With the shocking attendances at the Emirates of late, we came across something titled "The Premier Leagues Missing Fans" A study undertaken by Zeelo, a company that specialises in fan travel, revealed a large number of interesting as to why Premier League teams are having troubles filling their stadiums.
From an Arsenal point of view, the Emirates came out on top as the most accessible Premier League ground in terms of transport links.
However on the flip side 54% of Gunners fans have missed minutes due to either arriving late or due to leaving early to avoid the overcrowded public transport. If you have ever been to the Emirates you will know these two stats to be true. Especially leaving. Before the end of the game, fans flood out of the stadium, even if we are winning (a rare thing lately). This really is a problem as we need to be getting behind our team and transport shouldn't be the issue causing this problem. Of course there are other reasons why the stadium is empty recently, but this has been an issue for years. But they will be fancying their chances this season, in fact fans have been signing up to Fantasy Sports Betting in New Zealand There are some interesting stats below on each team have a look
