Club Gates as Percentage of Capacity Filled

[Macmoish]

Note: This was a look at Championship Clubs from four years ago...So obviously differences, with actual clubs and actual gates (and probably a few ground improvements, here and there). But still interesting (to me at least)...And maybe somewhere there are updated stats, etc.

Note: Championship Attendances This Season, with QPR currently averaging 14,608www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalAttendance/0,,10794~20107,00.html


Comparing Championship Clubs' Attendances as Percentage of Ground Capacity-

[Not sure the origal source for this research, but extremely interesting]

Eastern Daily Press - "[Norwich] Supporters are top of the league""...Norwich City fans are top of the league when it comes to packing them in at home games...An average of 24,627 fans pack into Carrow Road for every home game - a staggering 96.5pc of the ground's capacity...That's way above nearest challengers Luton, who stand at 88.1pc, followed by Championship leaders Cardiff and then bottom club Southend..."
