Making them the 7th best supported team in the Premier League, according to a survey published in today's Times (page 91).

Not even on the list.

I remember the Echo did some survey about 10 year ago and it reckoned that we had 1.3 million fans worldwide. Might be slightly more now, but can't see it being much higher.

You are right and ive always made this point. There are in the region of 1.5 million more people that have SJP as the nearest big club ground than the SOL and they average a few thousand more.

Could you possibly list the top 10? I'd be really interested to see it. Recently I got to into an argument with a Villa and an Everton fan who both claimed their respective clubs had more fans than each other and Spurs. I wasn't sure who had the most fans out of Villa and Everton, but surely Spurs have far more fans than either of them.

The article doesn't list the top 10 in the Prem.

Its just lists the best supported clubs in the world, of which the Mags happened to be on the list.

Tottenham have 11 million according to the survey, making them better supported than Villa and Everton who were unlisted.
