Average Attendance

in General Charlton
Some of you mighta seen this on the bbc already but http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22541130 . Average attendance pretty much on par with Swansea and Wigan, a hell of a lot higher than millwall, and over a thousand more than palace.

Well done all I reckon!

    Just been reading that Sam. Shows that we were 40th, across the major European leagues, in terms of average attendance last season, which is pretty impressive.

    I appreciate we will get the issue of "ghost" fans, which inflate numbers, but all clubs do this to a greater or lesser extent and I think this table looks pretty good for us. Not a great leap required either to rise quite a few places up the table.

    Interesting stuff. Do we feature as any team's lowest home gate? I know Hull City's was against Millwall (smirks)

    Fair play to Sheffield United, above us despite still being in L1 and not having a great season. Also shows just what a small side Yeovil are.

    Rangers average is absolutely incredible.

    If I counted correctly for 2012/13 we are the 29th best supported club in England. Counting all English leagues we finished in 29th place!

    No surprises there, they're one of the top 5 best supported clubs in Britain.

    The table only lists selected European teams, so we musn't get carried away! For example Hamburg is not listed, but will have had an average attendance much higher than ours.

    That said, I think being 29th in England is a good result, and certainly challenges the assumption many people make that we are a 'small club'.

    We're definitely not 40th across europe, for a start there are 27 German sides with a higher average than us
