if we spent the amount of years in the top flight as them we would be. Probably bigger actually, it wasnt so many years ago we were averaging 9000 under Sam, now we average 21000. For example you think Stoke are bigger than Cardiff? or Swansea for that matter? the longer Swansea stay in the prem than they will become bigger, its that simple.

In fact, Everton are also the original club of the City of Liverpoool. They used to play at Anfield, but left over a dispute over rent. LFC was founded so they could use Anfield,

I think he means if we'd been in the top flight for decades like them and they'd been shit for decades like us, then we'd be as big if not bigger.
But that's not happened so they're loads bigger.

Oh come on! Everton are a much bigger club than us. What happened when their board tried changing Everton's badge last season? Their fans stood up for their club and it didn't let it happen. Everton were too big a club to allow their badge to get changed. Us however...
Stoke are on a par with us size wise, Swansea will always be smaller than us, but Everton are much, much bigger than us.

CCFC could win the PL 10 times and they still wouldn't be as big a club as EFC im afraid

Of course we would. Ten times!
Everton won loads in the mid eighties and so attracted a huge fanbase.
If we won a few titles fans would flock.
Any club would.

At first glance I thought blueboys was having a bit of a mare, but he's actually correct. Yes you would be bigger than them whilst winning your ten titles, but as soon as you stopped winning them the support would drop. It would be the same with us. Such is the total apathy of the South Wales public.
