I have full 100% respect for any Rotherham fans still going to every game. No offence, but I have been looking forward to tomorrow for a few weeks.
Rotherham for the win
1-0 Rotherham coming up then
I’m saying 6-1 Norwich
Cardiff 2 vs 1Ipswich
Norwich fans getting excited to play bottom of the league, not a surprise considering how dreadful they are
Southampton have such underrated support. Some of the most loyal/ passionate fans in the 92
Correct comment
QPR’s support is quality. The other week when we played Rotherham ( Bottom v third bottom ) we sold out with days to spare. Also consider that we have THREE Premier League clubs within 5 miles of us in West London.
2 of those West London clubs are smaller tbough
Similar to Watford
@@sc1788 I hope to see good away support for our next game...
I've had a season ticket at Leeds for 12 years and hated the fact our attendance was so low, but the reason was because we were a bottom half championship club that charged £40+ for a match ticket. We had the highest prices in the football league. Can't blame people for not wanting to spend £40 for a ticket against the likes of Barnsley
might be the home side's quality also?
They're was a supporter from Leeds, who swallowed a packet of seeds, in less than an hour, his knob was a flower, and his arse hole was a bunch of weeds. Bunch of horrible scabby cunts, dreggs of the earth 😝
@hgm8337 without a doubt, as I said, mostly a bottom half championship side. Understand people not wanting to spend premier league prices for bottom half championship
Same for Wednesday but we still get 26k+ ???
@@tkb4026wendies have battered wife mentality. You always go back, no matter what. Sad to see actually, owners using and abusing a fanbase and the fanbase wear it like a badge of honour
Worth also mentioning cov were boycotting their owners. As soon as the ownership changed our numbers went back up.
That happens everywhere
Not an official boycott, but the previous ownership did tend to sack the manager when the gates dropped so the best way for Ipswich fans to show their unhappiness was also to vote with their feet. There were several times when gates of 16,000 were being announced when we prob had under 10,000 in the ground in the Championship years with Marcus Evans as owner.
One slight flaw in the quest for most loyal. Clubs announce the number of tickets sold and not the actual attendance, which is why you get so many bemused faces when attendances are announced. For example, you may be a season ticket holder and decide not to attend for whatever reason. Indeed, the match could be on the telly. However, you are still counted as being there even if you haven't been through a turnstile. The only people who know the actual attendance are the stadium manager and the police's match commander.
Saints fans always been underrated we are used to it now!
As a Leeds Fan , have to say always the nicest fans , modest etc.
Every club in the world has loyal fans whether there’s hundreds or hundreds of thousands. Stupid video
Like you said, people don’t realise how big Ewood Park is, whether we filled it to the max in the 90’s or not, naturally the worse you get the less fans want to watch, if our stadium was like the Vitality, Kenilworth Road, Stadium of Liberty, Home Park etc. we’d probably make it look a lot more full, it’s just that since Venkys came in less and less people are watching.
If Coventry have 9000 fans I’m one of them
If Coventry have 1 fan it’s me
If Coventry have zero I’m dead
Leeds and Sunderland in 15th and 13th is fucking crazy we both have the best fans in the championship
Figures don't lie.
Sunderland half full stadium all season under 24k there but Sunderland football club saying 41k 😂😂😂😂 diana abbott doing the numbers 🤔
@@toonboy2658I can't believe 24k
@brythonicman3267 but not 41k when Newcastle played Sunderland in the FA Cup game only 41 there still can't sell out for a Derby game
Where do you get these figures??,when mad Mick was in charge at Ipswich you could count the crowd on one hand and most of them where asleep.
I didnt go to Elland Road simple because of Ken Bates. I was away for years.
As a Saints fan, I absolutely agree!
Interesting stuff cheers
Thanks for sharing.
2015/16, I was one of the 22,446 :D
how times have changed . . .
Bristol city in 2012/13 the 11,929 was when we had a Stadium Capacity of 13,500 and 3 stands Which is mental
I SOO love your content Ben 👏👏👏👏
One thing to note about Plymouth is while our home attendances have greatly fluctuated over the 10 years, the away support has remained fairly consistent.
Obviously not what the video is primarily about, but the most dedicated of us Argyle fans really have stuck with the club through thick and thin and travelled large distances each season to do so.
Facts dont lie though, I do think we have a fair amount of plastics with our fanbase that have only jumped on the bandwagon while things have gotten better. This was particularly shown in the EFL trophy last season. We didnt sell out a home end crowd of about 15,000 during the semi final, yet suddenly we were able to bring 45,000+ to Wembley (majority left before full time, showing the plastic nature of those fans too)
That's true, always had a consistent away following
Easy one BOTH SHEFFIELD clubs have been in bottom 3 all season both have been on Sky tv this week & over 61k Fans have been to football in Sheffield this week!
SWFC have been poorly run for 24 years they also have the most expensive ticket prices they are only 4 miles away from SUFC so I’m going for SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY as the most loyalty fans
Definitely agree Sheffield Wednesday fans are the most loyal of all championship clubs especially if you take into account poor results in the championship for most seasons and the very high season ticket prices and we are second bottom and could get relegated, no other club comes close to our fans.
As a miller i have no doubt Wednesday will be claiming the title as they like to remind us all every week. And dare anyone who challenges them!
I didn't think us Leeds Fans would be so low.
We have such a good atmosphere for our tiny stadium , but also being one of the most hated clubs in English football, it makes sense.
MOT
I started attending Ipswich games AFTER we were relegated. I figured that's when my club needed me the most!
Sunderland. No contest. From a NUFC supporter.
Under 25k there playing Blackburn 51
Come on the Saints
Ipswich being plastic? Imagine my shock.
The number of season ticket holders as a percentage of ground capacity might be a better test of loyalty. These fans have committed 9 months of the year to attending home games, without knowing how their team is going to perform.
Coventry have smallest now is 30000 and max 35000
All fans like success so you can look at the parachute payment clubs for the best attendances. There are few exceptions.
Preston North end and Blackburn rovers do give generous ticket allocations to visiting fans.
We (pne) usually give everyone, or at least the clubs that can handle the allocation all of the kop. I'm pretty sure that's around 6000. The one exception to that is blackpool, and that was only after they started spitting their dummies out and only giving PNE 2000 tickets, so we just do the same. Other than them any club like Leeds or Sunderland or Wednesday etc we will usually offer them the whole kop, so i think that's pretty fair and it makes for a better atmosphere as well.
They can afford to. They know the home fans aren't exactly queuing up for those tickets.
Sunderland
😂😂😂😂😂 25k there and Sunderland football club said 41k half full stadium embarrassing
Typical Geordie you never bring up the 10.000 free season tickets do you that’s embarrassing

Birminghams is underrated, no promotions, no play off fights, highest position was (12th twice), finished bottom 8 in all the last 8 seasons, 2 different awful ownerships (thankfully not anymore), sooo many relegation battles etc
Blackburns figures have hardly changed because their support has always been sh!t. 😅
Leeds, Coventry, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Plymouth, Sunderland, Sheffield wednesday, Stoke
The amount of fans on here still trying to argue against actual facts is hilarious😂!
Wednesday's season tickets' undiscounted prices are high but most Wednesdayites buy their tickets when they are discounted. Such as the earlybird discount or buying multi-season tickets. The full price isn't paid by very many fans at all and the discounts are very generous. The High face values are an incentive to supporters to buy their tickets early which enables the club to plan a bit better. Yes I know many say that Mr C. is a bad owner, and he may well be, but ticket prices for the vast majority of fans are often cheaper than rival clubs if you take advantage of the discounts.
That's fine if you can get to every match pal, but fan's like me who can't make as many matches through work commitments are being fleeced to make up the shortfalls of giving cheep early bird tickets!! Used to have a season ticket home and away intil I changed my job over ten years ago and have to work weekends, so now I pick and choose matches that I think are worth paying the silly prices for 😊😊😊😊
@andrewcoxhead6451 like I said the majority, I didn't say everyone, but if you have a problem and need help with your ticket price contact Mr C and he will give you a personal deal.
Season tickets used to go on sale after the season finished. Now they go on sale just after Christmas. As for discount they are dear to start with when compared to other clubs. I think you have to look at cities/ towns that have two clubs ,I often wonder what the attendance would be if there was just one club in Sheffield.
Sunderland week game under 24k there but Sunderland football club saying 41k there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sheffield Wednesday fans 💯 %
Interesting. Wonder if it means theres buggerall else to do in the places where there’s little fluctuation 😂😂😂
What about clubs based on attendances versus city/town populations!?
Norwich definitely more impressive than Southampton, considering they've been in the prem every year apart from this year
We 9Norwich) have a high proportion of season ticket holders but yeah that is pretty impressive. Back in the eighties and nineties we tended to get 14 000 odd, so big improvement since then! Our most successful seasons were back then as well
Population of Norwich and itt's suburbs has increased significantly in past twenty odd years, so that probably is part of reason why!
