http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/attenda...ar=2006&cc=5901it's amazing how inter runs away with the league, but we still have better attendance

Amazing find Warchant. I thought Inter surpassed us this year.

I don't think it's accurate or updated since the numbers don't add up. Roma has 240k while Inter has 200k, but Inter has a higher average attendance (huh??)
plus 200k / 19 home games = average of like 10k per game so these stats are not for the whole season

it is up to date...read the website and you'll see that
you have to take into account that not every game was completely sold out...while others were...it throws off the average attendance a little bit...regardless, we had the largest attendance.
take some math classes

How does Inter have a lower total attendance then Roma but a higher average one?
????
What was wrong with my math, I took total and divided by the number of home games. Sheesh.

It says Milan has a total of 259,000 for 2006/2007. In the previous year it says we have 891,000.
Are you still telling me it's "completely updated for this year"
maybe you should take some logic classes

I honestly dont think that soccer net would make a mathematical error. I believe in those averages.

did you see any of our games earlier in the season? the san siro was nearly empty
it may not be up-to-date, but with all the scandals and empty stadiums serie a has had this year i also would believe those #'s

woowww we're by far the most attended team.

It can't possibly be right.
It says we've had around 250,000 over a whole season, with an average of 50,000 a game. I'm no genius, but that works out to 5 home games?
I know Italian football is poorly supported but Villa get around 700,000 fans per season, surely Milan would get more than 250,000?
Also, how came Roma have more fans than Inter over the whole season, yet have a lower average, it's mathematically impossible.

http://www.european-football-statistics.co...rent/aveita.htmI found this. Basically Inter top us by a small margin. Probably right.
Dunno. Check it out.

That sounds better, Italian football really doesn't get support though, no idea why.

That's not mathematically impossible... it could be right but I doubt it; there's certainly something wrong with those stats!

No, it is mathematically impossible.
If they've both played the same games, the one with the highest total must have the highest average. But Inter has a lower total with a higher average. Which is not possible.
Darunia
Jun 9 2007, 06:35 AM
Yeah, and we've played more than 5 home games!
The average (51,000) sounds plausible, but the total (250,000) is very wrong.
Let's say the average was correct, then 51,000 x 19 home games = 969,000... which is a lot. My guess is that they didn't record figures for all the games, but just did like 5 games or so. If you go to Roster/Schedule for Milan it doesn't have attendance numbers for every game.

Could it be they record only season ticket holders? Or say only club supporters when they say total attendance? While average attendance points to the people present for each match?

I don't know if this is significant, but when I was in Milan last summer, the cab driver (an inter fan) said that many people decided against buying season tickets for 06/07 .. Because of the Calciopoli etc ... The fact that they didn't win their previous title on the field was a major turn off for Inter fans.
This is of one person's opinion, as far as I know, he has been a season ticket holder for some time, but last season, he didn't buy a season ticket and many of his (inter) friends didn't find it interesting, seeing as there was no Juve and the competition start at a disadvantage (not worth their money).

An average of 45,000 (55%). That is nothing short of awful.

Remember what happened after the riots in Sicily that cost the life of a policeman... it's actually a bit more than 55% as San Siro is (without the restrictions) an 80K capacity stadium minus the seats at the end of the opposition fans.

Ah yes, I'd forgot about that. It's probably around the 66%-70% mark then. Which isn't too bad I suppose.
Well, for this Calciopoli-hit season and for the football we played in the first half I guess it's a good percentage...
May Serie A see brighter days!

It had and it will DST, Milan always gives Seria A a big push, like this year.

If Milan were holding the record for Serie A attendance, then they would proudly publish it on the official site! Since they haven't, I don't think these stats are correct.
