Thought worthy of a new thread as many won't revisit the other...
Well it seems that we all have our own criteria to decide what means a club is big so I thought I'd look at this scientifically (well more scientifically anyway). Here's something I knocked up over lunch. If we give marks out of ten for each criteria I reckon we come back with about the right results.
(I haven't modified any of the ratings so that the total agrees with my overall opinion - I tried to do each objectively and let the results be. I also haven't weighted any of the categories - they all count equally. Plus not included any take on the new financial regulations.
See what you think and enjoy
