Summary Little quantitative work has so far appeared in the growing literature on professional sports. In this paper a model is constructed and estimated for the attendances of four English First Division clubs. The possibility of a common law‐like relationship is examined and account is taken of common cross‐sectional influences in order to raise the efficiency of the estimates.
