2003-2004 Saint-Etienne Was in Ligue 2 , Average attendance 22 000 http://www.footpro.fr/statistiques/...on=2003/2004&imageField3.x=18&imageField3.y=9 in France, Saint-Etienne is more popular than Lyon
But where is the link to prove it? (Kramer emphasis as in "but where does the meat go?") -can't get enough of Seinfeld- Even this year they trail OM, PSG, Lens, Lyon, and Nantes!!! http://www.footpro.fr/statistiques/affluences_moy_ligue1.asp
hmmm... funny how it seems there are more Chelsea supporters in BS than ManUtd and RealMadrid! Wonder if that's always been the case here?
CharlieBrown, St-Etienne have the most league championships in France ever (10 to be precise.) They are also one of the most recognized teams to play in europe whilst representing France and the French league, and they had some famous players playing for them. You remember some guy called Platini don't you. Look at their record it is far better than Nantes, L'OM's, PSG's and Lens. They don't even come close.
Are you suggesting nobody even knew who Chelsea were when they were a mediocre outfit in the EPL 6 years ago? Oh you are! Oh, okay then..... Real and Man U are always popular - in whatever country.
Portugal: 1- Benfica 2- Sporting 3- FC Porto This 3 have the "support" of 9 out 10 million people here in Portugal, when asking someone which team they support, probably we would have Benfica with 50 % or something(was more in the past), Sporting and FC Porto are nowadays "tied", recent studies said they have something like 20 % each, with FC Porto being the team gaining more supporters and Benfica and Sporting loosing, mainly because the dominance of FC Porto in Portugal for the last 20 years.
FRANCE Marseille (60000 seat) St Etienne (36000 seat) our worst enemies Paris St Germain (450000 seat) Lyon (42000 seat) Lens (41000 seat) Lyon Arsenal and Barcelona my favorites teams
It seems settled in France: Marseille, PSG, St Etienne are the 3 most popular teams. Does anybody has any poll results to confirm this? and does anybody has any poll results for Sapin and England? What's the 3rd most popular team in Spain? in England?
barca cause what a group and porto great upcoming talent milan do i really need to explain and lyon what a team.
When someone see a game of Real or Man U you can't say he is a fan. The fact is Barca has the most members of the world followed by Bayern. Bayern however has the most fan clubs of the world. Wait two ore three years, then Bayern will have the most fan followers: into the Allianz Arena will fit 86,000 fans, while into the Westfalen Stadium go only 82,000 fans.
Lyon and behind Inter and Napoli In UK i like Southanpton But Lyon is the town I live,and far far far my favorite team,I see all matchs in Lyon's Stadium
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Bayern_München I hope, you understand it. In the english version it isn't explained. Allianz-Arena: in the official homepage they write the Stadium has space for only 66.000 spectators. The administration in munich didn't authorize more because of the amount of traffic. When the expansion of the freeway is over Munich will allow also that 86.000 spectators can follow a game.
What's up with all the Lyon fans in here? I browse the France forum from time to time and it seems as though Lyon is the only major team without any support. ALLEZ LES VERTS
