mention the scum in football conversation in the states, I tend to have mention its the capital of Wales.
Most of the time, when I get into conversation about the EPL, people usually guess I'm a swansea supporter because its the only welsh side they know of. |  |

maybe youre right, but i doubt either of us will see ourselves in that position in the near future thankfully
cant see either of us doing a Blackpool or Portsmouth
but then who knows
But still Warnocks comment stink of him sucking up to the die hards of your fan base who are still a bit deluded about your current situation | | | |

To be fair even the most deluded of their fan base has had a rude awakening this season. Colin is only trying to galvanize the support and there's no better way of doing it than having a dig at your rivals , even though that ground was lost quite some time back. We took 43,500 to Wembley for that play off final don't forget! A pity we haven't expanded though, would love to be getting 30k plus watching us every week | |
