A larger proportion of the population go to games in Burnley and Brighton. Burnley was a founder member of the football league, unlike any teams from the cities you mention. You can play this any way you like.
Well, they played unfair and spent more money than Man Utd or Liverpool. Which was jolly unsporting of them.
Few can match Nailsworth (Forest Green Rovers) for proportion of their population attending. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
That was very early doors, Burnley are there after almost half a season and Southamption finished 6th (think) a couple of seasons ago but all this pales in comparison to what Leicester did.
