Arsenal were the best-supported club in the country from 1929/30 to 1937/38 inclusive before Aston Villa topped the chart in the final pre-War season (1938/39). After the War, it was Newcastle (1946/47 to 1948/49), Tottenham (1949/50 to 1951/52), Arsenal (1952/53 and 1953/54), Chelsea (1954/55), Everton (1955/56) and then Manchester United (1956/57 to 1958/59).

Since as far back as 1900, only nine clubs have ever topped the attendance charts:

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Chelsea
Everton
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur
impressive stats, thanks.


Despite their history, Chelsea only have the tenth largest stadium in England at 41,631. Newcastle , Sunderland and Villa are all bigger grounds. Only West Ham aren't in your list but now have a stadium larger than Chelsea.

Chelsea are certainly in the top ten historically, but then so are Villa.

Read into that whatever you want. It not relevant to Cardiff in any way, and I'm not sure why Sludge thinks it is.
