Tranmere match day attendance is usually around 7k which is good for League 2. Considering the stadium is 16k capacity and they're competing against Eveton and Liverpool for local fans.
We also have a relatively large capacity due to our success in the 90’s and 00’s, when it was a struggle to get a ticket, compared to our population, so in percentage terms our numbers will be low.
@@Norwich_News Blackburn’s average attendance last season was 13.2% of the town’s population, Norwich’s was 17.8%. Which sounds like a big difference, but look at the competition for attention as a football club in the NW compared to East Anglia. We have: Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Preston NE, Blackpool, Bolton, Burnley, Bury, Oldham, Stockport, Tranmere, Chester City, Macclesfield, Stockport , Rochdale, Huddersfield, Halifax and Bradford, all closer to us than Ipswich are to Norwich. It’s a different business for us. Our Stadium is also sized for a different era of success, where it was hard to get a ticket in the 31,000 seater stadium, but 10+ years of Championship and League 1 footy haven’t helped in a town where people need to make their money work for them. Norwich’s stadium has 4,000 less seats, so our reduced crowd size looks even more noticeable. Our attendance/population is roughly the same as Preston who have been marginally more successful than us over the last 10 years. Burnley are averaging around 6,000 more per game in a decade where they have yo-yo’ed between the Prem and the Championship. The point being that we’re doing ok, and roughly in line with our equivalents. What we need is a promotion and a slice of the Prem glamour/cash, and parachute payments to keep us looking up, rather than over our shoulder. BTW I like Norwich as a football club, so no hate coming from my direction.
Wigan is first and foremost a Rugby League town but they don't even fill it for those games. The problem for Tranmere is its proximity to Liverpool and Everton.
Rugby league through and through my town and warriors actually reach 20000+ every season on Darby days and over 13000 average every week which is the most of any rugby league team In the country so no wonder little athletics struggle when playing shite appointments still a good turn out for the town when they both turn out on the same weekend WIGAN IS A SPORTING TOWN ITS THE HEART OF IT ❤
Not that it matters Colchester have a reduced capacity there days owner is too cheap to get new seats so pulls them from other parts of the ground that is not a joke
No, mate. Historically with higher averages than Sheffield United, alongside more trophies and top flight seasons. Please don't let facts stand in your way though.
@@stuartburgess2626The topic of the video is emptiest stadiums. History shows the capacity of Hillsborough has always been too big for Wednesday. That is the point I'm trying to make.

Sad to see prenton park so empty... Been to a few games last year and between the place falling down and dreadful team makes one think twice.to go back on a regular basis
Wiiiidnes. It’s coz the vikings used to be a rugby league giant and now they’re a bit shit and play in the championship so the ground doesn’t fill up for the footy or rugby. The council still use it to hold functions and meetings which is why it’s not getting demolished. Hopefully the vikings sort it out and we can fill the north stand again
I was sure that I heard correctly.. and so expected to have the spuds stadium at No.1 The biggest capacity stadium in London and so the emptiest.. But no.. it's their trophy cabinet that is the biggest.. and so the emptiest, too.. They've converted it into a 'cheese-display' cabinet in their executive lounge.. they also keep their dry fruit and nuts in there, too..(not sure if that follows the kosher rules, though..)
In cases like these why not let kids & OAP's in free and adults £5. Even boosting attendance by 10% could improve team performance by 25%. It's sad to see the demise of local clubs, without the fan base, supporters and community they are on borrowed time.
Compare this with college sports in America where their stadiums are sold out for every game, every year. They truly love their teams whether they're winning or losing.
@@ImNotReallyHereMCFC Not necessarily so. The Wyoming Cowboys has a Stadium capacity of just over 30,000, and an average attendance of 85% capacity. Wyoming has a population of just over 580,000, with 10 colleges. Wigan has a Stadium capacity of around 25,000 and an average attendance, according to this video, of 41% capacity, and a population of around 326,000.
But do all those Wyoming colleges actually have American football teams? And even if they do, do all 10 draw tens of thousands of fans? The American population is around 300 million, more than four times that of the UK, so it’s no surprise that your college teams might get similar or even larger attendances than our top clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, or Liverpool. However, let's talk about atmosphere. I'd bet that the fans of a National League side in England could out-sing any American college crowd, and that's not even considering League Two, League One, Championship, or Premier League sides. The passion and energy in English football is night and day compared to American football.
@@jackallen8873 Yes, those other colleges in Wyoming all play football. The country's population is irrelevant as I've already given the numbers for those in that State compared with the population of Wigan. When it comes to fans participation, singing isn't one of them in the U.S, but it would seem that actually going to watch a game isn't something fans in the U.K. are interested in doing either. Something that can't be said about fans in Wyoming.
