For me its Leeds - can't wait to see them back in the Premier League.
Huge fan base, great history and now with the owner and manager to put them back into Top 6 contention in the coming years.
Great history.....3 league titles, 1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup. It's OK I suppose, but nothing to write home about. Huge fan base, great history and now with the owner and manager to put them back into Top 6 contention in the coming years.

It's a struggle to get a ticket for Wolves now they're in the prem, but that be because they have only just been promoted.
There is a lot of exciting things going on there now but they have always been a massive club, one of the often claimed 'sleeping giants'.
The football was amazing last year and we hope to continue that going forward. I can see us getting 50k+ crowds there if we achieve stable premier league status and get European football.
Wolverhampton is a small-ish city but we pull fans from everywhere around.

Just look at the record from 64-75 - not even factoring in semi finals and the fact that (arguably) the 74-75 European Cup was probably one of the most questionable results in footballing history.
You could also question one of the 1st division runners up spots considering that they were forced to play their final game on the monday after an FA cup final.
But yeah, not much history
