These stats are interesting however other factors must be borne in mind, such as the attendance of away surporters.
In terms of percentage of ground filled, it is important to note the issues surroung segration of away fans and the impact that these empty seats have. The seats will not be on sale but are counted in the overall capacity. This will probably help account for the less than 1% of seats not filled in Emirates and Old Trafford.
Also wondered if you are sure if the reported attendances are accurate? In Scotland, particuarly Celtic and Rangers, there is a tendency to overstate the attendance.
With Celtic, i believe that we include all season tickets holders, even though in some occasions they fail to attend. E.g. recent midweek games against Inverness and Dundee Utd were no where near the reported attendance.
Does this problem exist in England?

i agree with the earlier comment, segregation must have a big impact on these figures, accurate though im sure they are. Some clubs chose to barely segregate, whilst other such as Sunderland, have a large expanse of area between opposing supporters, and no doubt Sunderlands massive away following will help the percentages of others!!

Yes, certain clubs like B'ham choose to fleece the away support thus potentially reducing their percentage still further.
Could we see average ticket prices for each club again, please?
Now a ranking based on decibels and % singing support.
Then a ranking based on the average age of the supporter's jerseys (the bandwagon index).
Thanks!

kat kid,
Love the idea of an "average age of supporter's jersey" metric :)
Based on decibels and signing support (from my TV-only experiences), Pompey and Liverpool would have to be at the top of those tables. The crowds always seem to be good and loud there.

Wow, looks like you've got your work cut out for you Gaff.
Or maybe even some stats concerning the popularity of different football clubs across the world (EX. Barca = popular in china).
BillieShears... have you not looked at the table the whole year? I thought I remember seeing Arsenal being #1 until 2 weeks ago?
The ticket prices all depend on different things though... like in Arsenals case it's the fact that they just built a new stadium...
Credit to Manchester United, so many seats and to fill 'em all week after week is something else... I just can't stand their fvcking fans.

Here's the final stat. I don't want to turn this into an anorak blog after all : )
The following research shows what clubs have the noisiest fans in the Premier League. Not surprisingly, Arsenal and Man United appear near the foot of this table, but the first place club may surprise you.
While watching the derby this Sunday look out for the following banner: EVERTON FC WELCOME LIVERPOOL FANS TO MERSEYSIDE

Are there any TV rules in England? Thats a terrible way to put it but I mean in America for NFL games, they cant be shown on TV in the home markets unless the game is a sell out, is there any type of rule like that in England?
Game well and truly over

You've mixed up Jack Warner and Jack Walker :-)

Good catch about Jack Walker. I mixed up a sinner as a saint. It's now fixed.
