FOOTBALL CLUB ATTENDANCES (2006)

'Football club attendances (2006)': The table below displays the highest football club attendance averages for all regular seasons concluding in 2006. Regular seasons are also known as "home and away" seasons. These figures have been drawn from domestic and superleague competitions. However, continental championships, such as the UEFA Champions League, have been ignored, as these lack a true regular season. Only those clubs achieving a home attendance average of 45,000 plus will be displayed in this list, to be updated annually.

It spans all the world's major football codes, which include:

Football (Soccer) premierships

American Football, whose flagship is the NFL

Australian Rules Football, whose flagship is the Australian Football League (AFL)

Super 14, plus other Rugby Union competitions from around the world

Other football codes, such as Arena Football (US), Gaelic Football and Rugby League.
