the third biggest on the south coast, and that's only because bournemouth haven't expanded their ground yet |  | | |

If you swap West Ham and Chelsea around (as these days you get glory hunters all over the UK backing them), and remove all of Brighton (who even the likes of you lot are bigger than), Ipswich, Derby and both Sheffield teams, and that ain’t actually a half bad list |  |

I mean of course those clubs are bigger than you. The same way we are. You’re a small lower league side that’s barely been in the top flight in the last 40years and was getting 9k crowds not long ago.
You lot are probably similar to Peterborough or Swindon | | | |

I see the skates as similar size to a Burnley or a Carlisle, a small club pretty irrelevant club really. The difference is Burnley have played top flight football recently and will probably be back next year whereas the skates cant even get out of a pub league. |  |

I think another key difference is that they haven't won anything since the sixties, a decade before you lot.
A bit similar to you lot really, and of course they have also won the FA cup once in their history. | |

Actually no Burnley are not that similar to you really as they haven’t bumped along the depths of the lower leagues for a good part of the last 60 years. | |

You know that is really capacity of stadium list, you're better than that.
West Ham came from somewhere behind your lot in the 20's to 3rd after being given a newish stadium.
Spurs have jumped now into 2nd spot from 5th with a new ground, as list was from 6 years ago.
Could you give us a clue on how you have Brighton in your top 20, you're fanbase is arguably bigger than theirs. 8th in the PL, plenty of empty seats when you see them on the box every week | | | |

Stadium capacity doesn't give you the whole story ie
Sunderland @ 49k
Wednesday @ 40k
Cardiff @ 33k
Blackburn @ 31k
Milton Keynes @ 31k
Then you have all those clubs with a smaller capacity than yours who have higher averages ie Leicester, Brighton, Wolves
Brighton have had bigger attendances than your club for the last 3/4 years - they have overtaken you. You need to accept this.
West Ham are now a seriously big club | |
