are you also confident you will fill your little stadium ........
Back in February we brought you the findings of a report by BDRC Continental found that found Sunderland were the league leaders when it comes to empty seats in the Premier League.
The findings showed that Sunderland and Villa were way ahead of the other 18 clubs when it comes to lost revenue from missing fans, in terms of lost ticket revenue and what fans could expect to spend on food, drinks and programmes.
Taking into account average crowd attendances, the figures below showed on average how many empty seats each club had on average and what it is estimated to cost that club over the course of a season.
top (worst supported-most emoty seats)
Sunderland 8,829 (£6,542,289)
Aston Villa 8,467 (£6,965,800)
Wigan 6,479 (£4,197,744)
Everton 3,520 (£3,103,232)
Bizarrely Newcastle’s crowds have inched higher as we’ve sunk lower in the league and with an average now of over fifty thousand the number of empty seats per game over the season will be only around two thousand.
