    Football tribes - Guardian infographic

    Where do the happiest, least stressed, most satisfied Londoners live? What’s the busiest station? Do football fans support their local team? These questions and more are explored by James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti’s London: The Information Capital, published by Particular Books on 30 October


    based on twitter hashtags during the whole of last season (aug - may). QPR are the dark green color.
    Interesting. Never knew how vast the palace following are.

    What about your little square of london? discuss

          I think the density of the area also has to do with it. Don't know how they decide what colour the square goes it's easier to get that in south London where it's more sparsely populated.

              And one of the biggest area wise.

              Anyway it says on there that the team with the most tweets get the square and each square is 500m x 500m. If we're second even by having 1 tweet less we get nothing to show for it.

                      the more i think about it (and try to reason it), my logic rests on the guess that most likely the average chelsea supporter is a glory hunter...
                      and as such, they probably like the frequent attention wh0ring tweet now and then.

                      "look at me, im in my £90 seat at #chelsea"
                      etc etc

                      reckon, lot of us down in W12 arent so keen on telling digital friends that were down at the football

                              If we didn't have Barton's busy fingers I doubt we'd register at all - frankly, I reckon you could overlay that map with how many virgins support each club and it'd look the same.
