"Thanks to moving from Upton Park to the London Stadium, West Ham have theoretically gained the most fans over the past 10 years. Their gates have risen by over 27,000 on average since 2015-16, although a large section of the Hammers fanbase still regret the stadium switch. While the London Stadium has a far higher capacity than Upton Park, it doesn't have a modicum of its charm."
"Of the clubs that haven't moved into a new stadium, Coventry have seen the biggest growth in attendances over the past 10 years. Back in 2015-16, the club was playing in League One and faced an uncertain future under their previous owners. Thankfully, those problems have been resolved and Coventry are now averaging 30,054 fans in the Championship - the highest of any side in the second tier."
"Thanks to the various redevelopments which have taken place at Anfield, Liverpool's average gates have grown by over 16,000. In all likelihood, they will continue to expand the stadium over the coming years with the demand for tickets always high at Anfield."
English football clubs have experienced substantial growth in average attendance over the past ten years, driven by various factors including stadium relocations, capacity expansions, and improved league performance. West Ham leads with a gain of 27,543 fans following their move to London Stadium from Upton Park, despite nostalgia for their former ground. Tottenham similarly benefited from their new stadium, gaining 25,136 fans. Among clubs without new stadiums, Coventry achieved the largest growth of 17,484 fans, rising from League One struggles to Championship prominence with 30,054 average attendance. Liverpool added 16,483 fans through Anfield redevelopments, with continued expansion planned due to sustained ticket demand.
