Granada CF Tops La Liga Attendance List For Second Consecutive Year

For the second consecutive season, Granada CF tops La Liga's attendance list "with average attendances at 90.4% capacity," according to INSIDE SPANISH FOOTBALL. However, Granada CF "showed a decline on the previous season, when they averaged 94% of capacity." That decline is also recognized globally, with numerous factors "being blamed for the number of empty seats." The "poor economic situation and high unemployment in Spain, matched with amongst the highest priced league match tickets of the major leagues in Europe are one key factor." Late kick-off times "deterred many families with children from attending matches," whilst although Spanish fans generally do not travel in high numbers to away matches, Monday night matches "were another deterrent for working fans" (INSIDE SPANISH FOOTBALL, 6/16).
