Leeds United’s Average Attendance Ranking in the Championship Revealed
Leeds United has been impressive in the Championship this season, currently sitting at the top of the table. However, when it comes to average home attendances, the Whites are not the leaders in the second tier.

Sunderland Takes the Top Spot
According to Transfermarkt, Sunderland has the highest average attendance in the Championship, with an impressive 38,546 fans attending their home games. This is likely due to the club’s large following and the capacity of the Stadium of Light, which can hold up to 48,707 spectators.

Leeds United’s Attendance Figures
Leeds United comes in second, with an average attendance of 36,181. While this is an impressive figure, it’s worth noting that Elland Road’s capacity is 37,645, which means the stadium is often near full capacity.

The Impact of Attendance on Performance
The attendance figures may have had an impact on the pitch, as both Leeds and Sunderland are currently sitting in the top two spots in the home form table in the Championship. The energetic atmosphere at Elland Road and the Stadium of Light may have contributed to the teams’ impressive performances.

Future Plans for Elland Road
Leeds United has plans to enhance Elland Road, which will increase the stadium’s capacity to around 53,000. This will not only allow more fans to attend games but also bring the stadium in line with UEFA Category 4 status, putting it alongside elite stadiums in Europe.

The Unique Atmosphere at Elland Road
One of the concerns about the planned enhancements to Elland Road is that the unique atmosphere of the stadium may be lost. However, the club has stated that it is committed to maintaining the atmosphere that makes Elland Road one of the most intimidating stadiums in the Championship.

The Importance of Fan Support
Fan support is crucial for any football team, and Leeds United is no exception. The energy and enthusiasm of the fans can have a significant impact on the team’s performance, and the club’s plans to enhance Elland Road are likely to be welcomed by the fans.

The Championship Attendance Table
Here is the current Championship attendance table, according to Transfermarkt:

1. Sunderland – 38,546
2. Leeds United – 36,181
3. Derby County – 29,083
4. Sheffield United – 28,038
5. Coventry City – 27,241

Conclusion
While Leeds United may not have the highest average attendance in the Championship, the club’s fans have been impressive in their support this season. With plans to enhance Elland Road in the works, the future looks bright for the Whites, and the fans will likely continue to play a crucial role in the team’s success.
