Is it because people have heard of the place but don't know where it is?
A small club with shit support, but in the Prem.

So you are saying they need a bigger stadium? Still don't get the Wigan thing though as they clearly don't need a bigger one?![]()

Swansea Town are now known as 'Welsh Wigan' due to their very poor away following, their Rugby stadium and their failure to sell out many many games even though they are in a league far too big for them. It's generally as they feel they are big club and now 'bigging up' the reserve team trophy they are in the final of tomorrow as a 'major trophy'![]()

If QPR had a 20,000 seater stadium then they would. If Wigan only just got promoted to the Prem then they would. If Swansea were in the Prem for as long as Wigan and were in a relegation battle every year then Swansea would get the same crowds as Wigan.
Hence Welsh Wigan.

But you could say if Swansea had 30,000 stadium they would sell out.
If Swansea were in the champions league they would get similar crowds to Real Madrid
If Swansea were in the Prem for as long as man united and had a big enough stadium they would be getting 60k sell outs.
- it's just made up conjecture based on nothing. For that reason, I'm out.

To say their attendances are similar to a club who never sells out their stadium just because they are a similar sized stadium is like saying Cardiff are the Welsh Brighton (even that is stretching it as Brighton have a higher ave attendance).
