    I know league 2 is * but there will be people scared to lose their season ticket when you get back into the EPL. If you played in a * league like the SPL constantly with no hope of going up/down, your attendance would be less than Hearts/Hibs.

    Nonsense, I've already outlined we averaged significantly more than Hibs and Hearts in the SPL when we were in the 3rd tier of English football (22k). In the 2nd tier last season we averaged 29k. It was not the opponents that fans wanted to see in those leagues, they turned up because they are part of the fanbase.

    And now back in the top league they are looking to expand the stadium above 40k.

    I'll be honest, the English football structure pre 1920 is pretty low on my list of things I have any inclination to expand my knowledge on.

    I'm only winding you up pal, actually have a lot of time for Saints. Well run club, great academy - just stop stealing our players you diddy *!

    You are showing a lack of understanding of English football pre 1920. Saints won multiple Southern League titles which at the time were comparable to the FL. The FL was a northern league and closed shop.

    Ah get you...

    Ive always found it weird that fans think 99% of players give two hoots about the perceived 'size' of a club. Equally weird that fans think being 'bigger' than another club is a positive thing rather than just a thing.

    It's all a bit lost on me.
