Much has been written about how the majority of Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea fans are just glory hunters and a new report appears to back that up.

The Daily Star have published a list of where Premier League supporters come from relative to the club they support and (surprise, surprise) those three all come at the bottom with the Potters in second place having 85% of their support coming from the local area.

We’re all aware that English football is a ‘tribal thing’ and many fans support one club for life, following them through thick and thin and many Potters fans are just beginning to reap the rewards of following their club through so many barren years of lower league football.

Hull City 88%
Stoke City 85%
Wigan Athletic 80%
Newcastle Utd 77%
Middlesbrough 76%
Aston Villa 73%
Fulham 73%
Sunderland 67%
West Brom 67%
West Ham 66%
