Clubs with the highest average attendance this season

Fans in football are always the biggest asset of any football club. Passionate football fans flocking to the stadium not only boost the morale and support of the team but also increase the revenue that the club generates. The increase in the numbers in attendance helps the club with ticket sales and also sales of merchandise. It greatly boosts the revenue generated by the club and that also helps them to build profit.

Moreover, a packed stadium creates an atmosphere which can match no other sights. It acts as the 12th man of the home team and also puts pressure on the opposition teams. It is one of the most electrifying sights that we can see in football. The chants, the tifos, the boos and jeers create a psychological advantage over the away team.
