We have a very old demographic in our fanbase. In fact I think there was a survey a few years back which suggested we have the oldest fans in the PL. On that basis we will also have more vulnerable fans than most. I am not in the vunerable group but I missed our first two home games this season because I caught Covid. That said crowds have been below capacity at United and Liverpool which I suspect is the tourist affect. It is not easy travelling anywhere at the moment.Hope others do the same.
We got 50K for Hoffenheim and Shaktar in 2018/2019. And 40K for Lyon (was the 1st game, same as Leipzig).
We seem to be well down on that level. Maybe a lack of tourists? Those CL games always had a pretty different crowd.
I'm a bit puzzled by our crowds & ticket demand this season, for home and away games.
Other comparable clubs don't seem similarly affected?
