Can I have some quick answers to the question:
How many Stoke City supporters are there worldwide?
I'm trying to help someone out.
I said 50-60,000 but I haven't got a clue to be honest.

And wasnt you on about research earlier? Surely for someone doing media studies, you should do your research before giving any estimations whatsoever?
Always check out your sources first, it stops you from looking stupid later.

I told him it was a rough estimate based on Wembley and Mill Stad crowds, and I'd try and get a sensible figure from people that would know better than me.

Almost impossible to answer isn't it Pricey? Problem is - how do you define a supporter.
Does it have to be someone who has watched a live match at some time in their lives.
Does it have to be someone who attends matches whenever they can.
Or does it include those who have never seen them play but watches out for their results.
Your figure of 50k - 60k probably is about the right order of magnitude for people who have seen at least one live match at some time or other.

That's probably abotu right Pricey if we count how many there are in Stoke and then times it by the number of cities in the world we'd have quite a few!

Many years ago there was a Stoke City Supporters club here in Oz, and I think at last count there was over 150 members. But that's ten years ago. The guy who ran it ended up in the nick and I think it ran out of puff. From all accounts, the best place for him ( but I'm not judging if he's reading this). The estimates of Stoke fans in Australia is somewhere between 2,800 to 3,150 fans at present.
That's based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics EF5-8ak research carried out for a leading English football magazine in 1999.
Hope that helps.

12,000 supporters i'd say, those who go every week.
The rest are fans.
