Wonder what the total is across the world that goes to the PL and then to the clubs. This is why I dont get how ticket prices can cost so much. Surely ticket sales count for less and having more of the core working class fans there will create more of an atmosphere and therefore sell the premier league even more as a 'product' (hate that term) The flipside is that the 'footballing tourists' usually spend more money than just buying tickets are more likely to pop into the club shop before/after games. Thats not me being derogatory to footballing tourists either as anyone is welcome to support who they want, just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGS will be long gone, but someone is figuring those will be prime Premier League years for Haaland. A pretty safe bet, I suppose. English football (and English/British culture in general) is massive in Norway, Solskjaer has very little to do with it. Norway didn't have televised domestic football until the 90s but English games had been displayed since the 70s. Liverpool are absolutely massive there and Anfield probably has a few hundred, if not thousands of Norwegians going every home game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps explain why countries with less than 30 million people combined will produce a quarter of overseas TV income. (Until deals in other regions are due for re-bidding...) This makes even clearer, there will be large increases in those revenues. No wonder the big clubs demanded a larger share go to the top end of the table.

The Bear Posted 8 February 2020 Share Posted 8 February 2020 (edited) There's also plenty of Wolves fans in Norway. The reason is that the first ever televised game of football over there was Wolves v Sunderland in 1969. Maybe there was a similar big game involving Liverpool early on.

Also a massive contingent of Scandinavian Leeds fans who come across every other week. Same as Irish. They must spend a fortune but they’re all dead passionate Leeds fans, nobody else comes in to the equation for them so fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just likes to go down easily and always seems frustrated with life. Mind stil stuck at Palace with no outlet to pass to so don't blame him!
