But what 'counts' more then?

Capacity = revenue (when multiplied through by percentage).

Percentage = ? How popular the top teams are? How much a team is loved? How well you're doing that season?

Portsmouth get a high percentagebut that only equates to 20k per home game. Whereas Bolton have the lowest percentage, but a slightly higher gate. Arsenal have a similar percentage to Portsmouth, but get triple the gate...

These figures can say so much that they become meaningless.

Meaningless to you, mate. But for real football supporters just a bit of light-hearted interest.

Anyway points of discussion can be about catchment areas. Portsmouth average of 6,000 before 'Arry. Whatever.

I'd like to say that next season will be their nemesis, especially Bolt-on. But with at least two that'll be coming up, there's not going to be much room left for the rest to worry about on the relegation stakes I reckon.

Another league table and Man Utd are top yet again.

Yeah, well those who live on the Surrey stockbroker belt have loads of expendable cash to travel up to Manchester for every game.
