Supporters:
Aalesund: The main supporters group is known as Stormen ("The Storm"), and has about 2000 members. Most of these are young people. Aalesund's supporters are commonly known as the most enthusiastic in Norway, with almost 12.000 people from the town of 40.000 watching every home match since the club's popularity boom in 2002, when it secured a place in the top league for the first time. In 2003, away against rivals Molde, over 7000 Aalesund supporters dominated the 12.000 capacity stadium!
Bodø/Glimt: Den Gule Horde ("The Yellow Horde") has about 600 members, occupying parts of the main stand at Aspmyra Stadion. In 1975, 12.041 people watched the quarter final in the cup aagisnt Viking, still the largest attendance at a football event in northern Norway. Today, however, the club mostly sells out half of its 7.400 capacity stadium.
Brann: Bergen is Norway's second largest city, with about 250.000 inhabitants. The football club Brann is an important part of life for many Bergensers, with the club regularly selling out its 18.000 capacity stadium. The club's re3cord, however, comes from a time when a larger amount of terraces was allowed: 24.800 against Fredrikstad in 1961. The main group, Bataljonen ("The Batallion") is known for its tifos.
Fredrikstad: The supporters group is called Plankehaugen ("The pile of wood") because Fredrikstad was a major port for timber in the past. The group was established in 1999, and it has its own terracing section at Fredrikstad's 13.300 capacity stadium. Fredrikstad's supporters are known for travelling in thousands around Østlandet (south east Norway) to support their team.
Lillestrøm: Although Lillestrøm is a small Oslo suburb, the club has support also in other suburbs. Overall, the supporters group, Kanarifansen ("The Canary Fans") has about 5.000 members, Their fans are known for using loud drums at their matches, and many of Lillestrøm's fans' chants are modified English chants.
Lyn: For centuries, there has existed an upper-class western part of Oslo and a working class eastern part. Lyn are from West Oslo, and their support is no where near as good as that of city rivals Vålerenga, from East Oslo. The supporters club, Bastionen ("The Bastion") has about 2000 members, but still the club rarely manages to sell more than 3-4.000 tickets (including away supporters) at Ullevaal Stadion, the 25.000 capacity stadium they share with Vålerenga.
Molde: Molde have a long history in Norway's top division, and in 1998 a local businessman helped them build a 11.167 capacity stadium. Regular attendances are between 3.-7.000 people, despite having almost 120.000 people in Molde's influence zone.
Odd Grenland: Odd's stadium is quite new (finished 2007) and it has a capacity of 13.300. The supporters group, though, only has about 900 members, and the club struggles even selling half of the stadium's capacity.
Odd Grenland: In 1985, Rosenborg has 28.569 spectators at their last, title-deciding home match. Today, however, Lerkendal Stadion seats 21.166 people, but the club rarely sells more than 15.-17.000 places. Before 2009, he supporters club, Kjernen ("The Core") switched from the lower part of one end behind a goal, to the higher part behind the other, making the supporters easier to hear around the stadium.
Odd Grenland: Sandefjord is a vvery new club, founded in 1998. In 2006 they reached Tippeligaen for the first time, and their new stadium has a capacity of 9.000 The club rarely sells out half of these, though. The supporters are called Blåhvalane ("The Blue Whales"), because the club's main colour is blue and there were a lot of whales living outside the town ine arlier years.
Stabæk: Stabæk were controversial when they bought an all-covered stadium, Telenor Arena (seats 15.000) before 2009. At their old, Olympics-like stadium they rarely sold over 5.000 places for a match, but now seeing 8.-10.000 people inside the stadium isn't rare. The main supporters club is simply called Stabæk Support. Stabæk are from Bærum, a rich Oslo suburb known for the amount of money most of the inhabitants have. Stabæk's supporters have improved a lot since the club reached Tippeligaen for the first time in 1998, though.
Start: Start is the main club of Sørlandet, Norway's southernmost coastal strip, centred around the town of Kristiansand. Start have many casual fans in neighbouring towns like Mandal, Flekkefjord and Risør, but since opening a new stadium, Sør Arena, before 2008, they've struggled with attracting fans to the stadium. The stadium seats 15.000 people, but it's quite rare to see more than about 5.000 of these being sold. The supporters club is called menigheden ("The congregation", i.e. a Christian congregation), because Sørlandet is Norway's "bible belt". There are aoung 500 of these organized supporters.
Strømsgodset: In and around Drammen, Strømsgodset's city, there lives about 200.000 people, but few of these are ready on match day. Strømsgodset has a long history in Tippeligaen, but it doesn't happen often that they sell out more than about half of their 8.500 capacity stadium. The supporters club is called Godsetunionen ("The Godset Union"), because "Godset" is the club's nickname.
Tromsø: Tromsø is Tippeligaen's northernmost club, with about 150.000 people living in and around the city. Altheim Stadion seats about 7.500 people, but most of the time less than 5.000 of these are sold on a match day. the supporters club is named Isberget ("The Ice Berg"), because of Tromsø's harsh climate. It has almost 600 members.
Viking: Viking, from the town of Stavanger (almost 200.000 people in the metro area) in the south west, and it' one of Norway's oldest clubs (founded 1899). Their stadium (16.600) is quite new, opened in 2004. It's rarely sold out, though, except at the derby against Brann. At the moment, 12.-15.000 people is the norm.
Vålerenga: The traditional "people's club" in Oslo, from the east of the city. The supporters club, Klanen ("The clan"), is by far the largest in Norway, with about 10.000 members. Nowadays, however, for regular matches, the club rarely sells out more than 10.000 seats at the 25.000 capacity Ullevaal Stadion. One reason for this may be that the stadium is located quite a few miles away from the homes of most Vålerenga supporters.
