Pretty good going.

"The Championship was the third most-watched league in European football during the 2016-17 season.

The Premier League tops the list with total attendances of more than 13m, with Germany's Bundesliga second."

That's not too surprising, look at some of the grounds in that league these days... Villa Park, Hillsborough, Stadium of Light, etc.

Been that way for years hasn't it? I seem to remember an article a few years ago saying the Championship had higher attendances than Serie A etc.

Can't really blame them to be honest. Have you seen their squad? I reckon Taylor Swift's "Squad" would give them a run for their money.

I know Derby used to get some good attendances. Circa 30 000 if I recall.

You look a bit like Ginola mate. You must pull so good when you go out.

They were trying to say we love the championship in England, on talksport. That's wrong imo. We love our clubs and go to watch them play wherever they are.
