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:

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.

also Serie A fun facts

*AS Roma is called the good of the Rome teams, Fan wise, where Lazio Roma fans have been called out for fascism on occasion

*Juventus were relegated because of the corruption scandal, they gloriously fought themselves back to the top of italian football

*one of the current oldest teams in the serie a is SPAL, founded in 1907, who had returned to serie a in 2016 after a absence from top level of 49 years, and current manager of theirs is former italy international Luigi Di Biagio

*the fiorentine stadium was first called Stadio Giovanni Berta after a famous florence fascist but had a name change to Stadio Artemio Franchi (named after one of their most successful club presidents)

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.

Chinese Super League:
1. Beijing Sinobo Guoan - Workers Stadium - 66,161
2. Jiangsu Suning - Nanjing Olympic Sports Center - 61,443

7. Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao - Tianhe Stadium - 54,856 (the reigning champions)
8. Tianjin TEDA - Tianjin Olympic Center - 54,696

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 28-02-2020 07:33 AM

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

Mystic Mock 12-03-2020 11:58 AM

NIFL Premiership:
1. Linfield - Windsor Park - 18,614
2. Institute (They share one thing in common with Derry Girls lol) - Brandywell Stadium - 7,700
3. Glentoran - The Oval - 6,054
4. Dungannon Swifts - Stangmore Park - 5,000
5. Carrick Rangers - Hotel Loughshore Arena - 4,500
6. Glenavon - Mourneview Park - 4,160
7. Crusaders - Seaview - 3,383
8. Ballymena Utd - The Showgrounds - 3,050

10. Coleraine - The Showgrounds - 2,496
11. Larne - Inver Park - 2,000
12. Warrenpoint Town - Milltown - 1,280

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
3. Crusaders - Pld 31 - W 17 - D 8 - L 6 - GD +36 - Pts 59
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
10. Ballymena Utd - Pld 31 - W 7 - D 6 - L 18 - GD -20 - Pts 27
11. Warrenpoint Town (relegation Playoff) - Pld 31 - W 5 - D 3 - L 23 - GD -59 - Pts 18
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.

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.
