    I really hope they're making a joke putting themselves as Massive.

    If not that's ******* hilarious.

    Whoever originally did that is from the South West. Check the stature of Exeter, Plymouth and Forest Green.

    I refuse to believe it's anything but a Wednesday fan. It just can't be.

    Maybe a Wednesday fan living in the South West?

    They have a team that turned professional 4 years ago in the same category as Brentford, Donny Rovers and Rotherham.

    Was just thinking the same. Southerner born in the 80s/90s. Look at the division of the league 2 clubs into small/tinpot, and how high up Fulham and Wigan are.

    This has been doing the rounds for a while. Tiermaker is just an app that morons can use to state their opinion when literacy fails them. Exhibit A:

    Im disappointed. I hoped we were bottom. After many years hearing this stuff i believe the following are correct definitions.

    Elite. Clubs who have played in the premiership for a long while and aspire to win it. Ones who dont give a sh t about clubs outside if their league and either have a chance or pretend to have a chance at an elite trophy success. They dont need forums as they have digital marketing.

    Massive. Usually means size off the noise they make out of the stadium. Clubs which have drummed up a collective voice aka big gobs that perpetuate a status of massive but have had zero success on the field in a generation of football. Forums have only one viewpoint.

    Big. The rest if clubs that have aspirations to be elite but scared to fall into the massive category. These ones usually actually win a few games and have more than one pie selection available at HT, automated turnstiles and recaro dug out seats and 40mx30m lazer etched banners. Forums have more than 20 posters but two views.

    Average. Clubs that you dont see on MOTD but do have a presence on Quest. Usually have had a history of winning something pre 1970. Corner flags dont bend and car park is someones street or drive. Usually friendly clubs. Forums are many, 3 posters in each.

    Small. Clubs who claim the food is better than the football. Old school goalposts sometimes square. Great in the community and take it in turns to wash the shirts. Often win more games against bigger, massive clubs and give elite a run in the cups. Forums are one or two with multiple views.

    tinpot. Outdoor toilets, no food at half time. Often a club that is labelled after beating clubs in the massive category and used by others as an excuse for their own failings. Community spirited and active to help others. players drink half time tea from metal mugs ( tradition of tin pot). Flags and banners are nitted. Forums are few but each poster has a unique view.

    Weird. Like coming across a 1972 Shoot! Annual in a car boot sale and looking at all those clubs who, briefly, were on MOTD, but are now kicking around in L1 and L2.
