Some interesting stuff in there, like Derby and Reading doing extremely well

Take that Liverpool!

Well done to Derby and co. for the turnouts! I noticed in recent months poor crowds at premership matches allright, particularly Middlesborough.

I wonder, relative to population size, what city with a premier league side has the best attendances? (i.e % of population...)

Id say that would be a moot point, because the bigger teams have a large supply of foreign fans who travel to matches.

Good point! I failed to consider the various factors effecting the outcome.:(

Ok, i appoint you to figure it out, go do a survey at each home ground, ignore the foreign fans and report back to me.

That is all.:D

I expected Middlesbrough to be last. Not far off though.

Its interesting to note that the Bundesliga has the highest average attendances than any other league in the world.

bring back terraces!

The average attendance at Elland Road this season is 25,110, better than every Championship and 6 Premier League sides. The capacity is 40,204, which means the stadium is 62.4% full on average. Not bad for the 3rd division.

No but it's what you'd expect from a club the size of Leeds .

shane86

If the Pool are only 95% full why do they want a bigger stadium? Presumably the red section sells out every week and in Manchester you would have more tourists going to see any game, filling out the emptys in the away sections, whereas I doubt Liverpool gets many foreign tourists bar the Irish.

Derby.....****.....they have spirit and commitment, you have to give them that Do they even bring a big travelling crowd down south I wonder?

therecklessone

Don't know how true this is, but I've been told both Spurs and Arsenal (probably others as well) include all season ticket seats (regardless of whether the holder attends or not) in their attendance figures.

True. We have however introduced the ticket registration scheme this season, where st holders can sell back their seats, and so far it appears to have been a huge success.

Mr. Presentable

They all do. Now, who claims the most season ticket sales?

Yawn ..

A day tripper is a day tripper no ? Liverpool are globally on a par with United which would equate to similar amout of 'tourists' which would include Irish/Asian yadda yadda yadda .Your opinion seems biased a bit.

:rolleyes:

Mr. Presentable

An odd one from Serie A. The club with the highest attendance as a percentage of capacity.

Liverpool are nowhere near Utd on a global scale, and if anything, thats a compliment to Utd.

Do they? We must have been one of the last to introduce it then.

Eh, no?

Liverpool gets Irish lads on the piss, and footie fans from Spain and Norway. Liverpool is, from what Ive heard, a dirty, blackened, smokey skangery city, all in all a kip only redeemed by a great nightlife. Alot like Glasgow really. I love Glasgow, but apart from the savage clubs and the crazy cnuts who attend them, it is a worn out post industrial smoke damaged dump, apart from the main shopping area (Argylle Street I think it was, nice spot. But the rest....). Which is why all the yanks etc etc go to Edinburgh rather than Glasgow. Edinburgh has history, culture, sights. So does Manchester. Liverpool and Glasgow are big factory towns with good clubs and mental women, and not a whole lot else. Perfect lads weekend destinations, not really the type of place yanks want to bring the wife and kids to.

Ill take industrial and slutty thanks

maybe you should actually visit places instead of just going on an outdated stereotype? just an idea.

Well I can vouch for him.

I was over to Anfield about 4 years ago for a game and the city did seem like a dump, particularly the general area that surrounded the ground. I was pretty shocked tbh with the amount of boarded up houses and poverty that surrounded one of Europe's richest clubs.

Very similar to parts of Belfast.

Mr Alan

i agree the area around the ground is not the nicest, but one of the main reasons for the boarded up houses is the fact that that whole area is due to be redeveloped.

the city itself is great. scummy parts, same as dublin and any other city imo.

Fair enough, I didn't get to see all aspects of the city.

Charlie

Going on this the sooner the Stanley Park regeneration happens, the better.

We've had that since start of last season, I presume they only count those the once (i.e. once resold they aren't included in the ST numbers)?

DubDani

Because someone mentioned the Bundesliga.

AFAIK the Bundesliga has been the most visited european league in the last 7 years. The average attendances have been just below 40000 per game so far this season. This is quite surprising as last year 2 teams with big stadiums and a huge fanbase (Cologne and Moenchengladbach) were relegated from the bundesliga, and three teams with quite small stadiums and even smaller fanbases were promoted to the bundesliaga.

One reason especially compared to the Premier League is that the ticket prices are much lower. For example the most expensive ticket in the Allianz Arena is only around 60 Euro. A lot of tickets are in the region of 15-25 Euro.

01 Bayer Leverkusen 269.500 12 22.458 22.500 99.8%
02 FC Schalke 04 797.200 13 61.323 61.482 99.7%

05 Werder Bremen 521.731 13 40.133 43.087 93.1%
06 Bayern München 828.000 12 69.000 74.400 92.7%
07 Borussia Dortmund 892.946 12 74.412 80.708 92.2%
