Serie A Attendence

Is that low or high?

I'm not sure... I know Napoli could regurlarly pull 40,000 in Serie A and Fiorentina 30,000. But neither are in Serie A so . . . Bari has great support too, I think. Hmm. I dunno.

 

Attendence is lower than usual because ticket prices are high and have been on the increase for the past few years!

 

The more interesting stat would be attendance as a percentage of capacity. Como probably sold out every game and still ranked last in this table. On the other hand, Torino's attendance in Delle Alpi is pitiful. Just like their team ....

 

No offense ma'am... but unlike Juve Torino used to fill up delle alpi pretty good in their prime (not the 50's, more like the early 90's). They still are the biggest club in Torino as far as I know. Although that 13.000 figure is pitiful.

Torrrrroooooooo Torrrroooooooo. Guess not.

Didn't Torino play like 4 or 5 matches in a nuetral stadium at the end of the season? That would kill attendance, me thinks.

 

Frankly, that number surprised me because I know Torino has a significant following. Supposedly, 50,000 Torino supporters marched in support of the club the week after they were mathematically relegated. I can only guess that the low turn-outs were in protest of the team's awfulness (or management's ineptness in turning things around or something).

 

Ah, yes - how could we forget. Thought it was only 3 games, but it may have been more. Still, figure the place was sold out for the derby and probably close to it for the games with Milan and Inter. So I still think 13K is pretty puny.

 

Here's a link with more information - change since last season - highest attendance, etc. Shows only 32K as the max for Torino, which surprises me. I thought they'd sell out for sure against Juve.
