This season marked the return of capacity crowds in English football for the first time in well over a year. From March 2020 until May 2021, the majority of matches were played behind closed doors, with just a handful of selected matches around the December period permitting 2000 spectators, before attendances of 8000 made a return in the final two matches of last season.
That meant that after a 17-year wait, Leeds United supporters were finally able to go watch their team live in the Premier League. And Whites fans certainly have not disappointed – turning up consistently in their numbers and backing the team, despite the frequent struggles on the pitch.
But despite having sold out each of their 19 home Premier League games, Leeds rank just 11 th in the division for the highest average attendance with 36,286. Manchester United, Arsenal, West Ham, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Everton and Chelsea have all averaged higher this season.
