Message: [QUOTE="mitch222, post: 2848062, member: 8605"] It also helps that as an away fan, you can get to practically any game your team plays in England in the space of just 6 hours on a train. Without flying, try doing Townsville to Melbourne in 6 hours? Plus the fact that England has 52 million people also helps their figures nationally. Soccer is a national sport that has teams in the EPL from all parts, not just for 7 million of the population like league has with only the eastern states. On a stadium capacity, sure they get a decent amount of fans, but I'm sure if all of Australia was accessible by Train in less than a day at an affordable rate then our crowd figures would be fairly decent as well. I'm sure if someone lived in Bourke and Suncorp was 2 hours on a train, then a die hard fan would be travelling every week to support them. Logistics help England out a lot more than you think. I quite like the fact that a team can get the wooden spoon one year, and the next be in the grand final in October. [/QUOTE]
