Not necessarily the right order, but the top 20 looks about right. It's once you go below 20th position that the list gets more subjective. Because it is weighted towards past achievements without any particular recognition of recent history, the list can then look distorted. Certainly given current parameters in terms of both league status and indeed attendances, Brighton should be quite some way above 50th and certainly above teams like Plymouth Argyle, Barnsley, Millwall and Oldham.

We're not as big as some of us think we are. Maybe in 10, 20, 30 years we'll be big, but we're just getting started again at the moment.

It'll be worked purely on attendances since 2011.

The critical missing element seems to be recency. There is no weighting to reflect the changing nature of football since the war say and certainly since the mid 60's where football changed forever (TV, changing soci-demographics etc etc)

This. It's a rather big omission but not that hard to build in.

Factor in that Brighton went through a backroom and stadium crisis, and ten-twenty years later average 30K a game pushing for the Premiership. And you might get different results Seriously, I doubt other clubs will go through that AND thrive in the future like we are.

The first post in this thread reminded me of another self assured individual who once appeared - now gold.

It's fair that the points system is built on what's happened rather than hypothetical scenarios such as if Archer and Bellotti turned out to be saints, or if Withdean Stadium was a 20,000 stadium.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we could win the Champions League 10 years on the trot and still be below you based on this

Ps - Shouldn't there be a 25 points deduction everytime a team enters administration and a further 100 point deduction if they shaft the St.John Ambulance ?

6 points for a FA Cup win is actually 12 points as you will get another 4 for an FA Cup appearance plus another 2 for a Semi Final appearance. Does average home attendance take into account away fans % ? What about batting and bowling bonus points ?

So, so true.

Very thorough analysis - but is based on where clubs have been - not where they're going!

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Brighton are No.1 for me....I know,I've done the maths....

 

[Djmiles]

Oldham bigger than Swansea?

Christ almighty.

Even Millwall are above you !!
Why we're on about point deductions, maybe you should deduct 25 points for the clappers/ song sheets, and 50 points for the shitter.

I don't think the OP has a girlfriend.

Otherwise I concur with this ludicrous league.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

What a bloody waste of time, time in existance skews this shirly

Strange that your so friggin big you feel the need to visit NSC so much. Probably I guess because your fansite like your attendances are in fact much smaller. But I guess for us it's the extreme compliment that you feel the need to be here.
