#1 Celta Vigo's feud with the fans show no sings of watering down

Celta Vigo continue to garner abysmally low attendance for their home games
Celta Vigo continue to garner abysmally low attendance for their home games

Whilst it's normal to see lesser number of fans travelling to see their sides play away from home, it is quite bewildering when even less of them turn up for home games. That's pretty much the case with Celta Vigo right now.

The Galicians were slapped with a fine at the start of the season for egregiously low attendance at the Balaidos, as the officials have enforced a new rule which demands a club to ensure at least 70% occupancy at the stadium for the home games. But despite all this, the club sees no light of the day as the attendance remain negligible.

In fact, they have gone further down as they average 15,800 fans this season compared to 16,500 last term, despite slashing the ticket prices. These off-field issues may be seeping through on to the field as well, as Celta sit 11th in the table with a paltry return of just 21 points.

But what's more agonizing is that the fans look least concerned about it.
