There has been so many empt seats around loads of premiership grounds even in quite big matches. Is it correct that attendances are down on last year? Im quite suprised matches like West Brom v Birmingham had 7,000 empty seats and its a local derby, there have been loads more games teams like Man City, Middlesborough, Sunderland, Wigan, Bolton, Villa, and Fuhlam coming nowhere near to filling there grounds. What is the reason for such low attendances this season?

The league's not competative.
Well personally I wouldn't support a Premiership team because I object to the wages that the players are paid.
I don't care enough to argue about it.
A shame really.
It costs me £20 a month to get as much Sky football as you could shake a big stick at. I'd get 70 minutes of Premiershit football for the same price, and that's before I start paying for children. I prefer watching live games, but I remember Bradford City charging £27 for the big games when we were in the Premiershit, and I doubt the prices have come down much.
That, and there are a lot of clubs in the Premiershit who have stadium capacities far in excess of what their regular "hardcore" attendance is, or will ever be.
Me neither.
I can't remember exactly where I read this but haven't the Championship prices gone up slightly since last season?
Admittedly, the tickets are expensive...
That's quite alot considering that, me, my dad & uncle all went to a Plymouth Argyle home game last season which cost us just over £60 for the three of us...
Yeah...
Is there any reason why on some occasions, some teams will let kids watch the game for a quid?
It fills the ground when the home game is against someone crap.
Better to have them in the ground, earning some money for the seat, and get them buying pies and programmes.
A lot of people can't be bothered with football these days. Atmospheres are usually placid, tickets are pricey and it's less of a social convention.
Price of one adult and one child ticket for next home game (excluding booking fees):
Chelsea - £90
Birmingham - £60.50
Portsmouth - £52
Everton - £46
Bolton - £26
Real Madrid - £28.60
Crawley Town - £24
Hereford - £22
Juventus - £20.70
Woking - £19
Bayern Munich - £12.40
Schalke - £9.30
They can't exactly claim to be offering great entertainment can they?
Really the Premiership is ridiculous, it will be good for the game if attendances collapse, it will force clubs to cut their prices and the drop in revenue will mean plyers pay will have to fall.
Football players are scum frankly, seeing a few of them forced to take paycuts would be nice..........
You're joking, right?
