The 8 Best Fan Bases in English Football
Fans are the life blood of any football club and the atmosphere they provide on game day can be felt through television sets at home. Which set of fans are the best in English football? Let's take a look at the top eight best fans in the Premier League.
8. Crystal Palace
Fans of Crystal Palace are the most underrated in English football. A fan poll ranked the club third for most noisiest fans, and second for most likely to sing for their team. The South London club is often overshadowed by their more fashionable London rivals, but when it comes to game day atmosphere, the vibe at the old fashioned brown-brick facade of Selhurst Park punches well above it's weight.
7. Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves fans go absolutely ballistic at the 31,700 capacity Molineux Stadium, with fans creating an atmosphere which is the loudest in the Premier League. Wolverhampton have been in the wilderness for some years, so it's no wonder Wolves fans are so loud when you considering their recent success as a mid-table Premier League team.
6. Aston Villa
Fans of Aston Villa have plenty to cheer for, a recent survey crowning Villa Park as the best experience in Europe. Villa have a large fanbase with huge support across the Midlands, and the world for that matter. Despite the lack of emotional return for Villa fans over the last decade, crowds still turn up to see their team play and Villa Park is among the most filled stadiums in the Premier League.
Up to 3,000 away fans are tucked into the Doug Ellis Stand behind one of the goals, and the close proximity to the North Stand home fans leads to scintillating back-and-forths between fans opposing.
5. Leeds United
The passion of Leeds United fans comes down to them having the highest percentage of local support in the league, with a large majority of their fans supporting the club due to their Yorkshire roots. Leeds fans were also voted the best away fans in the country with their away allocation almost always exhausted. That was when they were in the Championship.
At home, Elland Road provides one of the most authentic and electric atmospheres in English football. The fans have also gone next level following the club gaining promotion to the Premier League in 2020, after a 13-year hiatus from the top flight.
...I'll be back tomorrow with the final list of best fan bases in English football. Who are you backing to be the top fans?

English fans are one of the reasons for the superiority of the English Premier League
That's absolutely right! the fans are the key to the sport, thanks to the large number of fans, companies can carry out their advertising campaigns and with them contribute to economically strengthen the competition cycles. In other words, without fans, leagues, tournaments and other sporting events would be meaningless.
Go Manchester united ;)
100% mate. I think fans also have the mentality that they dare clubs to go down the route of a European Super League and then see what happens. I'm sure breakaway leagues would be formed. Power to the people.
Crystal Palace supporters are underappreciated; they support the team regardless of whether they win or lose. Liverpool supporters, in my opinion, should be in the next round.
I released the second part and Liverpool are definitely in it!
Yh! That's awesome
Congratulations!
