Championship attendances this season

Im pretty certain it will be highest attendamces ever in the championship. Some massive clubs and a few middling teams like bristol city getting 20k plus. I did read this summer the EFL overall had the highest attendances for 70 years. 22million punters IIRC
 
I don't understand the constant attempts to paint places as "rugby cities'.

In domestic rugby, both League and Union attendances are beaten by football attendances, usually comfortably so, in every city that has a professional rugby team and a league football team, barring Exeter and Salford.
With Salford, that won't be because rugby is more popular but because most of the people living there support Man United.

With Wigan, it's only the Wigan - St Helens matches that attract attendances above that of the football team, and that's the town that people most often use an example of being more interested in rugby and they've not had any proper success since they won the FA Cup.

Plenty of the attendees will also be watching both.

If Bristol City were in any way successful, they would comfortably sell-out, but they've not been in the top flight for 43 years and their only achievements in that time have been promotion from the third tier and the Diddy Cup (where they took 41k to Wembley).

Is that BPL (Before the Premier League) or after.

I wonder what the attendances were when Man U dropped into Div 2.

Average home league attendance: 47,781

Highest home attendance: 60,585 vs Sunderland (30 November 1974)
 
Our attendance (29k) was the highest in the Championship on Saturday - 4th highest over the weekend - behind Leicester 31k, Leeds 36k and I expect Sunderland at around 36k/38k (unannounced on BBC website).
 
I think the Mack's got around 44000 for Ipswich, 2000 away. . I have seen pictures of the SOL and the upper bowl was looking full.

We’ll do well to be 4th best attendance this season. Cov and Norwich will likely have 25-28k average

Depends on the away support, I suspect, we tend to get fewer away fans than most other clubs.
But we'll be getting a bare minimum of 21,000+, and that's with 0 ticket sales and 0 away fans.

If we're doing well, we'll comfortably surpass last season's average.
 
We have fantastic support, look historically we get incredible attendance and SC sales for this division. Especially in these hard times.

We won't unless we're challenging.

I think we will average at least 27k - should make us top 6 for crowds.

Norwich can't average 27k - stadium is too small

Coventry averaged 22,500 ish last season they will likely increase that this season by not by 4,500 unless they in the top 3 or 4.

Leeds and Sunderland will average over 35k

Leicester may average 29k to 30k, same for Southampton if they are top 3 or 4.

Ipswich could average 28k - their ground can hold 30k and they averaged 26k last season

Just wish we’d ditch the drum for me, and reverted back to old school type atmosphere. Feel like the drum just drones out us trying to get a “ proper “ atmosphere going.
