Thanks for the explanation, but on one thing you said. "Milan and Inter get average attendances just under the 60k mark". According to the stats, this season Inter average 49k and Milan 41k.

Village Idiot Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 To be completely honest take out Barça and Madrid and La Liga's attendances are pretty poor. You have some mid-lower table teams with averages of 50%, disgraceful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Indeed, I don't know the situation in England/Italy, but in Spain the outlawing of terraces was a big hit. A lot of people that bought those just can't afford to buy tickets/STs at today's prices. Clubs have also figured out they end up making more money selling less seats at higher prices too.

Guest Heneage Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 todays financial situation kind of keeps people out of the games as well, it's not cheap to go to a game. I`m amazed that a shithole like Napoli gets the attandence they get wonder what Baris avarage attandence is, kez? I've not it to hand, and my long paragraph was more applicable to seasons gone by than this, but like I say it's part of the problem, small clubs with small fanbases, lots of Wigans in the top flight doesn't help.

Village Idiot Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 "Calcio" is pretty common usage in Spain when talking about Italian footie. What is more, nobody talks about "Serie A", just "El Calcio". What would be great is to be able to get average occupancy %. For example La Liga has quite a few clubs around or under 50%, which is a disgrace, and you'd be hard pressed to find any club over 75% of their stadium. So much plastic on display at some games! It needs a bit of number crunching and I'm not that interested though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also suprising that Genoa get more through the door than Samp. Genoa always gets more attendance than Samp, apart from when they were in second division. Juve's problem is that most of their supporters are not from Turin, so although they moved to a smaller stadium they still can't have it full or close to it. And the awful season they're having doesn't help either of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
