Average attendances
If I recall correctly the average attendance in the Indonesian League back in 2007 was about 11,000. For the season just completed it was always going to be a lot less given that clubs like PSMS, Persitara, Persija and Persija couldn't use their own stadiums for what ever reason.
In addition clubs like Arema, Deltras and PSIS had less than impressive campaigns.
So the average attendance for the debut season of the ISL came in at 8,497.
How does that compare within the region. The V League were recently all self congratulatory with an average of 10,000, give or take. The TPL is probably less than half the ISL while in Malaysia crowd figures are a state secret. Hopefully someone from Singapore can let us know the SLeague average.
The biggest crowd in Indonesia last season was the 40,000 that saw Sriwijaya play Persija in Palembang while the smallest was Persita v Persela at Siliwangi Stadium which attracted about 50 paying spectators including me and my mate!
In fact I think I even bought a spare that day for my collection!
UPDATE - forgot to mention that 31 games in last season's ISL wer played behind closed doors, more than 10% of all fixtures!

Hi, for S-League, I'm actually complying the figures for this season and putting them up in Wikipedia.
Depressing to say the least, as even official claim of 2,500 average is over-stated. Even with DPMM that can attract up to 10,000, the average is only slightly more than 2,000. With DPMM, the average falls to 1,800+
