I think Hitchcock said about love that it "degrades women and derranges men". I feel the same way about sleeping giants: it degrades them and derranges those who have to spent time in the same division as them.

Even worse

Does this happen in any other sports? It can't in American team sports because there's no relegation, it can't in boxing or golf or snooker because as soon as you start hitting the skids you stop getting work, football is unique in this regard.

That was supposed to be Google results for "Huddersfield Town" and "massive club". ILX hates me today.

(xpost - tennis players have wilderness years, don't they?)

How the fuck would I know who belongs in the Premiership? I know who belongs as a League 1/League 2 yoyo club, that's my area.

Snooker: trick shot circuit
Tennis: demonstration matches

hmmm, not the same, is it? No, I can't think of anything not football-like (rugby probably has the same system, doesn't it?)

We used to always be called a sleeping giant, and then as soon as we started winning stuff we were told we're not a big club. It's a contentious area.
