Pisa fans have already won. The stadium is full again

One objective, perhaps the main one, has already been largely achieved by Filippo Inzaghi: to make the city passionate about the team again. Not a foregone conclusion, considering the bad mood left by the end of last season. Now, the passion has blossomed again, but there is more: the Pisa leads the league! We're not talking about the standings (even though, given the second place, it's not that it's going to be far there), but about the percentage of stadium occupancy.

The realization of the dream is ever closer, the two defeats against Sassuolo and Spezia could have depressed the crowd, which instead has tightened even more. Against Mantova the second best figure of the season was recorded in terms of tickets sold in home matches: the 9023 present were second only to the 9300 against Sassuolo. An average, considering the fifteen matches that Pisa has played at home so far this season, of 8397 fans present at the Arena. "Few", you might think. Not at all, considering the percentage of occupancy. The Cetilar Arena during the season it was full on average at 84%. The best figure of the entire championship Serie B. Obviously, these numbers were calculated by analyzing the previous capacity, which did not reach ten thousand seats, therefore prior to the current expansion works, which will lead, on the occasion of the match with Cremonese, to exceed the 11290 mark, with the addition of a further 370 seats in the Curva and 104 in the stands. "We must continue to fuel this enthusiasm" Calabresi and Caracciolo had declared in the meet & greet organized by the company on Wednesday, during which about four hundred fans invaded the Pisanova shopping center.

The numbers at the stadium favor Pisa, while it is curious to think that the first in the real ranking, Sassuolo, has the lowest percentage of occupancy of the entire championship: the Mapei Stadium (when the Neroverdi play, not Reggiana) is on average filled to just 25%. Behind the Nerazzurri, we find Carrarese, who fill the little more than four thousand seats of the Stadio dei Marmi to 81% (Transfermarkt data). Spezia closes the podium, which also in this case at the moment is chasing the Nerazzurri team in the ranking. With an average attendance of 8918, the Picco is on average 81% full. In the next match, Inzaghi's team will visit Cosenza, last in the ranking and coming off a heavy 4-0 defeat in the Calabrian derby against Catanzaro. The match is scheduled at the "Gigi Marulla", a stadium that is on average filled to 28%, with 5927 fans in attendance.
