Newcastle United attendance figures compared to Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and more

This season hasn’t quite gone to plan for Newcastle United but on-pitch misgivings have done little to quell support. Match-going fans have continuously flocked to St James’ Park every other week and filled it almost without fail.

Such has been the demand for seats that Newcastle fans have been surveyed regarding potential expansion as the club’s new ownership look for ways to increase revenue. St James’ Park was among the Premier League’s largest stadiums when it was expanded in 2000 but has since been overtaken by some more modern offerings.

It means that despite selling out virtually every week, Newcastle still have some way to go before asserting themselves among the best-attended hosts. Below, using data from Transfermarkt, NewcastleWorld has taken a look at the 30 highest average league attendances - see where the Magpies rank.
