But way more games in the Championship than La Liga.  A fair comparison would be average attendance per game.

Bundesliga -
Average: 41,518; High: 81,360; Low: 13,521

PL -
Average: 35,821; High: 75,397; Low: 10,890

La Liga -
Average: 27,856; High: 95,961; Low: 3,576

Serie A -
Average: 22,047; High: 78,328; Low: 510

Ligue 1 -
Average: 21,099; High: 65,252; Low: 4,319

FLC -
Average: 20,125; High: 52,301; Low: 3,725

Eredivisie -
Average: 19,094; High: 51,998; Low: 3,200


Think with the size of some clubs, the top leagues are always going to have higher average attendance. I'm not sure it tells us a great deal. La Liga and Serie A's lowest attendance being lower than the FLC is interesting though.

France and Italy scraping by with a meager extra 1k & 2k per game is fairly telling too.

Its hard to say, yes i think the total figures do exaggerate the attendances, but on the other hand the fact that there are quite a few extra games also works as a detriment to the FLC.

If we had just 19 home games mostly Saturdays our attendance would probably be higher, likewise the rest of the division. If we have Milwall at home on a cold tuesday night in january followed by villa at home the following saturday you know the attendance will be affected by that scenario.

Probably evened out by Burton.

Could argue Burton help average that out.

They were apparently playing in a stadium the next town over, as their stadium didn't meet Serie A regulations so was having work done. Their other 2 games there got 821 and 522.

Empoli did record an attendance of 3,217 though - so their 'proper' lowest is still lower than FLC.
