David Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I know what you've all been thinking, where would our average attendance put us in top flight leagues across Europe right? Well here's the answer. Source of numbers transfermarkt. Derby's average attendance was 29,042 in 16/17 Premier League - 13th La Liga - 8th Bundesliga - 12th Serie A - 6th Eredivisie - 4th Ligue 1 - 5th 116 Clubs in total across those 6 leagues. Derby would be 48th in this pointless, diddly squat attendance stats topic. *Please note I am aware of more football leagues across Europe and no offence is intended to countries such as Belgium who have lovely beer and chocolate, but your football is a bit duff and Derby would top your league.

If we extended the ground to 42,000 and got the same % attendance we'd get 36,370 - Where would that put us? Speculating on Uncle Mel's next move should we ever manage to land Premier League security... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby 88.3% Have we had a reduction in capacity then because of the move to the South Stand then? I hadn't really considered the extra black stripe I thought our capacity was 33,597 - Which would give us 86.44% - Still decent but not as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't, put that one down to twitter BS. Thats what set me down this path, couldn't find anywhere that gave just the away fan figures.

WestKentRam Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Our attendance figures include all season ticket holders even if they don't go to the match as per Arsenal with their famed empty seats recently with the official attendance of near ground capacity. If other clubs do the same then it's fair enough to compare, otherwise it's not quite comparing like with like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Attendance" = number of tickets sold/distributed for each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
