Championship attendance table ranks stunning turnouts for Birmingham City, Coventry City, Southampton & rivals

The Championship is one of the most competitive divisions in Europe, let alone just in England, so it comes as no surprise that the level of support for its 24 teams is very strong.

With the October international break now underway, every side bar two has now played nine matches - either five at home and four away or four at home and five away - and over 2.3 million spectators have already arrived through the turnstiles, averaging out at 22,092 per game.

For comparison, and this is taking into account the 60,000+ capacities at Manchester United, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal, the mean figure in the Premier League is 41,791 per fixture.

The commitment, dedication and enthusiasm of fans supporting teams in the English second tier simply cannot be overlooked, particularly so given the standard of play is worse than in the top flight.

But which sides see the most substantial turnouts week in, week out? As per data from Transfermarkt, here's how all 24 clubs compare for their average home attendance.
