AshVilla Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is that figure correct Average attendance 5,295? Even Walsall managed to attract 4 and a half thousand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is that figure correct Average attendance 5,295? Even Walsall managed to attract 4 and a half thousandYeah. Remember the kind of people who live in Monaco. Not the typical football-going types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland springs to mind! Not really. Spain is probably closer, when you consider the location of the two big clubs (Barcelona and Madrid, Paris and Monaco) and the amount they'll be spending.

turnbull Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is that figure correct Average attendance 5,295? Probably 300 quid to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Is that figure correct Average attendance 5,295? Even Walsall managed to attract 4 and a half thousand Population of Walsall: 270,000 Population of Monaco: 35,000 Dunno who would support Monaco, I guess Nice are their local rivals, and Genoa (Italy) isn't that far away either. They aren't really a club you can judge by everyday standards, they are a rich man's plaything from one of the wealthiest parts of the world. They really should be a national team like San Marino or Liechtenstein but for some reason they were allowed to field a team in the French leagues. Probably 300 quid to get in. A season ticket worked out at £1.71 (€2) per match last season as far as I can tell. Individual match tickets seem to be £4 (€5) if you sit in the corners going up to £25 (€30) if you want to sit on the half way line. Away tickets are all £4 (€5) Edited May 29, 2013 by The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarjei Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 How are they ever going to be a financially sound club (and get to play in european competitions) with that "fan base"? It's seems odd to me., they would have to be bankrolled for a very long time. With Chelsea, Man City and PSG, as must as I despise their way of rising to the top, at least they have long term plans that seems reasonable.

Big_John_10 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Interesting article but I still don't see how the player has no choice. If he didn't want to go to Monaco and made that perfectly clear then Monaco aren't going to pay all that money for someone who doesn't want to be there.

MrDuck Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 French clubs very upset with Monaco, understandably so. The two different tax laws mean that it costs Monaco less than a third of what it costs other French teams to pay a player the same net salary. Ligue 1 have implemented a law stating that all clubs in the top flight have to be registered in France for tax purposes, but Monaco are fighting that as a violation of European law.

You're a person with a job, not an investment portfolio. Surely there is a way for players to get out of these things. I know he probably doesn't care when he's on 300k a week but it all seems a bit off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they sort of did a few years ago when Morientes turned down Lyon for Monaco but they had 10 years to react and never did so its teh leagues fault for not amending their rules then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