Plymouth,without a doubt,
Sunderland away on a Tuesday night in Winter.they are the best suppporters in England !
id say stokes got to be up there
the top 2 are insanity. like im an safc fan and we have a larger stadium and a huge catchment area like so i fully understand sometimes when people dont wana come and pay the rediculous prices to watch some of the shyt weve had to but its still sad. our worst attribute by far is people leaving the stadium from 80mins. win or losing. like i get it. its ur money and u can do as u please but its just such a bad culture. i mean im astounded by them top 2 they usually have good seasons in the championship and bounce back to prem with paracute payments and stronger squad and stuff so i suppose its easier to pull a crows when youre always pushing at the top. but its still mega impressive. in shock to see plymouth at the bottom though..... those guys and leeds support are no joke.
Although Saints were in the top flight for most of that time, it's also worth pointing out that they had been consistently doing poorly in the Premier League for about half of that 10 year period, often barely scraping survival, and also had some record breaking losses that were beyond embarrassing for the fans. So it's not like that time in the Prem was all roses and sunshine.
That's true, very consistent support over the years
A sensible football fan is rare. My club is Leeds and what is the point of going back up just to get smashed week in week out? I love this league. Any other year and you'd be sat top of the table. We are a top 4 and the rest are just not in the race. Records are getting broken every week, Is Southampton's record 25 games undefeated? Leeds broke their own. 9 winning games on the bounce. We have only dropped 2 points all year.
What about doing a prem league one.
Me, Blues fan:”last 10 years?!…gulp”🥴
Do one about away support Ben. Boro would be right up there. Loyalest tend to be the travelling fans.
Boro don't sell out
@@toonboy2658 Selling out? Now, that’s something you really know about.
What he ignored the covid year, your gotta count skysports and a club with 10 owners haha
destined to be 5th, although i am pretty sure the low attendance is incorrect as I have seen this issue previously. The 19k is for this season whereas the actual figure is about 23k. Otherwise good video.
Good spot, yeah that might be an error with the data
Sunderland or Leeds not really up for debate
Don’t believe the figures that Sunderland put out. At a recent home game they announced a crowd of over 40,000. My neighbour was working as a steward at the match and said there was nowhere near 30,000 in the stadium.
@@apb3440Sunderland last home game 25k there not 41k my friend works there
Not sure why you didn't mention Blackburn dropped down to L1 but most fans stuck by the club 🤔. 17% taking that into consideration is quite impressive. Stadium is way too big for a small town with so many clubs in the North West unfortunately and the giants in Manchester and Liverpool
What about Aston Villa spending 3 years in the championship between 2016-2019, you've completely forgotten them & their very loyal fan base.. I believe they would have a small % of fluctuation & probably would be at the top of your list.
Your forgetting that Leeds closed the top tier of the east stand and south stand for a number of seasons..
Leeds will feel nose put out of joint but stats don't lie.
22k at our lowest still puts most to shame, only beaten on this list by small teams who were in the premier league in the last 10 years. So clearly still the most loyal in the championship.
coventry figures wrong highest is way more than that
Plymouth Argyle, - obviously !
You should do a 'most deluded' Championship fans, interested to see who comes second after Leeds... lol UTT
Don't forget birmingham had 2 stands which reduced capacity by 10,000 for nearly 4 seasons.
And they are still empty
16,000 to 20,000 average isn't bad for the position we're in , at least the seats don't look empty when a couple of goals go in like at villa Park.
Joker in the house - villa Park half full is still more than Birmingham shitty's 'full house' average attendance 41,000 - 😢
@@sarajoolae8197 That's only because traffic from spaghetti junction get confused and think its an outdoor library.
🔰
Most ridiculous way to decide on loyal fans I've ever seen, taking into account form, what has gone on behind the scenes etc.
Before watching im going to say its No contest Leeds fans are the most loyal
Oh dear. Lad I’ve been up to Leeds a decent number of times now, in early to mid 2010s and it was probably one of the emptiest grounds I’ve ever seen
Didn’t Leeds have to close a stand down in L1 because nobody was going 🤣🤣🤣
@@otisdelion795 it's only seems empty because it has a large capacity compared to every other ground which can barely make it over 15k, not to mention it's easy to fill something when you have a tiny stadium 🏟️
I think you'll find that they always have decent crowds when they do well but like another poster has said, not so long ago they didn't open the top tier of thier main stand😮😮.I will say that they always fill out away though 😉.
