Most supported English clubs

Re: Best supported English clubs

Seriously Chelsea?! Ok though is probably a slightly ironic comment considering our pretty poor attendance last night, but Chelsea don't sell out for a lot of their league games and they only hold 42k. I really don't think they have more support than us. Ok myabe they should just about make the top 10.

I'd put that down to away teams never taking their allocations at SB.

Trust me, I live down south and there's fucking loads of Chelsea fans about. And they've been about before Roman too.

I live in London Liam and have two Chelsea mates who are fans. They are far, far outnumbered by Arsenal and Spurs. They always seem to manage to get tickets for home and away but neither are season ticket holders. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh because they reckon they are a bigger club than city but still, I think people presume they are more supported than they are due to their recent success.

What I would add though is that they have a large set of hardcore supporters who are very passionate and follow the team home and away.

Re: Best supported English clubs

We're not as well supported as people make out. We have a very good hardcore base of about 30,000 but our national support is nowhere as high as people on here make out. We have had too many years with no success that has cost us fans. If we are as well supported as claimed in the above list we would have sold out last night, sold out the charity shield and not had so much trouble selling out the champions league (not sure we sold them all out). It's nothing to be ashamed off and it will get better!

When I have the unfortunate duty of going out in Milton Keynes, you hear songs from Chelsea and Spurs more than anyone else. Spurs and West Ham (and United!) are the most supported clubs in London from my experience. Chelsea are huge in areas like Oxford, Reading and Surrey.

I was always under the impression that chelsea hardly had any fans.

Slight technical problem there!

Re: Best supported English clubs

please change your title from Best to Most.

Absolutely!!!

Size and success is no measure of best. The depth and loyalty of support in English football is the envy of the world. Success will always attract its own followers. Many lower league teams have supporters who qualify as the best.

OP grow up beyond playground banter. Soon your balls may drop and then you will be a man or if you are a female, may your boobs expand until you can float up to the Sun (page3 sic). Facetious I know but known in some circles as humour.
