I might consider doing their league soon though.

i know my Fortuna has little stadium capacity but these teams have a reputation as ''cult teams''

also sometimes a better and more fun atmosphere during matches than a Barcelona match for example with that huge Camp Nou where if you are at the highest seats you can't really see the players :joker:

Italian Serie A teams by stadium capacity

1. AC Milan (75.923) *note AC and Inter share the stadium*

There's nothing wrong with supporting a smaller team.

Imo it can be interesting to see how much a smaller team can over achieve sometimes, the biggest examples on this thread so far being Getafe and Atalanta, they've done incredible to be currently achieving their feats given their smaller stadium capacities compared to most teams in their respective leagues.

[Mystic Mock]

Jesus, so they are.

Im so out of touch these days.:bawling:

Tbf if it weren't for doing this thread, I'd have thought the same as you.

I'm gonna do the League that has Berwick Rangers in it next because I'm curious to know where they place.

Lowland Football League:
1. East Stirlingshire - Falkirk Stadium - 7,937
2. Caumbernauld Colts - Broadwood Stadium - 7,936

And great job Nicky btw with the Eredivisie and Serie A stats.:)

If anybody else wants to have a go at this as well there is no rule saying that you can't. I think that Nicky will agree with me in saying how much fun this can actually be. It's more fun to me than that Wolves vs Leicester game last night anyway to me.:laugh:

You're really good at doing this Nicky.:)

I in particular love some of the side details that you're doing, I honestly need to do more lists like that eventually.

Anyway I'm going for a League that's on the rise in Association Football at the moment, and tbh this country desperately needs a discussion that's positive about their country as sadly they've had a terrible start to the year.

No offence to any possible Sochaux fan that might possibly be reading this thread, but Bonal?!:laugh3: I know that it's childish humour, but the unintentional innuendo there is just funny that it's translated to sound like boner.:joker:

Childish humour aside (Nicky91 and Michael21 do apologise over their comments:smug:) have you ever been to any of these Stadiums? And if so what are they like?

[Mystic Mock]

Yes I'm bumping this up again for anybody that cares.:joker:

NIFL Premiership:

Fact 1 - Ballymena Utd and Coleraine do not in fact groundshare, they both have separate Stadiums that share the same name.

Fact 2 - Coleraine's Showgrounds Stadium can really hold up to over 13,000 people, but most of the Stadium doesn't get used due to health & safety reasons.

Fact 3 - Warrenpoint Town play in Sky Blue just like Coventry City and Man City.

And here's the NIFL Premiership table in a more rough manner.:laugh:

1. Linfield - Pld 31 - W 22 - D 3 - L 6 - GD +47 - Pts 69
2. Coleraine - Pld 31 - W 19 - D 8 - L 4 - GD +40 - Pts 65

4. Cliftonville - Pld 31 - W 18 - D 5 - L 8 - GD +26 - Pts 59
5. Glentoran - Pld 31 - W 17 - D 7 - L 7 - GD +27 - Pts 58
6. Larne - Pld 31 - W 16 - D 8 - L 7 - GD +30 - Pts 56
7. Glenavon - Pld 31 - W 10 - D 5 - L 16 - GD -25 - Pts 35
8. Carrick Rangers - Pld 31 - W 10 - D 2 - L 19 - GD -13 - Pts 32
9. Dungannon Swifts - Pld 31 - W 8 - D 6 - L 17 - GD -40 - Pts 30

12. Institute (relegated) - Pld 31 - W 2 - D 9 - L 20 - GD -49 - Pts 15

If there's any major differences between the Stadium capacity and the season placings between teams then I'd love to know, as there's some that I might've not noticed.

And going off topic for a second, I hope that everybody is doing fine on the Forum, and hopefully everybody in the world can pull through what's been a terrible year so far imo. Thank god for my friends, Family, and the Entertainment Industry in general keeping me from going fully insane.

[Dogeatdog]

Thanks to Corona the capacity of these may as well be zero now :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

Thanks to Corona the capacity of these may as well be zero now :laugh:

Who are you going to play? If the game goes ahead.

[Mystic Mock]

Tbh I wouldn’t mind if they called of the Charlton game this weekend, we are just playing shocking atm :laugh:

Sadly some bad news has come in from Charlton's perspective (don't worry it's not related to the Coronavirus issue) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51851930

I feel sorry for the fans and the rest of the staff that have to put up with the bickering.

Also I really hope that the EFL reconsider their decision to punish them, after all how many teams are gonna get punished under this very harsh FFP system? The EFL and the FA appear to be selective on which teams that they punish, and how severe that they'll punish teams over the same or similar incidents.