The reason the top part of the stand was closed was don’t to the fact the national safety board would not issue leeds a safety certificate as some of the previous owners didn’t maintain to the standard required hence shutting it down. Hope that clears up all Rhee negative comments. Leeds united are the top club in the division. End of debate
Fan loyalty is the deathnell for any team. Unless fans vote with their feet the owners, managers and players just coast along making no effort. I'm sure many fans can look at their own teams and agree.
Why didn’t you talk about Birmingham you seems to just miss us out but they only cuz ours stands was closed
Exactly
It's not the only reason, because you never sell out anyway when the ground is in full operation
Hull fans 🤔 we have sold out the MKM a few times this season but we havent made ourselves heard enough to effect the team thats why our home form is below par and our away form is considerably better.
Our fans don't really go much I own A season ticket and go to most matches
rubbish mate,the biggest supported club in the championship is sunderland never mind about the gate detaile sunderland are the highest supported club in the championship%
Stoke. Took 3,000 to Preston
2,500 to Sunderland
2,000 to Plymouth
So would any club worth its salt being located where Stoke is.
@@angelicupstart1977 of course, but they dont
You got Leeds attendance wrong. They have always sold out the tickets.
No they haven't. I had a season ticket from 1979 till 2018. Ken bates years were the worst as he massively increased prices then stole a few million each year.
No they haven't 😂😂😂 2015 we went there and the ground was nearly empty
Sunderland by far look when leeds blackburn an others went too league one the same loyalty wasn't there
I remember when sunderland were relegated & the place looked empty yet claimed about 30k was in. I never trust their figures.
@@martinwoodworth3715 30k in a 50k seater would look pretty empty facts don't lie though highest attendances league one now the championship. Folk are bitter
@@RobbieBird I'm not bitter, I'm suspicious. I would guess sunderland are including season ticket holders in the attendance figure when they don't turn up. 27k in a 48k would not look like there was hardly anyone there.
@@martinwoodworth3715 28k 38k 48k who cares probably still more then you get 😂
@RobbieBird your last game at home was 25k not 41k wot smb football club said 😅😅
It's called season ticket holders mate they got to renew some clubs you got to buy two years up front you can't base it on what you're saying
What a "scientific" review 😂
Hate saying it but leeds have got class fans .Ipswich by far the worst in championship
The list would only be accurate if you only factored clubs who have been in the championship for 10 years. Southampton shouldn’t really be on it, I’m sure if they started watching championship football for the next 10 years, finishing 15th it would drop to 12k
Nice try mate, when Southampton were in league one from 2009-2011 they averaged 21k 😂😂
Surely boro aren’t that low thi
This debate is age old. I'm an Ipswich fan, I've been going since I was 7 so I've seen some crap football and low attendances. We get alot of comments about it but when every single 1 of the 24 clubs in this league had a poor spell, addendances drop it's just how it is. You can go look at every clubs attendances and find the years where they were poor and there's ya facts. No club has had sell outs when they were crap. The only clubs that remain high attendance when below good is the top 6 prem teams. Man u been crap still sell out
Not every single one
Southampton shouldn't be on that list since most if not all of the "10" years were in the Prem and as for a Prem team thats low attendance.
mate pls do ur research before speaking. Firstly st Mary’s is capped at around 32k ppl so there’s no way they can go any larger And secondly soton have always been around 10-13th place in terms of attendance in the prem. The last time I checked that means mid table, no where near low attendance. The lowest they ever had was last season and they were 15th which considering they got relegated isn’t all bad
@@Huayra21again never a full house but ok pal.
It’s no secret that Cardiffs stadium is far too big for them. Mind, the red seats make for colourful viewing. In all seriousness, they think they’re bigger than Barcelona. A very deluded fan base indeed.
This is unacurate as fuck, west brom played blackburn earlier this season they did like 2 chants they were shite.
Coventry city cmon PUSB
You can't get anymore loyal fans than Leeds end of, this is crap
Why doesn't this not include away games as teams like Cov, Boro, Plymouth etc mote than often sell out every away game. Come on Ben you are better than this 😂😂
People keep going on about Leeds , Leeds is a massive city with only one club which is a lot of the reason they get good attendances !

Still don't get your comment, not saying our team is the most loyal and all come no matter what but still don't get your comment. Not everyone can afford to pay the ticket price when you are shit and have to justify it to your family.

Leeds best supported team in champship don't agree if they had birmingham board even the crowd's would go down
Absolutely shocking that a city the size of Leeds can get attendances as low as 22k.
They do have a pretty well supporte drugby league team as well I suppose, but then the RL season is February until October
Pointless video. To many factors
