Jimenez 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Manchester United due to their so called fans in Ireland, China, Pakistan, Cambodia, Ghana and Peru. Probably Riverplate or Boca with a localized fan base Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polar bear 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm sure we were in the top 8 last time one of those lists were released. A buddy of mine(a Bear) just call to say that he and a fellow worker(portuguese guy, Benfica fan) are arguing over who has the biggest fan base. I've heard they have a pretty big fan base world wide(Brazil maybe),but surely not as big as ours eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF5LOYAL 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Doesn't Benfica have a crazy amount in their fanbase aswell? Im sure it was them. They have the most "registered" fans in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must get a lot of support from the many Portugese colonies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearessentials 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Mate of mine got what he said was a FIFA listing. Real Madrid Juventus AC Milan Man U Bayern Muniich Boca Juniors Barcelona Liverpool CELTIC Arsenal RANGERS Sao Paulo Inter Benfica Atletico Madrid Ajax In that order apparently. I've just copied from e-mail he sent me a whhile ago. Doesn't make much sense to me. Probbly a windup, tho, being a ManUre fan you'd expect to seethem at the top.

Bruce 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'd estimtae we probably have around 1 million fans worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOLUWDC 1 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It says on Wikipedia that Celtic have 9 million (I know Wiki can be a piss-take but it has a source from The Scotsman saying it as well) which include 1 million in North America doesn't mention how many we have. Read in the UEFA Cup final program that we have 750k registered fans whilst Zenit had 12,000. Half of Portugal support Benfica and Man U have most fans in the world. Not many clubs can take 200,000 fans to a match though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelle1880 323 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 You have to describe what a real fan is. Yeah sure, ManUre have a lot of so-called fans over the whole world, but for example Juventus have the biggest amount of fan clubs in the world. I think Rangers rank in the top 10-15 when it comes to REAL fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearessentials 0 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yeah, Wiki can be real inaccurete at times, but a real measure would have to be within a certain radius of the ground. That would bring a lotta clubs down. Who could have more than us that way? RM, Barca, Bayern, Milan, inter, Juventus, a few Brazilian teams from massive cities and maybe the Buenos Aires big 2. That's put us in top 10 or 12 I think. Its hard to measuer these things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
