Maybe this can be explained by the fact that they have chairs empty to space out home and away fans? Happens in Swansea at least so almost impossible to have 100% attendance even if sold out
I'm assuming that lots of people buy season tickets when they're in the prem because they're the cheapest in the league and use them to watch games against the big 6 then dont go to any other games. Same thing happened with Watford when they were in the prem
If you have a capacity of 20,000 that's two thousand empty seats. If it's 60,000 that's six thousand. People notice that City doesn't fill their ground with just a few percent, ten percent is far worse.
The trouble with stuff like this, though, is that clubs report their attendances differently. Arsenal, for example, report tickets sold as attended, regardless of whether they actually pass the gates, so it's heavily inflated. I'm inclined to believe that West Ham and Everton are high, though probably not as high as this shows. Their fanbases are pretty loyal.
The reason why the Etihad is called emptyhad is because away fans always go home early because their team gets slaughtered, and troll accounts always highlight the empty part of their seats The one from the away supporter seat.
Swear none of yall watch the Documentaries. Watch the Game Play. Yall just watch and believe everything Media tells you. Sometimes its factual but most times yall start believing banter. From a City fan; only when we are leading or scoring the fans celebrate thats the main problem. I hope we as a club and fans can fix that. But so far im the only one who would celebrate louder than my TV. Imagine a City with the Audience like Madrid or Liverpool. Everytime i watch a city game its like watching golf.
@MCFC Reacts Right and why do you think Man City’s fan base has grown more than ever before after 2008? Meanwhile United have been in the dirt since 2014 and we’re still getting insane amounts of fans.
By fanbase bornemouth are a league 1 or maybe even league 2 club, its just the eddie howe miracle that got them to the prem, where they stayed for long enough to financially fortify
It's amazing how in England all the teams always gets full theirs stadium. Here in Argentina just River Plate and Boca Juniors can inside in theirs stadium a lot of people. The other clubs just can get 50%,60% of atendace
The difference is with city is that they buy the empty tickets to pump up the attendance numbers. You can see the empty seats when you watch them. There's plenty
I mean the thing about United is there is always someone, either a tourist or another fan, who is desperate to get a ticket because of how popular the club is. My guess is that the people who are not going are just being replaced, it's like capitalism and employment.
It depends on seating being lost due to separation of home and away fans. Plus some clubs stated capacity is seats sold, not seats used. So Man Utd for example count all the season ticket holders as being there when they may not.
the issue with Man U is that the local fans hate the glazers but because their clubs so MASSIVE it just means more tourist fans get to buy seats, great for those foreign fans not great for local fans who are angry with their leadership group and cant do anything about it
as an american who does not know the premier league or the map, is liverpool and everton's stadiums like less than a km apart or was that some quirk of the map. they seemed really close. like way closer than you would expect 2 huge ass stadiums to be.
These will be the official attendances, not the actual attendances, and usually go off ticket sales. If a season ticket holder doesn't show up, they're still classed as being there for official attendances. A stadium can look fuller for an FA Cup match but have a lower official attendance than a league match with less people there, because the away team gets 45% of the gate. If you declare a larger attendance than you have for an FA Cup match, you end up giving a larger share than you should, but that isn't the case with league matches.
96.9% seats filled for 14th place makes the video hardly worth it. Thats really really high attendance guys especially in the context of world sport. Some are barely 50% at one of the leading sporting codes here in Australia
I love when noone chanted this when they got battered 6-1 inside of 70 minutes and the only empty seats were of mancunians. Sit down and watch the kings win the EPL again 5/6
I just want to say that Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the second biggest stadium in the Premier League and the tickets to visit are the most expensive of all the teams. (Don't pick up the topic of them not having trophies in another one that has nothing to do with this one.)
@@liamjohnson7887 that's for the glazers. United fans are loyal to the club, they want to symbolise glazers out by leaving half way rather than at the start.
Bournemouth are a League One/ League Two level sized club really punching above their weight, to not even come close to filling an 11,000 seater stadium in the Prem is mad
It’s not we can’t fill it, it’s season ticket holders not going to the game, with a system renewal of season tickets don’t cost much so people do it automatically, if we didn’t have any season ticket holders we could fill 20/25k
The think people don’t think 1 empty seat for us is a much more percentage of the ground than United ect we probably have less empty seats than some of the big clubs but lower percentage
Yeah but you have to take in the account of people a stadium can fill. For example the Camp Nou that has a capacity of roughly 100k people, 60% of that is 60k people. If you compare it with lets say the Ethiad that has a capacity of roughly 55k people, and the say that it has an average attendance of 90% thats only 50k people. TL;DR The point im making is percentage is useless unless the stadiums have the same sitting capacity
Except this doesnt account for different stadium sizes. For example even though Man City are 14th on this list, 96.9% of 53,400 (51744) is still significantly more than the maximum capacity of 13/20 premier league clubs (for example its over 10000 more people that stamford bridge), which would actually put them around 7th in terms of turnout, and its the same with other clubs with big stadiums like tottenham, utd, newcastle, west ham, etc etc.
There might be people at the etihad, but there is no life there. If you compare the atmosphere at the etihad to most other pl clubs the ManCity crowd is the most silent of all
It’s complete nonsense. If you ever watch West Ham you see empty seats every time. A few years ago the BBC reported that West Ham had inflated their official attendance numbers by 12,000 every game - their actual figures then were around 40,000
I’m ngl if Man U fans stop gong to games it will still fill up with people from around the world. I’m American and Arsenal fan and can’t tell you how fast I’d take a trip to see Old Trafford in person
Being a hammer I get tickets when one off my mate’s can’t make a game. People used to say we will never fill the stadium, I think it’s because they do good deals for kids in so called lesser games ⚒️
Man City give charity seats to Sunday league and it’s fills 20% of there stadium and Liverpool get there tickets bought by people who try to resale them for ridiculous prices
But how? Anfield at 98.4% attendance, means on every game there are about 1000 seats empty??? And still its basically impossible to get tickets, it makes no sense. How are these statistics made?
Pretty sad when rival fans all they can go at is eh eh empty seats , city were getting nearly 30,000 in Div 2 do you’re research African football experts
That's what I'm betting. No other reason why a city of half a million people cannot fill up an 11k capacity stadium in the biggest football league in the world.
I don’t understand how Liverpool isn’t top - as they sell out every premier league game - we know this because no one can get tickets - so what’s going on here ?
