It is well known that football is nothing without the fans, a new study has compiled a list of clubs with the highest average attendance in the 21st century. 

During the peak of the covid pandemic, fans had to watch football without a crowd, the supporters were replaced by banners and there were added background noise on TV coverages in order to give viewers a more authentic experience.

And it was during those times that we all realised how important a crowd is for a team trying to win. There were more away wins than ever when games had to be played behind closed doors. 

Liverpool had lost six games in a row at Anfield having not lost a single game at home in almost two years.

Fans have a huge impact on football, when a stadium is packed full of supporters, the atmosphere is second to none, it gives the home team an extra lift before and during the match. And most importantly, it can strike fear into the opposition. 

A study conducted by PopFoot shows a list of 40 clubs with the highest average attendance in the 21st century. 

The Premier League has 10 representatives in the list, including the likes of Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal.

Having an average of over 76,000 when the full capacity is 81,365 just shows how well supported Dortmund are, their fans are eager to be there to support their team week in week out.
