The likes of Bolton, Spurs and others often look to be on the edge of breaking through but it never quite happens and we still have The Big Four.

Should at least move a CL spot from the league to the Cup.
Yeah I partly agree but what about Bolton crowds going down but their 5th in the table, Blackburn had to give free tickets away for their UEFA Cup game against Bayer Leverkusen and taking Blackburn as an example they'll play over 20 games at home this season so that means your talking about a father say taking his kid and it costing him over £1,000 by the time he pays for their tickets and a programme and throw in another £150 - £200 (Maybe even more not sure how much cup final tickets will cost) if they get to the FA Cup Final.
