The Championship trailed only the Premier League and Bundesliga in terms of attendees, moving up from fourth the previous season, having finished above La Liga, Ligue 1, and Serie A in terms of combined attendance. Sky Bet League One also featured on the list in ninth, with 4,373,496 supporters watching games in England's third tier.
Nearly a quarter of a million people passed through the gates at Griffin Park last season as Dean Smith's side recorded a third straight top ten finish in the second tier. Only the three promoted sides plus Derby County, and Norwich City filled a higher percentage of their ground capacity on a weekly basis than The Bees over the course of the season.
