Abstract
A demand equation is estimated for total Football League attendances for the period 1948/49 to 1979/80. Plausible values are obtained for the elasticities of demand with respect to income and to a price variable which includes the cost of travel to the stadium. The values imply that football spectating is an inferior good with a low price elasticity. Equations are also estimated for the League's separate divisions. The implications of the results for the Football League clubs are discussed.Keywords
