Ex- Arsenal chief Dein: Premier League success down to modern stadia

Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein says the Premier League's success is down to their modern stadia.

Dein was at the forefront of the launch of the Premier League in the 1990's.

He told TMW: "Without a doubt the Premier League is in constant growth, it has developed in an incredible way since its inception.

"Certainly the construction of stadiums, built for comfort, is a big factor. They're full to 96% capacity.

"And there has been a great job in drawing the attention of television and sponsors, with big fees which make it a healthy competition."
