    328k deeply involved football fans simply gone from the Bundesliga. And you can kinda feel that loss too because not only a quality team can make a game seem big but also a huge fanbase talking about it before and after.

    Big surprise for me. Thought Schalke was from a small city. Hamburg and Frankfurt for example are known for their fans

      It’s not. Small stadium that’s always packed and noisy and based in a suburb in Berlin.

    Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and…um…crap I can’t remember the other ones. But trust me they’re big too. Ja?

    Bayern is the biggest club in the world by members, second is Benfica. Schalke and Dortmund are still bigger than any British club (ManU is the biggest), pretty crazy stuff in terms of member numbers

      UK clubs dont have a members system so you cant really include them in the discussion. You have no basis for saying Schalke and Dortmund having larger support than Man U or Liverpool.

      There’s no point in making this comparison. Different teams and leagues have different membership conditions.

      My club, Corinthians, has 30M supporters yet I believe about 100k members bcs not all can afford a membership and it doesn’t actually give you many benefits if you don’t go often to the stadium. Not to obviously mention how expensive it can be compared to our supporters’ average income. Membership is not traditionnally in our culture.

      Here paying for a membership usually grants you a discount to go to the stadium (season tickets are not really a thing in Brazil). Germany has the 50+1 so fans have power. Having 100k members under our circumstances is already fabulous.

      Real Madrid has 2 types of membership. Socios are capped and get voting rights in things concerning the club, has been closed for over a decade I think. Second is Madridista Club which is uncapped and has over a million members

    Im surprised i dont see Werder Bremen on the list, how much do they have? Speaking of big traditional clubs i would have expected them up there.

    The fact we got ~5000 new members since relegation boggles my mind. Love me some organic growth.
