West Brom's average attendance at The Hawthorns now compared to 10 years ago | OneFootball

Comparing the average West Brom home attendance this season to the 2014/15 campaign

West Brom have made a strong start to the new Championship season.

Carlos Corberan recently celebrated two years as manager of the Baggies, and his team are firmly in the mix for a top six finish in the table in the early weeks of the campaign.

Albion came fifth in the table last year, but were eliminated from promotion contention in the play-off semi-finals by Southampton.

Supporters will be optimistic for the rest of the season, as the club eyes a return to the Premier League for the first time since 2021.

Attendance at the Hawthorns will also be important in their push for a top two or top six finish, with the home fans needed to help the team get over the line.

Here we compare the average attendance at West Brom’s home games compared to 10 years ago in the 2014/15 campaign, with figures taken from Transfermarkt…

West Brom’s average home attendance 2024/25

West Brom have played six home games so far this season, but their form at the Hawthorns has held the team back in their push for a play-off place.

The Baggies have won just twice, earning victories over Swansea City and Plymouth Argyle, with their last home win coming on 21st September.

Corberan’s side have drawn three and lost one at home, with the defeat coming against Middlesbrough on 1 October.

During these six fixtures, West Brom have averaged a home attendance of 20,644, putting them ninth in the table for support.

The Hawthorns has a capacity of 26,850, so Albion haven’t quite been able to sell out tickets for their games.

While they have still attracted a solid crowd to cheer on the side, the average figure is almost half that of league leaders Sunderland, who are averaging 40,738 supporters at the Stadium of Light this season.

Elland Road is the only other ground in the Championship with a greater average than 30,000, with 36,274 turning up for Daniel Farke’s side.

Corberan will be hoping that the attendance rises as the season goes on, but the best way to ensure that is to turn around their form and keep the team in promotion contention.

West Brom’s 2014/15 average home attendance

West Brom were competing in the Premier League during the 2014/15 campaign, with Tony Pulis taking over the team by January of that season after Alan Irvine had initially been in charge.

Pulis led the team to a 13th place finish in the table, with Albion earning seven wins from their 19 games at home.

The Midlands outfit had the 14th best home record, and averaged an attendance of 25,064.

It was their fifth season in a row in the Premier League, and is the highest average attendance figure they’ve had in the last decade.

Returning to the top flight would be the easiest way to recapture that figure in the short-term, which new owner Shilen Patel will surely be keen to achieve.

However, it shows that even in the top flight, the club struggled to fill their home stadium completely, meaning more work will still need to be done to get everyone through the turnstiles every week.
