So we are 14th highest for attendances, we finished exactly where the money says we should but any club below us with a higher attendance has under achieved? Theoretically.

Interesting, shows how well Burnley are supported place isn’t much bigger than Barry and penarth ffs. We on the other hand….taking into consideration our support from the valleys, Bridgend, PT, the vale etc….support from the city itself is less than 5%. City has a 400,000 pop nowadays and 5% of that is 20,000 which is way off…..

Thing is both Swansea and Cardiff have a big fan base out of their respective cities.

Let’s be honest they are the two biggest land based clubs in the whole country, so it’s all a bit skewed.

Plus these are home fans only attendances, apparently.

How many football clubs aren't based on land then?

Norwich have excellent support considering.

For us, much like the Canton Jamrags, our support depends heavily on how well we're doing. IF we were in the Prem doing well we could probably pull in gates of 30,000+ given our catchment area and the capacity to do so, but they disappear quickly in times of trouble.

Difference between us and our Eastern Cousins is that we don't pretend otherwise.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Only Ipswich nearby and no other sports of note in the area. Very few minor clubs in Norfolk either.
But yes, they are well supported.

No way are there 433,000 ppl living in Huddersfield.
I am from there originally and it is a small town, much smaller than Swansea.

They used the local authority, Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees for the population calculation.

Wigan has a population of about 100k as a town.....but over 300k as a borough....so this is a pretty complicated list tbh.


And of course a bigger "Clwbb" than us....

Unsure how they worked it out.
But I thought that, no indicator of what they did.

There is another table doing the rounds regards wages, income and attendance and I don't remember the exact place we were in but again it was around mid table.

I think once the dust settles, the reality that the season just gone was about right where we are as a club and what we have at our disposal.

The population figures are for metropolitan areas.
Hudds is just plain wrong.
Burnley doesn’t have a metro area.
West Brom is an area of Birmingham and has a population is no more than 120,000.
No account is taken of other clubs within the or very close to the area.
Mark this as ⚽️🐂

Our away support must rank as one of the best around considering the distance we have to travel.

Unfortunately it is impossible to judge clubs local populations due to the differing local systems of government. Just in Wales for example the local population of Swansea and Cardiff have been inflated from 170,000 and 240,000 to 238,00 and 362,000 respectively because they are now both city and counties.

Even the figures for the English clubs are not consistent. Birmingham listed as over 1 million while QPR and Millwall are in London and have been given tiny population in the table when there are millions of Londoners within a travling distance of 20 minutes.

Norwich have been given a local population of 144,000 but they draw support from the while of County of Norfolk which is 950,000.

The same goes for Stoke the population of Staffordshire is 850,000.

The table is pretty meaningless because it does not compare like with like.
