It is because 70% spanish ppl are Real Madrid supporters no matter where they were born (like zarkardon), 25% are Barça fans and the rest it is just a 5%...

Imo only Sevilla and Athletic de Bilbao supporters only support their own team.

So why should these smaller clubs be punished and fined because of a barca/real monopoly?

I didnt know that but if the tv right increase like 3 or 4 times as I said I would understand to punish all the teams for the overpriced tickets.

Spain have a football league?

Nay, they play that europe thing manczester utd can't taste ^^

Thank God ManU plays in EPL and not in LaLIGA or you wouldnt see an european tournament next year bro.

Keep barking louder.

I agree, that's why I said that the LFP board is run by idiots.



Last time this was officially surveyed, "only" 55% of people supported Madrid or Barça over other clubs. It's still a huge number, but a it also shows that many other clubs have a lot of support.

Valencia has about as much support as Atlético, and Betis has even more support than Sevilla because they are more popular in other areas of Andalucía.

Then you have many other teams like Sporting, Oviedo, Racing, Rayo, Zaragoza,... they have a lot of supporters that have them as first choice, even if they also have many fans that have them as second choice.

e: what I mean is that most clubs shouldn't have a problem filling up stadia. If you look at games from 20-30 years ago they were almost always filled, even when the stadium capacities were higher due to there being standing tickets.

Atlético too, true. But the rest 4/5 are playing in lower tiers atm and Betis has been in the second tier many years.

The city with more "peñas" of Real Madrid in Spain after Madrid is like 10 kms away from Barcelona...
