Fans had to watch on from home for over a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but after restrictions were lifted supporters across the country have relished being back in stadiums with a number of impressive attendances this season.

It goes without saying there are a number of big clubs at this level and it’s not just on Wearside where attendances have swelled with seven League One teams averaging in excess of 10,000 spectators.
Here we look at the top 10 League One average attendances as we reach the quarter-way mark of the season.
