Top 25 supported clubs

Some of it is misleading due to different sizes of stadium and percentage of which they actually fill out but yeah....

Dortmund

BTW there's a full 100 list for this if anyone want's to see it....

Juventus won't get on the list seeing as the hundreds of seats behind the Metal wires (which are a design fault) are constantly empty

Your 45th in the full list with 87%

Even with 100% Juve wouldnt be on the list, stadio is too small for this list.

Edit: While on subject

Here are #s for Italy last year

This year
http://www.stadiapostcards.com/A12-13.htm

Seems to me that the average numbers is what it's based on.... so if someone averaged above 80k they would be above Dortmund irrelevant of size of stadium.

Juve's average is 35k with a 41k capacity.

Post to the full 100 list please

also wow at Liverpool. How the mighty have fallen

what...

their stadium isn't that big

I don't understand this. Last time i saw something like this, Man united and Madrid were top 2 and Dortmund weren't even in the top 20

The order is based on average gate each week and Dortmund average 80k a week so they are top.

The reason Liverpool are so low is because of stadium size.

The actual order is based on average gates the percentage on the side is saying how much each of them fill their stadiums on average.

Barca average 75% for example but because their stadium is so huge then their average is higher than most despite never filling out.

Which is why i said it's misleading, it's basically saying which teams average the most each week.

I doubt Dortmund would be the most supported club Worldwide.

It's probably between an EPL Club or La Liga.

Hertha .Exactly why I used to support them when I was young.

No way does America average 50 k a week

No.

Borussia Dortmund
2012/2013 - 80,645 average
2011/2012 - 80,521 average
2010/2011 - 79,151 average
2009/2010 - 77,246 average

Manchester United
2012/2013 - 75,411 average
2011/2012 - 75,387 average
2010/2011 - 75,109 average
2009/2010 - 74,864 average

Which leads me to ask, when was the last time you checked 'something like this'? I bet in worldwide statistics, Manchester United has the highest overall fanbase [Thank you Asia].

Dortmund has the highest game attendance, doesn't mean they are the most supported club.


Stamford bridge has only the capacity of 41,000+something, clearly not surprised we are not even top 25 on the list. Everyone at Chelsea understands the need for a bigger stadium.

It should also be noted that Dortmund isn't all-seater like most stadiums....

But dat Die Südtribüne

Think you misunderstood me. I am not talking about the Average Attendance. I am talking about overall fan base which i thought was the Table for but i might have misinterpreted it

I saw a table similar to that about the global support

By "this" I believed you were referring to the graphic in the OP, which shows the stadium attendances. By devoted fanbases [people that go to matches], German teams dominate the rankings, but in terms of worldwide support, teams in the Premier League are obviously in front due to massive sponsorship and television deals in the global market.

And yes, Manchester United definitely would be the club with the highest global support due to the most devoted fans in Asia. I wonder what attracts them to Manchester United - it must be the attractive football that they play. /sarcasm

The Original post confused me tbf

Well, the Buli (& Bayern) should really start focusing in advertising abroad, the commercial numbers for Buli teams are impressive, considering the Buli's Germany centric marketing.

There's very little to not love/respect Dortmund and I'm pretty sure the CL group is one of the best things that could have happened to them. Schooling Manchester City, only to be denied by a soft penalty & Hart and outplaying Real Madrid, arguably considered the best team in the World is giving them huge publicity.

Too bad Bayern wanted a tight bowl design - Bayern could easily sell-out an 80,000-seater stadium. I wonder if there are any expansion possibilities beyond the upgraded 71,000.

This is so confusing.
