Football League World looks at all 72 EFL stadiums, ranking them from smallest to biggest.
The EFL is home to varying stadiums in terms of size, condition and atmosphere.
Across the Championship, League One and League Two, you'd think the bigger stadiums were in the higher division, but is that really the case?
Here, we look at all 72 grounds from across the three tiers, investigating who has the smallest ground and who has the biggest ground.
Claiming the number 72 spot with the smallest stadium in the English Football league is Bromley, with a modest capacity of 5,000. Narrowly missing the bottom position is Harrogate Town, hosting just 21 more fans than Bromley. Salford's Moor Lane follows, continuing with Highbury Stadium, the home of Fleetwood Town. Rounding out the 5,000 clubs we have Barnet, Accrington Stanley and Crawley Town, who miss out on breaking the 6,000 mark by just 93 seats.
The stadiums that follow are Barrow's Holker Street and Cheltenham Town's Whaddon Road. The following teams have all reached the 7,000 mark, starting with Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium in 63rd place and Stevenage's Broadhall Way. Cambridge United have the largest capacity in this section with their home, the Abbey Stadium, hosting 8,024 fans.
