Can't wait to hear this being belted around the Hawthorns when Raรบl buries one into the back of their net....Out of Darkness, Cometh Light! ๐บ #R9#SiSenor#wwfc
Why are all these Middlesbrough fans piping up all of a sudden, claiming that they are a bigger club than Wolves? ๐
Let me sum it up for you ๐๐ป

#wwfc#boro
โ๏ธ Overall verdict: Wolves are the bigger club overall, based on historical honours, Premier League status, and modern visibility.
Boro, though, are a proud and well-supported club with a great history of their own, just not as decorated or consistently top-flight as Wolves.
๐ฐ Modern era / Premier League standing
Wolves have been a consistent Premier League side since 2018, with strong investment and European football appearances.
Middlesbrough have been a Championship club for much of the last decade (last in the Premier League in 2016โ17).
Middlesbrough โ Riverside Stadium (~34,000 capacity), passionate support from Teesside but smaller catchment area.
โก๏ธ Pretty even, though Wolves have slightly more global recognition recently thanks to Premier League exposure and international players.
Have spent more time in the second tier overall than Wolves.
โก๏ธ Edge: Wolves (more silverware and historic top-flight success)

๐๏ธ Stadium and fanbase
Wolves โ Molineux (~32,000 capacity), strong fanbase across the West Midlands, part of a large footballing region.
