LDN Blue 7,903 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 No surprises? You're kidding me? No way is our European fanbase bigger than Arsenal, Liverpool and Milan?!I think the survey takes into account Africa and other continental fans. That's why it doesn't surprise me Inter and AC aren't up there, they're known but not supported by most. Though the Arsenal and Liverpool one is a bit of an odd one.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 They'll do a similar survey in 2012 and find Barcelona and United's fanbase has gone down massively and Man City suddenly are the world's favourite club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas 1,468 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 It's clearly short-term popularity since Farcelona have almost twice United's and Real Madrid's fans.Still nice to see our club being up there,who would have thought in 97 that we would be ranked higher than AC Milan?

People here in the US know who Arsenal and Liverpool are, but many of them have never heard of Chelsea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here in the US know who Arsenal and Liverpool are, but many of them have never heard of Chelsea!Different story when I was in Kenya.. Saw quite alot of United, Chelsea & Liverpool fans.. 1 or 2 AC shirts but I suspect those were worn out of having the jersey rather than supporting the club.
