Would we be the Biggest Club ever to drop out of the Football League.....

Luton?

No problem. No drop!! Keep the faith.

I asked this on Pasoti recently but Newell deleted both me and the thread !!

Can't think offhand of a bigger club ??

Napoleon was right to ban you! Only a troll would talk about relegation going into the business end of the season when we've been bottom 2 all season.

How is it a troll !!!

I asked if we could be considered the biggest club thats all !!

I consider we are bigger than Luton.

It would be a troll if we were top half of table ??

Erm......Whoosh. I should have put one of these in

I get fed up reading crap on this site. Like a load of kids.

We would certainly be the biggest city to have its football team drop out of the league (unless you consider Bradford Park Avenue as that city's 'team').

Depending on where you draw the boundary, Plymouth is within the top 20 or top 12 cities in England.

But as for 'bigger club', that's harder to answer. Luton and Oxford have both won major trophies and played in the top tier (neither of which we've done), so are they 'bigger'?

Anyway, thankfully, the question will remain hypothetical because we will be staying up courtesy of the last kick of the season

Very true ,
Park Avenue were the bigger club !!!!

Frank Bullitt is the authority on Bradford PA.They certainly played in the first division but they were not in Argyle's class for gates and history from the beginning of the 1950's onwards,understandable in a two club city i suppose.Personally i think Argyle would be the biggest club to ever take the non league drop,notwithstanding Oxford and Luton winning a couple of league cups when they had major backing.A dark horse contender would be Grimsby who played quite a few seasons in the first division and were in the CCC not so long ago.

From the biggest population area yes, but no bigger a club now than Oxford United ~ and to think when Argyle were drawing near thirty thousand crowds in the REAL Second Division in the early nineteen sixties, Oxford were a non league club and not even named after the city they were from ......they were called Headington United.

You HAVE to get over this "big" illusion. You used to be big, but like an old man's old man you are not as big as you were!

If your mate Mr Williams and his cohorts had invested the money from those big crowds properly,then maybe we would have become a truly big club,as you say though that would have involved spending other peoples money,very difficult task. Still nice to know you enjoyed your day out and the food provided.Did he take you to the Magnet restaurant in Plymouth? Natural choice,i'd have thought.

What was wrong with this exactly? We're still in a relegation position that would see us drop out of the League, and it looks to me that a genuine question was asked with a lot of informed answers. I didn't know all of the details of some of the old league clubs. If you really don't like the possibility of relegation being mentioned I would look for a team that aren't 91st in the Football League at present. A win today was great but the threat of relegation is still a real possibility.

Good idea Jock. It will all come out in the wash.
