Essix Blue Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not a bad chart that. TBF neither Sheffield team looks very good on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has blackburn and stoke down as having a bigger fanbase. OK then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yet another assessment showing us to be top dogs round here, but will the Pigs and mini-Pigs accept it? Steve Evans will be launching a tirade against the press cos there's no sign of Rovrum! No doubt the Blunts will be renewing their 'fairness in football' protest!

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The only reason Wednesday are as low as 18th is because of 2 ridiculous categories. INCOME - obviously if you are in the PL you do well, if not you don't. GLOBAL fANBASE - how on earth can you accurately measure that? For instance Blackburn come 30th, us 34th, United 39th but how can anybody possibly say that is accurate. They say it is based on facts but Crowds, trophies and average league position are the only facts that can be accurately measured. Even then can't see how Liverpool rank as low as 10th for crowds or west brom as high as 12th. So basically, rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_owl_92 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Blackburn and Stoke bigger than us?! Which flippingmoron did this 'study'? What a load of b0ll0cks. I assume global fanbase just takes into consideration all the Asian and American based 'fans' who now support a Premier League team due to the endless amount of pre season tournaments and tours that PL clubs seem to do these days. So basically clubs such as Stoke, WBA, Southampton, Blackburn etc who are/have been in the PL much more recently than the likes of us, Leeds, Forest are all now classed as bigger clubs because more people abroad will buy the shirts and watch their games? But yes everyone in the world knows that the Blunts are forever destined to be in our shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Not a bad chart that. TBF neither Sheffield team looks very good on it I don't know. Think it's probably about right and if we'd not been struggling for the last 15 years we'd probably be higher. Think top 15 would be better. Don't care about Utd at all.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 12th Biggest on crowds 14th Biggest on trophies Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It's the Daily Mail FFS! I'm surprised that they don't have a column in that table called "Johnny Foreigner". It's a crock of 5h1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We are top ten in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal M Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A recent season in the Prem would have dramatically increased our income and global exposure, lifting us up that table a few spots. We aren't doing badly in that table given we've been out of the top flight for a generation. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We are top ten in my opinion. I remember posting this on a similar thread For Wednesday to be a top ten club we would have to be bigger than at least 1 of these, Form north to south Newcastle Leeds Man Utd Man city Liverpool Everton Villa Arsenal Spurs Chelsea That obviously does not include our peer group such as West Ham Forest Sunderland Derby All who would have a reasonable tap room argument against us Top 20 yes we certainly are, top 10 no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I think the global fanbase is misleading, for example Liverpool lose 2nd place to Arsenal due to Arsenals global appeal. But it doesn't seem like they considered shirt sales, but globally Liverpool far outstrips Arsenal (or at least they did 2.5 years ago when I last saw the data) Also based on the fact they have a bigger stadium, which surely doesn't represent crowds accurately Interesting article mind Edited March 26, 2015 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 That PIC of Liverpool celebrating looks like its taken at S6. Hodge in front of kop in background. Think they did us 1=5 that day with mardy arse Rush getting a hayrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If they had included unbeaten runs as part of the criteria, Huddersfield would have pisssed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essix Blue Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'd agree the top 10 in that list are bigger than us. Can't see an argument against any if them. Then West Ham and L33ds defo too imo which leaves WBA Wolves Stoke Balckburn and Southampton to argue about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaykz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The global fanbase is a ridiculous category, as it seems to be taken exclusively from how many likes each club's twitter and facebook account gets. This doesn't take into account factors such as the quality of those official club accounts, or how many fans of each club use the internet, which explains why Wigan, one of the poorest supported clubs in the top 2 divisions, are well ahead of us in that category. Still, I don't think the overall results are too far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Didn't the pigs buy a load of twitter followers a few years ago? Fairness in Facebook. We aren't close to being top 10 At the moment but a season or 2 in.The top flight would edge us towards it even if we didn't break into it. Income is a pretty strange way to measure size as the gap between the league leagues is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
