How did your team do in the average annual attendance table?
Whilst on average Premiership crowds were up by 4% there is an underlying turning of backs in Europe on football matches as TV satuation becomes almost complete. In fact Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, believes that away supporters are particularly in danger of being priced out of grounds.
"We will be watching very closely what happens next season, when there will be a major increase in media revenue under the new television contracts," Clarke told BBC Sport.
"The Premier League clubs will be receiving so much from these contracts that they could let almost everybody in for free next season and still have the same amount of money coming in as they do now.
"Certainly if the match-going fan does not get the benefit of the clubs' extra media revenue, the reaction could be significant."
