The perception comes from when you turn on a Serie A match and seemingly half the stadium is empty. That's no indication of the quality of play but it just looks bad and that's enough for some people.



It's also bad for perception when the "big" clubs like Milan and Inter aren't serious contenders for domestic or European titles.

I agree about attendane. It's really typical Italian mentality to continue to have astronomical prices when following a German model of lowering ticket prices even if it doesn't really mean significantly higher receipts would do wonders for TV marketing.

They should at least sell the seats the cameras face at Curve prices.



Also agree that Inter and AC Milan rebuilding means Juve is the only real CL threat at the moment. I would add that those powers are arguably in no worse of a position to return to that level of prominence as big EPL sides like Arsenal and Liverpool and have better prospects than any other club in Europe without that same pedigree.

Also, Napoli, Roma and Fiorentina are all building the type sides that can make CL runs even if not really on par with the TOP 4 or 5 superpowers.

Inter and Milan may compete for Top3 this season in the league race but the marked improvement of the clubs I mentioned above, and those bastards Lazio as well, means there's not much gap between 2-7 in the table.
