Does anyone have the average home attendance figures for the Argentine soccer clubs this season? It's hard to find the figures for some reason, earlier seasons are easy to find though.
According to CONMEBOL, the Boca Juniors are the only Argentine club this year with an average home attendance for domestic league games above 30,000. Boca Juniors, Argentina: 32,197 Source: http://www.larojadeportes.cl/por-lejos-la-u-es-el-club-con-mas-promedio-de-publico-en-chile/
That's for 2016... but even then, what is their source? The article claims to get their information from a Twitter account that's suspended. Doesn't seem too reliable if you ask me...
2016–17 Argentine Primera División average home attendances: Boca Juniors 45,000 River Plate 37,000 Rosario Central 35,000 Atlético Tucumán 26,000 Independiente 25,000 Newell's Old Boys 25,000 Colón 25,000 Talleres 25,000 Belgrano 23,000 Estudiantes 20,000 Racing Club 20,000 San Lorenzo 18,000 CA Lanús 17,000 Godoy Cruz 16,000 Huracán 15,000 Unión 15,000 GELP 12,000 CA Temperley 11,000 Vélez Sarsfield 10,000 San Martín 10,000 Defensa y Justicia 10,000 Club Olimpo 10,000 Tigre 8,000 Quilmes AC 7,000 Aldosivi 7,000 Patronato 6,000 Banfield 6,000 Sarmiento 5,000 Atlético de Rafaela 3,000 Arsenal de Sarandí 2,000
Compared with the Brazilian league: 1 Palmeiras 32,000 2 Corinthians 28,000 3 Internacional 26,000 4 Flamengo 24,000 5 São Paulo 22,000 6 Grêmio 21,000 7 Cruzeiro 20,000 8 Atlético Mineiro 19,000 9 Sport 16,000 10 Atlético Paranaense 15,000 11 Vitória 13,000 12 Santos 11,000 13 Coritiba 9,000 14 Santa Cruz 9,000 15 Fluminense 9,000 16 Chapecoense 7,000 17 Botafogo 7,000 18 Figueirense 7,000 19 Ponte Preta 5,000 20 América Mineiro 4,000
Are you just making this number up? River, I know for a fact, had 45,000 season ticket holders (I was one of them) last season, yet you claim our average attendance was 37,000?
