Bollocks. Lens is a town on its own, it isn't part of a large city like Hull. In the total area there are about 500,000 people but that is in an area the size of East Yorkshire, so City's crowds should be shown as a percentage of around 700,000 people, which wouldn't be very impressive,
Also theres only 32 teams in the NFL so if you average it out its one team for every 10 million people.
No it hasn't? Add together all the neighbouring towns and the population is about the same as Hull but spread over an area the size of East Yorkshire. They twin up with the neighbouring area and it is still only 500,000. 1.5 million is bollox. Lens is the largest town in that district and the other places are small and a bit of a journey away.
Yes, but it doesn't work like that. The college sides get larger crowds. Yanks don't tend to latch onto a club miles away which they have no connection with like Hull Reds and Hull Whites and all the Surrey Reds. In any case most .Yanks live about a days drive from a gridiron team.Not that it would do them any good as all the games are sold out anyway to the locals. The 92 teams in this country work out at 600,000 for every team. Scunny, Fleetwoodvand Accrington don't get many of their share going.
Lens is part of the Pas-de-Calais district, which has a population of 1,465,205, though it is a pretty large area.
They dont all sell out if you watch it regular. I watch all the games every week and there is often empty seats at certain teams grounds.
Doesn't mean there are any tickets available. You get the same at Man U, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc, empty seats but no tickets available.
Yes it does Oakland Raiders often xlose the top tier due to mot enough demand. This year they have made a good start the best for years and it was shut for the home game a couple of weeks back. Theres a few teams running at below 90% capacity if you take a look.
A while back. They reduced the capacity not long after. And again either the Euros or the World Cup to make it all seater. Yes, only half the population of the town turning up, we put them to shame.
That is an area larger than Hull and the East Riding. So on that basis Brid Town should have a 30,000+ stadium.
Imagine how many fans Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U etc etc had if it was only people from their local areas. Not sure why the penis waving about numbers of fans from the local area who support a club is relevant. Not everyone likes football for a start. Weirdos.
Maybe not as many people are as interested in football as some would like to think. There is other things to do with peoples hard earned money
Just watching MOTD Sunderland look ****, but at least they have some fight in them. Anichebe looks like a great signing for them. Scored the goal and earnt the pen.
