Interesting Stat.

The average age of Premiership crowds is 43 and fewer than 10% are under 24. (Guardian) </p>

 

My wife, who goes with me to the matches and we sit in the eaststand lower, commented that a decent flu epidemic and BFC would go bust. I'm one of the younger ones where we sit and I'm 48 !!!</p>

 

Agreed, I sit in east stand lower and majority are old men. But im 16..

 

yer cheeky young whippersnapper, in my day you'd have been in the trenches !!!!

 

There seems to be a few kids in the Ponte End.</p>

However where I sit I dont that there are many under 30's.</p>

 

It may be one of the reasons we don't get much trouble at Oakwell.

How has this changed over the last 15 years, do you have any stats?

(battered) (casualty)

 

Might ask the club ,

I suppose they can only go on season ticket holders though.</p>

When I started going in 84 , there seemed to be loads of Teenagers.</p>

Maybe they are all in the Family Stand area.</p>

 

simple fact - too expensive for young un's plus its too much like hard work

tearing yourself away from your games consul or computer and travelling to oakwell.</p>

RE: simple fact - too expensive for young un's plus its too much like hard work

That may or may not be the case.</p>

The National Stats show that there are more 40 years olds alive today than any other year group so it's not surprising that the average age is 43.</p>

I wonder how the figures compare with the demogrphic trends?</p>
