(Note: to see my latest map-and-post on Italian football, click on the following, category: Italy.)

Italy’s Serie A will start it’s 77th season on 30th August.  This map shows the 20 clubs in the league this season.  Club crests are sized to reflect 07/08 average attendances.

Last season,  Serie A averaged 23,180 per game.   This figure was up 25.5% from 06/07,  but this can be viewed as an expected increase,  as the pro game in Italy has recovered somewhat as the widespread fan disaffection in the wake of 05/06, and the “calciopoli” scandals wanes.   Also,  three clubs were promoted (Napoli especially) which that draw much better than the average promoted clubs. 

Whether top flight Italian football can get back to it’s peak modern gate figures, of 1991-’92, when Serie A drew 34,002, remains to be seen.  But a more reasonable goal would be the 25,400 per game that the league drew in 02/03, 03/04, and 04/05.
