Wor Flags have helped to create a wonderful atmosphere at St James’s Park this season and it is one of the contributing factors for the side’s recent resurgence.
There’s few stadiums in the world that can compare to a full and noisy St James’s Park – but how do their attendances this season compare to the rest of the Premier League?
With supporters being the heartbeat of football, something often forgotten in the modern game, here, using data provided by Transfermarkt, we have listed the average attendances of each Premier League ground so far this campaign to see which team have been best supported, and which sides have spare room to fill in their stadiums.

Norwich suffered yet another relegation this season with a hugely disappointing return of just 22 points from their 38 games this season. However, it’s clear that their fans backed them all the way this year. Photo: Julian Finney
20. King Power Stadium (99%)
The King Power Stadium has seen better seasons than this one, however, finishing 8th is not a bad return for the Foxes who will hope to increase that next year without the ‘distraction’ of European football. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
