Nice article by the club. Breaks it down a bit more.
It is a very well-attended league. Compare it to the French Ligue 2, which had a total of just 3.24 million this season, albeit with 20 teams. But average gate was 8,535. Pathétique!
Germany's 2.Bundesliga had 8.9m total, but it's only 20 teams, so their average was 29K (so better than the Champ, which EFL don't mention). Heavily skewed by Schalke, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin, who all average over 50K (Schalke get 61K every week).
We’re also starting to show that potentially we’re a sleeping giant. I feel if we get going early next season, that arena is going to be packed week in week out
On hearing today that another, previous corporate client , has pulled out because of the price hike .
It might well be that the “ top shelf “ is empty , for a good few games unfortunately .

Nice one Hucks. Crucial is the ‘get going early’, not really happened last few seasons due to one thing or the other. A kind draw would be nice, like missing Preston in the first 10 games!
