Not that surprising. There are 172 more games in a championship season than in la ligaQuote:

In terms of average attendance the championship is below the bundesliga 2 and all of the top leagues shown there
The list for average attendance would be
Bundesliga
Premier league
La Liga
Serie a
2 bundesliga
Ligue 1
Championship
Eredivisie
Portugal
League one
Damn sight cheaper to watch games in a few of those leagues than the Championship.
To re-echo some other replies, the number of games and the number of bigger teams in the Championship cause that.Quote:

Take Newcastle out of the equation (watched by well over a million people over the course of a season) and the Championship drops to 4th in terms of total attendances.
