One for you Brian, or anyone else who knows......
Why are attendance levels so low in the French top division? Recent matches involving Ajaccio and Auxerre had less than 10,000 fans; one game had only 5000 as the official attendance.
Is this normal? I'm guessing that reasons might include the fact that France's best players play abroad, and perhaps some regional clubs might not have very big stadiums.
I'm not knocking the situation, I'm just curious. What's the story?
