This year's FA Cup will have the lowest average attendance for the competition in the last decade.
Manchester City and Watford meet in Saturday's final, which is set to be played in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley.
Even if that is the case, though, the average crowd in this year's tournament will be below 12,000 for the first time this decade.

This season's average FA Cup attendance of below 12,000 is the lowest in over a decade
Every previous season since 2009-10 has averaged over 12,500, with the highest figure
