I think one of the reasons the Premiership does
better than Serie A is that every single Serie
A match is televised on Sky Italia, whereas
even with Sky and Setanta you still won't
watch all your teams matches. If you support
Birmingham you probably only get 10 matches a
year, so you have more of a reason to buy
season tickets and the like. In Italy, Inter
Milan filled their stadium once, against Utd.
The Roman Derby was nowhere near full this
year, the supporters' sections were quite
full but the other sectors were empty.
If less matches were televised more people
would go to see matches, giving money to
the clubs and seeing the clubs grow. Also,
I think it's something about the English language
that makes the Premier League so popular
in the rest of the world, English speakers
would probably rather see the Premiership
than Serie A even if they don't know anything
about football.
