Whilst neither club is as MASSIVE as that club from Sheffield, which is the bigger minnow, Brighton or Ipswich?

[Albion] Brighton v Ipswich: which club is bigger?
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Define the criteria.
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
All depends on the definition

in terms of trophies won and history, Ipswich cruise it.
in terms of where we both are now, including infrastructure from top to bottom, we cruise it.

In some metrics they are. In some we are. You can argue it either way. Pointless discussion.
Pointless bollocks. Ignore.
Couldn't care less. Ipswich have a more storied history, we're further ahead as an established Premier League club. Depends which definition you choose, but I find the whole "bigger club" debate endlessly tiresome.
Ultimately, most clubs of our size are moons circling the orbit of the mega-money, hyper clubs.

There are some things money can't buy. NSC Polls aren't one of them. The (Bozza's Platinum) Amex.

We are bigger in terms of the club as it stands right now.
Ipswich have more success in their history, but so do the likes of Bolton, Forest etc... so?

Fixed.
If you were 15 or 16 in 1997, you'll remember Brighton as a tin pot club struggling to stay in the league and playing in front of literally only 5 gates over 10,000 over a period of about 6 seasons.

Depends on so many factors.
For people under the age of 30 - it's undeniably us.
I would say we are similarly sized clubs.

I still remember Ipswich when I was about 13-ish qualifying for Europe. I loved Sixto Peralta because his name was FLAIR. Think they got relegated that european season though?

Pretty similar in the modern era, Ipswich clearly in the past.

I'd imagine a player or manager who had 2 choices on his plate who was currently in the Championship, Brighton or Ipswich, would probably consider Brighton to be the better career opportunity at this point in time. That's not the same as saying I think McKenna will definitely come if offered. Loyalty, how he is enjoying the area and future plans will come into it. Time will tell.
If the question was "Who has been the bigger team over the past 50 years" I'd go Ipswich.

If Ipswich Town survive two years in the Premier League, it will be pretty much equal. As it stands, it's Albion. This is in financial terms and much depends on how Ipswich run things (as well as what Albion do).
Historically, it's a silly question, obviously. We are nowhere near them.

Historically Ipswich, however as they say, the past was yours but the futures mine (hopefully)
