Top 8 EFL League Two stadiums with the lowest average crowds in 2025/26 | OneFootball

FLW has looked at which fourth tier clubs are currently struggling to attract strong crowds

With just under a third of the League Two season still to play, all 24 clubs in the division still have plenty to play for.

As was the case in last season's fourth tier, the race for League One football either through the desired route of automatic promotion or the post-season drama provided for the play-offs continues to heat up ahead of the final regular-season matchday on May 2nd.

Meanwhile, it is still undecided as to which two sides will be dropping out of the English Football League entirely and into the National League, as only a handful of points currently separate the two clubs inside the relegation zone and those looking precariously over their shoulders.

The landscape of League Two, though, has always been intriguing when it comes to the overall mix of clubs based on their overall histories, recent fortunes - both good and bad - and their ambitions to make their way up the English football pyramid in the years to come through successful and sustainable models.

There are currently two previous Premier League sides currently residing in the division in the form of Oldham Athletic and Swindon Town, whilst four sides, including the Robins, boast stadiums with a capacity in excess of 15,000.

Unsurprisingly, and rather controversially, it is MK Dons who have the grandest facilities in the league in terms of stadium size, with the Buckinghamshire side's Stadium:MK able to hold 30,500 spectators, although the club have become the subject of ridicule due to their actual attendance figures in relation to said capacity.

However, with the campaign nearing the crucial run-in stage, Football League World have looked at which current eight teams in League Two have the most empty stadiums in the division according to average attendance figures from Transfermarkt.

8 ? ? Copperjax Community Stadium - Bromley

In eighth place on this ranking is the Copperjax Community Stadium, also known historically as Hayes Lane, the home of Bromley.

The Ravens were promoted to the EFL for the first time in their history just two years ago, and are now looking at a remarkable promotion up to League One, where they could potentially be welcoming clubs such as Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City to this part of South-East London.

The aforementioned stadium is believed to have a current capacity of 6,100, and has averaged a figure of 3,648 so far this campaign, which is still a fairly modest number.

That is also caveated by the fact the stadium has been the subject of redevelopment in recent times, with the club also opening the new George Wakeling stand in February.

7 ? ? Broadfield Stadium - Crawley Town

In seventh place is the home of Crawley Town, the Broadfield Stadium.

It has been a difficult return to League Two for the Red Devils, as they have been unable to mount a push for the play-offs after being relegated from League One after just a solitary season last May.

Whilst the Sussex club are sandwiched inbetween two Premier League outfits in the form of Brighton and Hove Albion and last campaign's FA Cup winners, Crystal Palace, they have averaged a crowd of 3,538 so far this season.

That is still over half of the stadium's current capacity, which is said to be at a figure of 6,134.

6 ? ? The Peninsula Stadium - Salford City

In sixth place on this particular ranking is The Peninsula Stadium - also known as Moor Lane - which has been the home of Salford City since 1978, but has been massively redeveloped within the past decade.

It has been well-documented that the Greater Manchester club have strong associations with the 20-time Premier League champions, Manchester United, with Red Devils icons Gary Neville and David Beckham providing a much-needed cash injection into the Ammies last summer.

Despite their ambitions, Salford have been unable to make the step-up into League One since becoming an EFL club back in 2019, suffering play-off heartbreak back in the 2022/23 season.

At present, they still have one of the smallest stadiums in League Two, with the Peninsula currently able to facilitate 5,108 spectators, with the average figure sitting at a number of 3,039.

5 ? ? The Exercise Stadium - Harrogate Town

The Exercise Stadium - also known as Wetherby Road - is the home of Harrogate Town and is also the smallest stadium by capacity in League Two for the current 2025/26 campaign.

Like a handful of other sides on this list, the Sulphurites only became an EFL club for the first time in their history back in 2020 after defeating Notts County in the National League play-off final, and have since kept hold of their status despite a lack of resources in comparison to several divisional rivals.

Coming from an area of North Yorkshire which attracts plenty of Leeds United supporters, Harrogate have still been able to fill over 50 percent of the ground's current 5,000 capacity, but it is still the fifth-lowest average attendance figure in the division at present with a figure of 2,943.

4 ? ? SO Legal Stadium - Barrow AFC

In fourth spot on the list of lowest average attendance figures so far this season in League Two is the division's only Cumbrian outfit at present, Barrow AFC.

It has been well-documented that the SO Legal Stadium - also known as Holker Street - has a unique outlook due to the mismash of various stands in place, which has almost made it a 'must-visit' for supporters of divisional rivals and 'groundhoppers' looking to complete all 92 professional stadiums.

Due to the club's geographical location, it has been known that it is a challenge attracting players to sign for the Bluebirds, who currently train in Manchester during the week as a result.

It is also a challenge for them to attract a high number of supporters despite the stadium's overall capacity of 6,500, with current average figures residing at the 2,787 mark.

3 ? ? The Hive - Barnet FC

Barnet were able to regain their League Two status after a seven-year exile in the National League at the end of last season as champions. The Bees have not been in relegation danger at any point of their first season back in the EFL, and will also be eyeing potential back-to-back promotions if they can sneak into the play-off places at the end of the campaign.

Despite carrying such momentum, the North London side haven't been able to attract strong crowds to The Hive this term, with the stadium, which controversially opened in 2013 despite being in the borough of Harrow as opposed to Barnet, only averaging figures of 2,731 in the 5,176-capacity ground.

With that being said, Barnet do also face the challenge of trying to 'compete' with local superclubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea when it comes to attracting a newer generation of loyal supporters.

2 ? ? Highbury Stadium - Fleetwood Town

In second spot when it comes to the emptiest League Two stadiums is Highbury, the home of Fleetwood Town.

The Cod Army have been back in the fourth tier for two seasons after their lengthy spell as an established League Two side came to an end, and that has seen attendance figures at the 5,327-capacity ground take a hit as a result.

So far this season, the Lancashire club have averaged crowds of 2,718. Although this figure puts them so far down a perhaps unwanted list, the aforementioned figure still means Highbury is narrowly over 50 percent full on matchdays throughout the campaign.

1 ? ? The Wham Stadium - Accrington Stanley

However, the emptiest stadium in League Two for the 2025/26 season is The Wham Stadium of Accrington Stanley.

In a similar context to Fleetwood, the Lancashire outfit enjoyed four seasons as a League One side for the first time in their history, which saw clubs such as Sunderland become regular visitors and, subsequently, packing out the away terrace.

However, in the three seasons which Stanley have played back in the fourth tier, such figures have been scarcely matched, and whilst the stadium is one of the smallest in the division, the average gate of 2,240 may be somewhat concerning to the hierarchy, who will hope to push the club forward once more in the coming seasons despite financial restraints.
