Best league in the world, much?

Not really surprising tbh . They have 80,000 seater stadium for a relagated team filling regularly IIRC .

"I don`t know the bundesliga really, but it has to be a weak league like that guy said next to me, who dont know the bundesliga either....."

And all that without Hertha who averaged more than 46.000 in Bundesliga 2.

Make no mistake, English clubs could pack 100.000 (if their stadiums were that big Wink

) with German ticket prices but those cheap tickets are one of the reasons why Germans fans feel such a connection to their clubs, they feel the league has not lost it's soul yet.

It's had better Bayern times. Football is blossoming there but it doesn't necessarily mean the quality is peaking or anything (Wolfsburg *cough*)

German soccer fans are pretty insular.
They love their local teams to death and prefer local players to play for them.

They don't particularly care if someone in Malaysia or Nigeria thinks the Bundesliga is a top 3 league or not.

For everybody who knows the bundesliga really, is that no NEW topic at all....

the bundesliga seems to be getting a lot more popular these days. a bunch more exposure means more money and better players. glad to see this as i enjoy watching german football. i usually only watch the big games but maybe next season i shall try to watch more games

If clubs there charged ticket prices on par to PL ones... that's a lot of money.

never going to happen though, fans got a decent amount of power back here Very Happy

by Neo Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:30 pm

yes you are right

What the Bundesliga really needs, is more money from the TV-Pool

exactly, it just lacks some kickass marketing

by OLpower Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:33 pm

Incredible number.

Our poor ligue 1 with villages playing in and with small stadiums are far, far behind. And it will decrease again with Lens in ligue 2 and Marseille attendance who will drop.

In France it's almost impossible to build a new stadium. But we are still trying at Lyon.

by Sushi Master Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:34 pm

Agreed. It would break the whole league spirit and that's just unthinkable. If they got more money from TV, plus the shit loads they make from marketing (it's like the money the fans save on tickets they spend on merch!), maybe German clubs could buy talent along with also growing it.
