And yet the powers that be, seems to think that Qatar Sports Investments and privately owned Super clubs is the best model for the future of the game.
Such small numbers compared to the NFL
Too busy farming
France has a big Rugby playing culture which Germany doesn’t have.
Wonder where the Championship ranks. Some big clubs in there currently.
Ah yes the top 5 leagues
I mean, out stadiums are small af too. Paris’ max amount is like 42k.
It helps that some very big clubs are there
Germany is wealthy, has nice big stadiums. Also, Germany has 85m people, bigger cities, bigger supporter groups, bigger everything than the whole rest of Europe. It’s no surprise that they score big in this kind of statistics.
There’s also no pro rugby teams like there is in England and France so football has an even bigger share of support
its astoinily how small out domestic TV deal is, basically adjusted for Population and median income Bundesliga TV deal should be 4x La liga and 3x Seria A but its only a bit bigger then seria A and tie with la liga. basically germans dont seem to willing to spend insane mony on football. wich is in my opinion a good thing.
bigger cities
which funnily enough is where Germany is a big outlier. We have a lot of medium sized cities and some metro areas but our “biggest” cities are smaller than you might think considering our population
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.
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~
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 ?
been like 7 years ?
I don’t know, but it’s fun to say
Honest question for the French fans here. Excuse my English ignorance, but is Rugby bigger than Football in France?
Its because there are so many sleeping giants in the bundesliga 2
