Yesterday marked ten years since @orlandopirates last won a league title
So I wondered:
- Are fans still watching games
- Did attendance get affected
- What does average viewership per team look like

Sentiment on social media and other platforms has been roundly negative and particularly scathing of the coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids. One of the clubs biggest and longest-serving fans, Mama Joy, even left the club to go and support league debutants, Royal AM.

But what do the numbers say?
According to a Nielsen Sports SA 2020 research survey of domestic football fans, Orlando Pirates is still the second most supported team in the country and also ranks highly among fans second favorite teams to support.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m back with another thread, this time on coaching in the #PSL.
In this thread I will focus on SA coaches in the local game, average coaching age compared to Europe and give you some other interesting stats along the way

As a start, I looked at how many South Africans have coached the big three #PSL teams. What I found was worrying.
I began by looking into #KaizerChiefs and it shocked me that Chiefs has only had ONE South African head coach since 1994 (@komphelasteve 2015-2018) 😳😰

In fact, @ErnstMiddendorp, the current Chiefs coach, first appeared on the local scene in 2005 to coach Kaizer Chiefs and has coached SIX different #PSL clubs thus far.
This is his second stint at Chiefs along with spells at Martitzburg, Chippa, Bloem Celtic, FS Stars & Arrows

Happy #YouthDay #PSL football fans, I'm back with another piece of interesting research. So I went back and looked at crowd attendance at #AbsaPrem football matches
Here is what I found. THREAD 👇

It's a known fact that crowd attendance has been an issue for a long time. Others have mentioned price while travel time and safety are also major factors for a lot of fans. I will look at pure attendance numbers as well as jump into some research I found around #PSL attendance
To make things easier, I focused on the top 10 crowd attendance averages for the last 3 years. I then looked at the big three teams (Chiefs, Pirates and Downs) and tracked their average attendance record over the last ten years.
