Using match attendance data collected from a postal survey of Football League clubs, separate demand equations are estimated for standing and seated viewing accommodation. Some significant differences between attendance patterns for the two types of accommodation are identified: current form, the championship significance of the match and a geographical distance variable are found to be important determinants of standing attendance, while the club's historical record is of particular importance for seated attendance. The paper also discusses the implications of the results in view of the current moves towards the conversion of stadia to all-seated accommodation.
