Found a very cool list on the skyscrapercity forum just now - made very diligently through transfermarket.de data.
our 'big 4' is in the top 20, but really all four should be higher
if we did the following the top 4 teams would be TS, PP, SS and Sepahan (in that order
)
- every game played during Iranian weekend - Thursday night or Friday
- cheaper tickets in line with inflation
- not every single game broadcast live FFS - have a premier league style rule where the games have to be spread out on tv - not every single PP or SS game broadcast
