What struck me about this video - and what a good job you’ve done, btw - is that although Pompey have the greater history, the big weaknesses are the ground and social media presence. I’m sure being outside the Prem is a big factor in both, but the club must address both if they are to have sustained success. Do it again in 5 years and let’s see who is on top! PuP

1. Fulham. Big stadium, wealthy, successful and stable in the prem. The highest attendance of the three, with a nice starium which is being extended and brought up to date. 2- Brentford. 2nd highest avg attendance, outgrown their stadium already. A good premier league team and very wealthy/established in the prem. News of them potentially buying Twickenham rugby stadoim to continue their growth. That would seat about 70,000 if it happens. Less than a rugby ground due to pitch size. 3-QPR quite a dated stadium they dont sell out, lots of empty seats. Chanpionship strugglers fallen on hard times with lots of growing debts. It seems like most of the local younger generations drift more toward Chelsea/Fulham/Brentford.

QPR remained a lower league club and only emerged from lower leagues in the 70s, they've spent time in non league too. Brentford have never been a non league club since it's founding. Brentford have finished above QPR in the last 9 consecutive years. This coming season will mark the 4th consecutive year finishing a league above QPR. QPR beg the council for free land to build a stadium, meanwhile Brentford are holding meetings to buy 80k seater Twickenham despite already having a new stadium.

The issue of southern-based teams playing in the National League North will continue as long as we have a non-league pyramid where three of the four feeder leagues to step 2 are composed mainly of clubs located south of Birmingham. In an ideal world this wouldn't be a problem - you join the National League, the clue's in the name - but as things stand it places sides from a certain part of the country at a real disadvantage because of the travelling costs they incur. As supporters of Bishops Stortford this season - and perhaps Needham Market and Chesham United next season - will confirm.

No point going up when they are not ready otherwise it will smash their confidence back down. The trouble is they pick managers on their previous history like playing football etc but when all is said and done it still boils down to motivating players and drawing their instimct to bond and find a way even it appears to be none. The best chance to move leagues is too be like an albatross and once they take flight they glide and stay up for a long time. Gills and chats fell apart when they lost their morale due to the management. .
