Prices in the Premier League are far too high, it’s not surprising that crowd numbers are down.
And as for this supposedly 39th game, I’ve never heard such a ridiculous money grabbing idea in all my life. Complete farce.

And Mark, those prices are just insane. Cheapest tickets for the Bundesliga still under a tenner.

Hi Diana. I think you’re right about the Bundesliga. The attendances are still healthy, partly because there are plenty of cheap tickets available.
The Bundesliga doesn’t make as much money from TV, but it’s doing well all the same.

If I am not wrong, the Bundesliga in Germany is seeing a reversing trend. I may be wrong, given I had forgotten where I read that stadium attendances are still healthy.

Coming from Singapore myself where it has been touted as one of the possible destinations for the ‘39th game’, I wonder if the Premier League fans here still welcome the idea. The Premier League has got quite an audience here, that if you follow the coverage the newspapers here give to the league.

Back then when the ‘39th game’ idea was first mooted in England, the general sentiment is kind of mixed here. Some welcomed it (given it’s not everyday we get to watch European clubs playing at this side of the world), some said that it’s best the matches remain in England. My reaction at that time was that this will drain the players out, considering of the midweek European matches some has to play as well.

Now with the current economic situation happening around the world at the moment and it has also affected us here, I do not know if this will have any significant impact on the ‘39th game’ plan.

attendances are dropping in Italy, the San Siro was again half empty for the Champions League on Wednesday. In truth they’ve been dropping for a while irrespective of the recession because of a fall in quality, just like the Premier League I reckon.
What’s more shocking is prices to watch second division matches in England. it costs a whopping 27 pounds for an adult at Blackpool (who’ve lost four on the bounce and have a two sided ground)…
