Attendances in the English top flight are set to reach a 50-year high,
according to the Premier League.
The average crowd this season is 35,151, better than any other season since
the inception of the Premier League in 1992-93.
And it is the first time the 35,000 mark has been topped in England since the
1950-51 season.
The German Bundesliga attracts an average of 33,000, Spain's La Liga
average is 29,000 while Italy's Serie A average crowd is 26,000.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The fact that
Premier League attendances are set to reach a 50-year high for top-flight
football is excellent news and testament to the quality and excitement of the
competition, year-in year-out."
