Pawl, what's is your average in a80k stadium?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
67,953. Premership average 17/18

So, that's less than 80% of the stadium then?

I think it is safe to say that Arsenal and Chelsea would get bigger crowds at Wembley than Spurs or West Ham
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure why you're grouping us with West Ham. It would be Arsenal > Chelsea & Spurs > West Ham if going by attendances at Wembley.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think we have a larger core following than Spurs, if you compare our Carling Cup and Europa League attendances over the past decade.

And thanks to our success in CL, I would assume we have more plastic fans than you too

I think United Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea would all get 80k average, especially at those Spurs' prices

Arsenal have been hit hard over the last few years as we turned into a joke under Wenger. We've been the source of plenty of banter, not just from fans, but other clubs.

Stuff like that counts nowadays unfortunately. In my view arsenal are comfortably the bigger club, but I have no issue with people using the last 15 years or so to say it's close.

Yes, at the prices Spurs charge, you could fill Wembley every week no problem.

You've been selling out the Emirates at the highest prices in Europe for years... so cheaper tickets at Wembley, no problem

Arsenal, I take it thats a wind up as they can't fill their own 60k!? I think only United could get 80k average but as I've already said we may well get the chance to find out if you end up there while SB is being redeveloped.

No. Not giving you jokes, mate

The Arsenal sell out the Emirates every week anyway (even if many didn't show when they got bored of AW).

They would sell 80k at Spurs' prices at Wembley, seeing as they sod 60k at Arsenal prices for boring football at Emirates.

not noticed that the Emirates is a third empty every week?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep, hence I said 'selling out' the Emirates.

I think if our tickets were as cheap as Spurs, we would manage it.

Also, you had a lot negativity surrounding Wembley from the start.

We have enjoyed so much success there, I don't think we would be so negative, at least in season 1, say.

Sure, by a second, third and fourth season attendances may go down as fans get bored of Wembley

Only reason I don't think Chelsea would do it is due to distance. Most our fanbase is South West. I, personally, would struggle to get their every week.

I think a lot of our core support 40k for Carling and Europa games, would make it (compared to Spurs' 30k core support, as evidenced in Europa League and Carling ties).

PLus we have more plastics too

Ironically Wembley is far easier for me to get to than the Bridge. I'm not looking forward to it though, but I do want our ground developed, I just hope I'm still around to see it when it happens.

In an ideal world we could somehow pull off Twickenham. Travel may be a pain but im thinking more sentimental, as it would be the first time footy's ever been played there we could somewhat make it like home, Wembley would just be like playing numerous neutral games per season.

-----------------------------------------------------
One of the biggest indications of a clubs success is the size and reach of their plastic fanbase. We're not United levels of great there, no club will be for a while, but we're doing pretty good

Yes, we lead the way with sponsorship, kit deals and shirt sales too.

Chelsea have secured a £50 million sleeve sponsorship deal with Hyundai for next season with the most lucrative contract of its kind in the Premier League. The five-year deal with the South Korean car manufacturer replaces the one-year contract with Alliance Tyres, a subsidiary of the club’s shirt sponsors Yokohama Tyres,

So we should be celebrating our plastics then?

It's an interesting concept.

I don't know any other mug who buys those half and half scarves

Some of those half and half scarves contain teams that absolutely hate each other.

Most of them must end up unsold and in some bin surely, and they even have a facking date on them so you can't reuse or resell them another time or the following season.

Like those Tottenham Bayern Munich ones from May 2012

There must be legal issues with the half and half scarves.
For Spurs v Barca they were spelt "Totten ha9" or
"Totten h17". Sadly not everyone noticed before buying

Depends on what metric you are using. History and Trophies won are all in the past & wont mean shlt come the next Saturday. Spurs right now have the biggest stadium in London, are the only team playing in the Champions league and had more players in the Semis of the World cup than any other team in Europe. We have the World Cup Winning Captain in Goal, Englands center forward/ one of the most in demand players in the world and a manager who has managed to outperform his peers with a "nothing" net spend (while stadium built) over the past 3/4 years while being in demand for some of Europe's biggest clubs. .... Perhaps that counts for more than some random cup final win 20 years ago??????
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from the stadium your entire comment revolves around a single year. Spurs are obviously a big club but there’s not a chance they are bigger than Arsenal or Chelsea
