Another pointless table based on attendances 19:28 - May 4 with 1635 views | RAW | Another pointless table for you this time from Stoke City based on all time home attendances. This is how the top 4 leagues would look. Ipswich would be placed 4th in the Championship with an average of 17878 which is just 8 short of Naarwich. Man U are not surprisingly top. Told you it was pointless - apologies! https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-average- |  | | |  |

Mildly surprised Wolves and Birmingham are as high as they are as they were both regularly averaging sub 7,000 gates during the 80's, especially Wolves when they had three closed sides of the ground and were tumbling down the divisions. |  |

Another pointless table based on attendances on 20:40 - May 4 with 1514 views | Pendejo | Thanks. For some reason attendances have always fascinated me. There's quite a few teams there clearly having their best attendances right now; Manure, Massive, Scousepool, Arsnil, Spots and North Gateshead FC Whereas the East Terrace at The Valley used to hold way more fans than their entire ground does these days. When my father first attended games there 60,000+ wasn't unusual. |  |

Another pointless table based on attendances on 20:52 - May 4 with 1505 views | ITFC_Forever | On the subject of Stoke, they lost their first ever game in the football league 0-2 in September 1888. That remains to this day the best their running total goal difference in their Football League / Prem history has ever been, 4,591 games later. |  |

Another pointless table based on attendances on 21:03 - May 4 with 1477 views | Ftnfwest | Sunderland would be in the premier league based on current average attendances let alone all time. Anyway I’d rather have 3 trophies than 8 more people, and however many fingers that is |  | |  |
Another pointless table based on attendances on 22:27 - May 4 with 1404 views | Swansea_Blue | Interesting to see only 8 people difference between us and them up the road. This won't go down well with some, but we're very, very similar. I think that's what grates on a lot of people too. Sure we've won a few important cups several decades ago in 2 golden periods, but we're hardly doing the business now. Averaging it out, we're both 2 parochial sides in a part of the world where people speak funny. Both family clubs, both average in size with limited resources historically and middling attendances. Our fans just average a digit less on each hand. |  |

For real? That is bonkers. Although if you start off with a few losing seasons it will be hard to ever catch up |  |

Yep, saw it on Twitter the other day and took great delight in showing it to my Stoke supporting mate. The closest they ever got back to 0 after the initial decline in the first few seasons was August 1947 when they got to -47. |  |

Although if you are a Stoke supporter you may view it as a Lesser Stat, and if you are one of these people who say that the only statistic that matters is the final score you probably see it as just another Nether Stat. So, at the end of the day, it is a Stat-on-Trent... (I just put Stoke into my search bar to check on the hyphenage and the first result came up as coronavirus cases, the second as news, the third as weather and the fourth as bin collection days - buzzing place). |  |

On the flipside because those absolutely cling on to these numbers you'd be gutted if you was them. For 10 solid years we've been losing most weeks and they've been winning or playing Prem football. So to only be 8 ahead is hilarious. It's not a Suffolk thing to be proud and make people aware, but our crowds are incredible given it's 1 promotion in 20 years and 80% of that time outside the top 6. Which other town with less than 200,000 population comes close to that? |  |
