Bigger fanbase can also be measured by worldwide support, and perhaps even worldwide awareness. Swansea City's 7 consecutive seasons at the top moved them ahead of CC, and most of us have remained loyal (almost defiantly so) since the sad day the Swans were sadly relegated, and us "bandwagoners" were expected to jump off the sinking ship.
In America, we don't have fans all over the place, but there is a small cult standing that remains today. When I wear my Swans shirt around town an occasional fellow Jack (or at least an admirer of the club) identifies themselves to me. I can honestly say however that I've never in my life met more than one single Bluebird in Texas.
On the grand scale, we can measure international support/awareness in terms of followers on X. Of course, I'm not saying this is the end all, be all deciding factor which determines who is the bigger club, but here is where it currently stands on that platform:
Cardiff City - 399K (a typical number for a Championship club)
Swansea City - 1 million [Post edited 25 Aug 14:12]
