    Depends how you look at it really.

    if you look at the number of season tickets sold then from what i can see She***eld United win with 24,000 with L**ds coming second with 21,850
    if you look at it how i always look at it, which is the number of season ticket holders against the population, if there is more than one club divide the populaiton by the number of clubs. If you do this then you get the following

    upload_2023-8-30_14-30-45.png

    Now i know the figures arent all correct, but the population figures i got from off Wikipedia and the season tickets are what i could find online.

    True geographically Derbyshire but regarded as a local team by Look North and Radio Sheffield admittedly their main rivals are Mansfield Town Rotherham and the Sheffield clubs,i

    That 200,000+ is the Metropolitan Borough which swallowed up small towns like Penistone, Hoyland, Wombwell and Royston plus larger villages which were formerly in the West Riding. At the time of the 70s reorganisation Barnsley ( the town) had a population of 75,000 whilst Sheffield was 500,000. Since those small towns had no special affinity to Barnsley, fans from all the local clubs lived there.

    Penistone is almost halfway between hillsborough and oakwell, to claim its barnsley fc territory is a bit dubious, its very mixed
