How Norwich City's attendance v Bristol City compared to the rest of the Championship | OneFootball

We took a look at how the attendance at Carrow Road compared to the rest of the division

It was a disappointing Saturday afternoon for Norwich City this past weekend as they were defeated 2-0 at home to Bristol City.

The Canaries are struggling for form at the moment and haven't won a game since the beginning of October, so losing at home to Bristol City was far from an ideal way to finish before the international break.

The Robins scored through former Norwich youth prospect Anis Mehmeti and Nakhi Wells to take all three points back to the West Country, and while the away supporters who made the long journey across the country would have been delighted, the home supporters would have been dejected as they left Carrow Road shortly before 5pm yesterday.

Norwich City supporters have a reputation for being some of the most loyal and passionate supporters in the division, so we took a look at what the attendance was at Carrow Road, and how it compares to the rest of the Championship.

The attendance at Carrow Road for the game between Norwich City and Bristol City was 26,423, with 742 of those being Bristol City supporters, an impressive following considering the distance.

This was the fourth-largest attendance in the Championship for the fixtures on Friday and Saturday, and was more or less a sell-out, with Carrow Road having a capacity of 27,150.

Unsurprisingly, the two largest crowds in the division came at Sunderland and Leeds United, with the Black Cats bringing in a crowd of 43,374 for their clash with Coventry City, while the Whites had 36,011 in attendance as they dispatched QPR.

The third-largest crowd in the division came at Pride Park, as Derby County were held to a draw by Plymouth Argyle in front of 29,652, and that was closely followed by the crowd at Carrow Road.

According to Footy Web Pages, the smallest crowd in the division was the 20,268 in attendance at Vicarage Road on Friday night as Watford beat Oxford United, although data for Cardiff City's game with Blackburn Rovers was unavailable, and the number of empty seats at the Cardiff City Stadium suggested the attendance was lower than Watford, but that can't be confirmed.

Norwich City need to give their home support something to cheer about

The Canaries are struggling in the bottom half of the table, and while they have been hampered by injuries, the Carrow Road faithful will still expect better.

In fairness, while they have only won two games at home this season, Saturday's result against the Robins was the first time they had lost at home in over a year, but too many of those results have been draws, not wins.

Despite their unbeaten streak, two wins from seven home games this season isn't good enough for a club like Norwich, and supporters will expect better.

Their next home game comes against Plymouth Argyle at the end of November, and supporters will be hoping for all three points as they look to start moving up the table.
