Richest/poorest fans

[mr_nool]

Saw an uniteresting, but mildly entertaining list of the richest/poorest premier league fans, based upon avarage yearly income. I have no idea how the list has been created or if it's statistically valid, but it's no surprise to see that that the top 4 consists solely of London teams. In fact, from the top seven, Liverpool is the only team that doesn't mainly have London based fans.

1) Chelsea, 31 435

2) Tottenham, 29 644

3) Arsenal, 28 884

4) Manchester United, 23 477

5) Liverpool, 22 968

6) Fulham, 22 940

7) West Ham, 22 368

8) Birmingham, 22 305

9) Aston Villa, 21 699

10) Everton, 21 642

11) Portsmouth, 21 224

12) Blackburn, 21 112

13) Sunderland, 21 006

14) Bolton, 20 979

15) Wolverhampton, 20 865

16) Hull, 20 828

17) Stoke, 20 690

18) Manchester City, 20 335

19) Wigan, 18 679

20) Burnley, 18 478

And obviously I will have to be the one buying pints the next time I'm in the Townley, you poor bastards!

Come on then own up, which of you bastards is dragging us down? Go and support Chelsea or get a decent job.

[Abu Dhabi]

Seems we are relegated :(

Edit: too bad they dont count the sheikh as a fan..

I wonder if this is based on season ticket holders as we have lot of very young season tickets for youngsters which would explain it.

I read study some years back about City and united supporters living in Greater Manchester area and in that research there was no big difference in education level (City supporters slightly more educated) or income level (united supporters had slightly better average income). Only thing that would explain it all is the amount of supporters both rags and Liverpool draw from London area.

With my commission alone we could get to 4th spot!!! Try harder you lazy bastards!!

[Paul68]

That Stoke fan is on a good yearly wage then....

[Twobob]

No wonder I'm allways skint!

And from the looks of things my Taxes go a long way to keeping people in Wigan, Burnley and Stoke in thier Ciggies!

Have to say I'm shocked to see us behind Stoke and Hull though. How is that possible? And how can we be behind Bolton when unemployement in Bolton was at least year ago 24.9% whereas in Manchester borough it was "only" 16.8%? Then again, being unemplyed is bad enough so you wouldn't want extra depression of supporting Bolton Wanderers.

Not to worry, Ive been in touch with those who did the study and they have removed my paltry Cab drivers, debt riven, tip lacking, creidt crunch damaged wages....and we have shot up the league.
Anyone lend me a fiver?

Everton 10th because half of them work in the media & theatre & the other half rob everybody else.

[razor400]

I wouldn't get out of bed for any of those averages.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Most of them seem to come from Wales when I drive up the motorway!
