Average Number Of Empty Seats Per Premier League Club

I thought it would be interesting to find out which Premier League club has the most number of empty seats for their Premier League home games on average. The figures have been calculated using the highest and lowest attendances for each club so far for the 2011/12 season. I think you will agree, the results are a little surprising.

Club Empty Seats (Average) Capacity
Tottenham 91 36,230
Man Utd 339 75,811
Liverpool 344 45,276
Stoke 369 27,740
Arsenal 431 60,361
Man City 445 47,350
Fulham 462 25,700
Norwich 734 27,010
Swansea 751 20,520
Chelsea 838 42,449
QPR 1,909 18,439
West Brom 2,116 26,360
Wolves 3,494 27,828
Bolton 4,153 28,100
Newcastle 6,298 52,409
Everton 7,051 40,157
Wigan 7,451 25,133
Blackburn 8,593 31,154
Sunderland 9,792 48,707
Aston Villa 9,912 42,785

I think its fair to say most football fans would have put Blackburn and Wigan in the bottom 5. But with Aston Villa and Sunderland with the most empty seats on average per away game its fair to say… “They’re here, They’re there, They’re every-f**king-where, They’re empty seats, they’re empty seats”.
