Wow Italian attendances have come back hard from 10 years ago
and this is without privately owned stadiums, imagine if each club had their own, with good visibility, decent public transport connections etc.
Been imagining it for years.
Should be called Giuseppe Meazza for AC Milan right?
Just a note, German clubs report tickets sold, not actual attendance. I don’t know about Spain or Italy, but English clubs report how many people actually came rather than how many tickets were sold.
its attendance in Madrid. which shows perfectly how fucked the ticketing system is. you can’t buy a ticket as a Madridista a week before game because of 40k queue on website, in 20 minutes they are sold out because socios are buying pretty much everything to sell it on 3rd party websites. i was in madrid 2 weeks ago and getting tickets officially was the most depressing and dreadful experience i’ve ever had
They have started to ban that practise in England and makes it much fairer to get in.
Problem in Spain is that if the Presidents do this then they will loose the next election.
Another thing to note about German clubs is their stadiums fit more people in due to standing. This is banned in most other countries and would drastically reduce the average attendance number at all of these clubs.
In Spain is actual attendance.
That’s actually not ture English clubs use tickets sold.
The difference is German match tickets are so much cheaper and their public transport is A LOT cheaper. (They own our railways companies and use the profits to subsides there own ticket prices for trains).
(They own our railways companies and use the profits to subsides there own ticket prices for trains).
DB is subsidized by goverment with billions annually, Abellio the dutch company, that runs trains in scottland also runs trains in germany. This sounds like a conspirency theory to me, would you mind providing a source for it?
Abellio left the uk market and scotrail is now run by the scottish government and their other stuff is now a uk based company.
so did DB, cuz they sold uk arriva business to a us investment fund, now lets hope, that german newspapers don’t start asking for refunds on the 1,5 bullion loss they made on that, cuz german taxpayers and consumers paid for it…
English clubs use tickets sold too. I went to Arsenal vs Fulham a few years ago and the stadium was maybe 75% full, yet Arsenal announced the attendance was 59k or something. It was laughably obviously false.
Would the list be different if it wasn’t the top 5 leagues? I can’t imagine any teams beating this outside of the top 5?
It would be more interesting as a percentage of attendance vs max capacity.
This way, it’s just big teams with bigger stadia. There’s going to be “smaller” teams with max capacity every match that don’t get the credit because they just have less seats.
United aren’t allowed to sell over 74K seats anyway.
Being on the waiting list for season tickets really sucks lol

Would it be more balanced to use percentages, or would that skew it in favour of smaller clubs with easier to fill stadiums?
College football…
Hold my beer
For 7 hours
Are these the 5 biggest stadiums for a club side?
I’m glad they aren’t made like college stadiums in the USA.
Schalke and Hamburg are on 11 and 14 lol
Top 5 supported clubs outside the top flights
- Schalke
- Hamburg
- Hertha
- Kaiserslautern
- Sunderland
You Mackems are a class lot
I was at the FA cup game at your place last season. Nearly died celebrating that offside goal at the end.
Hope you had a nice away day. I was watching it with my mate who’s a Sunderland fan
Good chance we go up if Stewart doesn’t get injured that game.
Some clubs in Serie B could be higher like Palermo or Sampdoria or Bari but a lot of people don’t bother going to the stadium it it’s not Serie A or a promotion playoff, it’s kinda sad because half of them support juve/inter/milan instead of their local club
…so they couldnt be higher?
Yeah like we could easily say the same for the Top 5 supported clubs outside the top flights.
If their stadiums would simply be bigger they could have a even higher attendance. I would even throw my club in the ring and say, if Cologne had a stadium with 60k+ capacity, we would also be in that list.
😭😭Exactly. they could be higher but they aren’t so they’re not…
They merely failed to get a higher ranking
If my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bike
The whole point is that they aren’t in the top flight but still get very large crowds. Its a good metric of how loyal the support is.
Cheers Geoff
Ha Ho He!
Nur der HSV.
Wir sehen uns in 2 Wochen zum Pokal :) Ich liebe diese zweite Liga, weiß gar nicht, ob man wirklich aufsteigen möchte, die Stimmung ist echt immer fantastisch.
Euer Jürgen!
Top 5 supported second tier clubs in top 5 league nations. Weird stat.
Its top 5 supported clubs in world who aren’t in the top league of their country. It’s a weird stat but since '73 it’s all we have to be proud of.
Seeing a match at Westfalenstadion is on my bucket list
And then you watch a match of Terzicball and question all the decisions in your life that lead you to watch that game.
I went for the 2001 Uefa Cup final. However it wasn’t as bit as it is now back then.
Still a boss stadium though.
I’ve only seen one but it was quite an iconic match
you can for like 20 bucks, better seats are of course more but anyway. Plus Dortmund isnt that far from cities like Amsterdam (2 hrs), Bruxelles (3 hours), Hamburg (3 hours), Bruges (ok 4 hrs is a lot). So you could maybe combine it with some other bucket list thing you might wanna do
I feel like this should be in percentages rather than numbers
Hopefully camp Nou will be back next year
