Well I’m not surpried, fan culture is insane in Germany and with massive, classic Bundesliga clubs like Hamburg, Nurnberg, Hannover, Dusseldorf etc, the numbers are guaranteed to be high.
Hannover and Düsseldorf??? mentioned but not us is crazy
Etc, Kaiserslautern just didn’t come to mind at the moment, I know you are a massive club
Og Klose club?
And all that although not one of your reps misses a chance to pronounce how devastating your relegation was „for the region“.
Always been a fan of 1. FUCK since that UEFA Cup tie back in 92/93. Shame what’s happened to your club (and ours) since those days.
Yeah. Good old fiscal fuckery. Writing a big check that couldn’t be cashed to renovate their stadium for the 2006 World Cup (Fritz Walter Stadion). Ever since that move they have not been the same.
Not mentioning Schalke which in fact is amongst the top ten clubs with the most members in the world is the real craziness
There’s too many big clubs in 2.Bundesliga to remeber at one moment, okay?
Like I said no worries. We’re absolutely shit rn
Seriously, they have more members than even BvB. They’re the second largest club in Germany by that metric.
iirc Schalke were 16th in revenue the last time they played champions leauge
Germany should thank us for Fritz and Ottmar, Eckel, Liebrich,Kohlmeyer our first World Cup won by Kaiserslautern :)
That’s certainly not an attitude any of those idols would be fond of buddy. We should be grateful they’re part of our history, others shouldn’t be grateful to us.
Ihr tut mir ja schon leid. Der Typ ist ja nichtmal die Ausnahme…
Auf Reddit mag es wohl anders sein. In de Palz is des absolut die Meinung die jeder vertrete werd :) Absoluter Fakt wenn man jeden Pälzer fragt.
They also have a very big population, and less teams at the top level.
Saudi Pro League not in the top 5, no?
No surprise, people don’t care about football in France as much as say in Germany, Spain or Italy. It’s getting more popular among those of immigrant descent in France, but not so much among the general population.
I visited Karlsruhe during a Schalke game at it was filled with Schalke supporters haha.
Germany has a big and spread out population as well, which probably helps. If Paris had 10 football teams in Ligue 1 like London does in the Barcleys, their attandence could be a lot higher
in the Barcleys
How long has it been since it’s no longer called the Barclay’s premier league ? 10 years ?
I don’t know, but it’s fun to say
been like 7 years ?
If you have stadiums big enough and tickets cheap enough, people will turn up and you’ll get numbers like this.
The average cost of a season ticket in the Championship is £451, the average cost of a German second division season ticket is £178~
MLS is sitting pretty with over 10,000,000 total spectators last year.
Bundesliga is the most fan friendly league in the world. Not perfect, but the best.
Not surprised. Ive been living in Paris for a couple years now and even though I have so many friends that are huge football fans there isnt a big “going to the stadium” fan base. I’ve talked to friends and other people that have been living in Paris all their life and are fans of PSG and have never been to a game in their life. Even though there are specificities to this like the fact that its super expensive to go watch a game at the Parc des Princes I believe it also has to do with the fact that the culture of going to your team’s game just isnt as big here.
Only one team in Paris means the stadium is full anyway (45 000+). The low attendance come from club with smaller stadium (Reims, Brest), less club history (Clermont) and no supp culture (Monaco).
Clermont has the 3rd highest attendance in %. Reims and Brest despite having small stadium can’t get them full.
And that’s the main problem of Ligue 1, aside from Paris, absolutely no other clubs are restricted by the size of their stadium, since they can’t get fill the one they already got.
While almost every single german clubs have an average above 95%, in France we have only one. Paris.
Monaco drags a bit the average for France
Average capacity in the 2. Bundesliga is 34 948, by the way.
I just think it’s crazy that my local stadium has just a few less average compared to ligue1
Because League 1 is trash
France has a big Rugby playing culture which Germany doesn’t have.
It should be mentioned that several clubs in La liga , Ligue A and even Serie A were promoted and managed to stay in the top flight playing in relatively small capacity stadiums, while the Bundusliga is in flux with heavyweights still in the Bundesliga 2 like Hamburg and Shalke.
