So is 75,000 the best you can get?
On ANZAC day in Australia, an AFL game between Essendon and Collingwood is annually played and it often draws 90,000 fans to the game.
The Grand Final this year featured over 100,000 in attendance and Hawthorn and Geelong aren't exactly the two most popular teams in the AFL.
The difference is, Manchester United and Aresenal etc would get 50k-70k+ on a regular game to game basis.
I'm sure if EPL had Grand Finals they would pack out Wembley as much as the capacity can hold, considering Portsmouth and Cardiff city got 89k in there FA cup final.
.::Stevo::. said:I do watch Premier League matches from time to time, but find most dead boring as its a much slower/ less physical game than AFL (plus i dont have that emotional attachment to any team)
It does depend on the teams. Some games are end to end exciting stuff with 20-30 attempts on goal during the game. I've watched boring, slow paced AFL games before and I've watched slow, boring EPL games but I've also watched exciting fast paced games in both sports.
