If you thought Bournemouth was small and bringing down the Premier League average attendance, I wonder what this lot will do to La Liga's average? Huesca have been promoted to La Liga for the first time in their history. The ground, Estadio El Alcoraz holds 5,500! And that's on top of Eibar who stayed up with their 7,000 capacity ground and also losing Deportivo and Malaga who both had mid sized grounds for the league.
Optimistic as ever |

Leeds player Samuel Saiz was signed from Huesca by former Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen.

They would be more like Egham FC in the Isthmian League South Central, which is the 8th tier of league football rather then the 1st tier.

Spal in 'Serie A' only have a capacity of 8,500. Top French team Monaco has a stadium which only holds around 18,500 and only half fill it. Edited by Willo (22 May 2018 4.31pm)

Edited by Willo (22 May 2018 4.31pm) They did when they were a Serie B club but it expanded to 13,000 when promoted and it's going up again to 16,000 in the summer. Monaco are in the French league but they're not a French team, they are Monegasque. A bit like Cardiff and Swansea aren't English teams.

Highlights the lack of competition in European leagues outside of the elite few. Woking have a capacity of 6,000 in the conference south. The English league system is great.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |
