This could be the first season for 40 years in which every top division club attracts an average attendance of more than 20,000. Swansea City’s average of 20,357 is the lowest, followed by Crystal Palace on 23,097. It last happened in 1973-4 when the lowest average was Burnley’s 20,364.
In the intervening period attendances dipped so that in 1983-4 three-quarters of clubs had an attendance below 20,000. Everton could only manage 19,343 and Notts County were below 10,000 at 9,463.
