Stunning Championship attendance table compares home turnouts for West Brom, Leeds United, Sunderland & rivals

With four rounds of fixtures now ticked off, the new Sky Bet Championship season is well underway. Fans up and down the country have been relishing the return of competitive action, especially when their teams have played on home soil in front of packed crowds.

West Brom, unbeaten with three wins and one draw, have thoroughly enjoyed life in the second tier so far this term. Missing out on promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs was disappointing but the mood around the football club has been revived by positive results.

The summer transfer business certainly helped matters, too, with a whopping 11 players brought in to bolster the squad. The start to the window was concerning as Okay Yokuşlu, Cédric Kipré and Conor Townsend departing, but Carlos Corberan now arguably has better depth at his disposal.

With so much excitement brewing over another push for promotion, the attendances at The Hawthorns have been very impressive. The same can be said at a host of other grounds around the nation, too, with supporters eager to boost their clubs’ chances of making a strong start.

That’s even the case when their teams haven’t been able to display such spending power. Diehard fans young and old just love backing their clubs, especially when they’ve missed the matchday experience after a summer break of several months.
