Lovey finish by Eckert Ayensa to make it 2-0 v Eintracht Frankfurt...but Frankfurt have pulled it back to 2-1...2 minutes to go

What's the average attendance? Do they have a historically large fan base?

What's the average attendance? Do they have a historically large fan base?

They average around 6300 for home games. They do not have a large fan base but there is talk of moving to a new ground with a larger capacity of 15k compared to the current one which is 8k.
They play their Euro games at a different stadium. Last week for the home leg they were in Lotto Park (Anderlecht) and pulled 9000, and Frankfurt would have traveled with good numbers.

Tough few weeks for Union...Alzate's Royal Standard de Liège at home today, Club Brugge home in the Belgian Cup on Wednesday, away to Óscar García's Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the league before Fenerbahçe home, Gent home, Fenerbahçe away and finally Royal Antwerp away 17th March. Anderlecht won at Club Brugge today and only have three (on paper) easy league games to worry about...

Liège are poor (USG currently winning 2 nil) and Leuven are below Liège in the league. Gent and Antwerp will be testing.
