Here is a table of all home attendances in the Championship for the 24 clubs – and the table was compiled by soccerstats.com.
It’s interesting reading and notice Newcastle are top of all categories including average attendance, but also for the percentage of the stadium that is full.
Newcastle have an average of 50,526 and the capacity is stated at 52,404 which gives us a figure of 96.4% full.

Comment #1Would be interesting to see of the clubs we’ve played this season, how many of the highest attendances so far are when NUFC were in town.

Comment #4With regards to BandB’s earlier observations , I can only comment that if all of the type of posts that she is irritated by were eliminated from the blog then there definitely would be no blog as she has covered everything that is posted on here.
I am probably guilty of overdoing the stick I dish out to Welshie sometimes but he is first and foremost a Swansea fan and brings a lot of it on himself . Having said that I like his presence and light hearted posts. If she doesn’t want to read a sheep joke then it’s a simple process to bypass it. Football fans do dish out stick to one another.
As was pointed out earlier this blog was very busy during our realisation that Ashley wasn’t interested in running the club as a competetive institution but as an advertising board for Shyte Direct. During this period Bee was in her element discussing the club’s politics and condemning Ashley , using the blog as a platform to practice her debating skills and show off her excellent command of the English language.
Unfortunately for her and several others Ashley has taken a back seat and Rafa is doing a great job. There isnt much to whinge about and other than to enjoy our promotion push and dream of future success not much to discuss. Maybe this is why the blog is quiet at the moment.

Nice to see you again.
I would sell Lascelles if it meant Agero was coming in! All very odd news story and who is to say when a sale should or shouldn’t take place.

Comment #6On today’s NewsNow:NUFC, a post from a Cardiff fanzine about Saturday’s game.
If anyone is in doubt about the toxic damage Ashley has inflicted on NUFC read the statement referring to SJP as ‘sports Direct Stadium!’

Comment #7The post match contributions are also down by a great number, as someone else pointed out the other day/week. Those scientists that have just concluded that the human mind is more attuned to negative discourse had only to look in here.

Comment #8If I worked for MA I would be saying the running of the club was a matter of evolution, learning from mistakes and not being able to make an omelette. B#LL#CKS.
Well done all those who stood up and shouted. Well done to the man on the gangway who called MA out and ripped up his season ticket. Well done pardewout.com and all the other organised protests, including the coffin bearers. Well done to our own HWTF flurry of disgust and comradeship.
Long live Supporters.
Chancel be a fine thing

Comment #10Just to content on the actual blog post – the % full at Forest is very poor considering however many general football fans would consider them a biggish team due to past glories.
Similar at Burton – on average a quarter empty in their first ever Championship campaign. Mind you its only a few years ago that they weren’t even in the conference!
The attendance at SJP is remarkable. Can ever a relegation have been met so positively?
Going to be so interesting / exciting to see what we can achieve next year when Rafa has the full season at the premiership.

Comment #11There was a joker on talksport – one of the presenters ; Chelsea fan I think – bitterly insisting Leeds are a bigger club than us. (He digs at us every chance he gets by the way.) ‘On every level’ he claimed. Well, the usual attack is they’ve won more, but in Leeds’ case not even that is true. They ain’t. They are, like us, a single club city – bigger city in fact – but that’s where it ends.
So they finally sell out for a game – whoopy doo. Well done big boys. It may be 20k less than us but it’s that small for a reason. It’s also against us. If ever a chant of ‘you’ re only here to see Newcastle’ was justified, it will be at Elland Road, where the Man Utd scarves will be put away and the Leeds ones dragged out and dusted down for one game – then it’ll be back to normal. Big club? Dream on Leeds. Give me our wee club in the North East anytime. HTL

You referred to Sports Direct and among the stalls in a small, travelling market, there was one in the name of Sports Direct and using SD carrier bags.
I’ve no doubt that the brands on show were imitations but then again, the SD stall may well have been Ashley’s idea raising the brand’s profile overseas!

Whoops, forgot to mention that the market was in Kalkan, Turkey.
