Football League World ranks all 24 Championship clubs on how full their stadium has been this season
Championship clubs up and down the league enjoy varying numbers in terms of stadium attendances.
There is still plenty to be decided in the second tier, with Coventry City, Middlesbrough, and Ipswich Town among those battling for a spot in next season's Premier League.
Meanwhile, financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday have already been relegated from the Championship, and clubs such as Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion are hoping to avoid joining the Owls in League One next term.
There are also plenty of eyes on the play-off race, which includes Wrexham, who are vying to become the first ever team to win successive promotions all the way from the National League to the Premier League.
As both ends of the Championship table heat up, Football League World ranks all 24 second-tier sides based on the percentage of their stadium that is full, according to data from Transfermarkt.

Along with Leicester, Blackburn Rovers are former Premier League title winners who have fallen on tough times and are instead scrambling against the drop to League One.
The Lancashire outfit's struggles have been reflected in the fact that their average attendance has filled just 44.5% of Ewood Park, while many fans remain disgruntled by the Venky's ownership.

Wednesday's nightmare season hit rock bottom last month when they were relegated to League One thanks to a 2-1 defeat to fierce rivals Sheffield United.
Before the Owls were plunged into administration earlier this term, and when they were still under the failed ownership of Dejphon Chansiri, the South Yorkshire outfit were subject to stadium boycotts.
Consequently, Wednesday's average attendance this term equates to 57.0% of Hillsborough's capacity.

Preston North End are among several Championship clubs with an outside chance of landing a play-off spot.
The Lancashire side's average attendance fills 71.9% of Deepdale, which is a lower percentage than all but two of their second-tier rivals.

Charlton Athletic are vying to stay in the Championship following last season's League One play-off success.
Nathan Jones has steered the Addicks to some crucial results, including two wins over Sheffield United, while The Valley is 74.4% full on an average matchday.

Swansea City are set for a relatively uneventful end to their Championship season, as they don't have play-off credentials or serious relegation worries.
The Swansea.com Stadium was sold out when co-owner Snoop Dogg was in town for their recent draw with Preston, but their average attendance has equated to 78.2% of their capacity.

Wrexham boast the bragging rights in terms of how full their stadium is over fellow Welsh side Swansea, as the Racecourse Ground's average attendance equates to 80.1% of its capacity.
Meanwhile, the Red Dragons would be Wales' highest-ranked side if they clinch promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.

Middlesbrough are firmly in the battle for automatic promotion to next season's Premier League.
However, the Riverside Stadium's average attendance makes it 80.9% full, ranking 18th on this list. It is worth bearing in mind, though, that Boro's stadium is one of the largest in the second tier.

Stoke City have seen their play-off aspirations slip away this season, but could still land a top-half spot in the Championship for the first time since being relegated from the Premier League in 2018.
The Potters' average attendance fills 81.5% of their stadium.

Ipswich's recent victory over Hull City dented the Tigers' chances of winning automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Sergej Jakirovic's side look set to compete in the play-offs, and their average attendance is equivalent to 82.3% of the MKM Stadium's capacity.

Derby County have done remarkably well to put themselves in the Championship play-off conversation in their second season since winning promotion from League One.
Rams supporters fill 83.2% of Pride Park on an average matchday.
