Championship attendances: How Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Sheffield United, Burnley and Rotherham compare to rivals plus brilliant fan gallery

Sheffield United and Middlesbrough are among the best supported sides in the Championship.

Blades fans have enjoyed plenty of great moments already this season with Paul Heckingbottom’s side top of the table, despite a recent dip in form that has resulted in one point from the last nine available.

Middlesbrough supporters have not had an enjoyable season so far with the club battling at the wrong end of the table. Boro are still on the hunt for a new manager after Chris Wilder’s sacking.

Rotherham United’s attendance is one of the lowest in the division but that owes much to the size of their stadium. The Millers’ home ground has an average capacity of 83 per cent – the sixth best figure in the second tier.

Hull City’s attendances have been on the rise since the takeover of the club earlier this year while Huddersfield Town feature in the top half of average home attendance.

But how do those attendances compare to the rest of the second-tier?

We’ve taken a look at the latest data from Transfermarkt to find out, as well as bringing together some of the best and most memorable images of supporters from all 24 Championship clubs.
