This is typical propaganda from the official website. You can't use official figures to make this sort of comparison, you must look at the stadium capacity as well and look at what percentage of the seats have been filled. Here's a revised analysis:
As you can see, when done this way we're only 11th out of 26th out of the matches selected, which doesn't look so good now does it?
I hate it when people use statistics without putting them in their proper context. This is without considering the fact that we're a London club and our supporters tend to come from the Home Counties, where incomes are generally higher relative to the rest of the country, and even then so many people stayed away from the match, despite the cheap tickets.

ok you lot just seem to be wanting to bash the club for everything they do. no point debating anymore, you jsut going to bash the club anyway
Bottom line really is that Arsenal.com didnt need to publish that story. It just smacks of desperation. Who are they trying to kid really? During the Liverpool game, there were empty seats in the front row, game against Swansea was also empty.. now when I say empty, I dont mean a barren stadium but compared to Arsenal standards. From what I hear, it seems tickets are going on General Sale. When did that happen on a regular basis earlier?
Arsenal has a lot of negativity around the football club and its not going to go away by posting shit articles like that. In fact, they should stop posting anything on that website. Do your talking and playing on the football field.. if they can manage to do that, the fans will come around themselves.
