Borussia Dortmund the second most supported side? Loooool

and how is it official?

So much Germany.

How are supporters counted? Some of these numbers are very questionable.

how is this measured ?

thats because germany have the biggest stadiums

This cannot be accurate. Barcelona third ?

Surprised not to see Juventus there, but they came seventh so maybe that is why.

This is based on average attendance?

average attendances by looks of it

In that case, I retract my earlier comment. Juventus were never amongst the stadium-fillers, even in their glory days.

No surprise then that a lot of German clubs have made the list, they have the largest stadium attendence in the world.

Average attendance? Poor way to measure support, what if you have a club like Chelsea that has a relatively small stadium but big fan base? Bigger than at least some clubs on the list lol

yes that's correct.

Or Juventus, where the majority of the fans are outside Torino and where they are the second club in terms of support behind local club Torino FC in Serie B.

around 42k

I guess this ranking is not fair to certain teams, but its not a big deal really, but I think Man u would be still 1st even if all the teams hold the same amount of seats.

Barcelona and Real Madrid would be second or third however.

I just don't get this, why would they have this ranking when most stadiums don't hold the same amount of seats, I should have thought of this first before posting this lol.

Haha your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps because a lot of support is from outside the cities ?

Hertha Berlin got that much in the 2. Bundesliga btw.

The Camp Nou seats 99,354, making it the largest stadium in Europe and the eleventh largest in the world in terms of capacity.

Bernabéu has a current capacity of 80,354 spectators.

Inter had a higher attendance than any club in Serie A........ yet Bilan is ahead?

In the 2010/11 season Inter was the team with the largest number of home fans attending matches.

Yeah, I think St. Pauli has girls in their suites or something crazy like that lol, the crowd was practically a sausage convention at my time in Leverkusen.
