Eurofootball.biz has revealed Premiere League club website visitor stats from a Comscore study. The big four dominating the most visit websites while Manchester United official website’s most visitors came from audience outside of the U.K. (64% of them!!).
Visitor numbers visiting the top four clubs during August 2007 – May 2008 (07/08 season):
- Manchester United – av. 912.000 visitors per month.
- Liverpool – av. 887.000 visitors.
- Arsenal – av. 718.000 visitors.
- Chelsea – 402.000 visitors (no wonder Chelsea redesigned their website and adding new features last month. They’ve left so far behind…).
However, Premierleague.com, the official site of the FA Barclays Premier League attracted 1.2 million and 55% of them came from outside U.K.
comScore analyst Jamie Gavin:
“These data suggest that there is a substantial market for Premiership football beyond the confines of the U.K.”
“It therefore makes sense that the Football Association would be considering staging an additional ten games per season overseas to help raise the profile of the other clubs. Generating additional exposure of these teams across other continents will help establish the Premiership as a sports league with a truly global fan base.”
