Leeds United's Championship season may have ended with a whimper, but their supporters will be in full voice once again ahead of their play-off semi-final against Norwich City this weekend.
The Whites travel to Carrow Road in their first leg encounter before welcoming the Canaries to West Yorkshire four days later. Daniel Farke led his side to a third place finish in the table, taking four points from their final six games.
But despite their recent poor form, Leeds fans have continued to back the team in their numbers. Having picked up 37 points on their travels this term, it has been Elland Road where they have enjoyed most of their success, having the second best home record in the division behind Ipswich Town.

And that backing has seen the Whites rank among the top average attendances in the Championship this season. But how do Leeds rank against their second tier rivals this campaign?
When looking at the statistics, United rank second in the table with an average of 35,989 fans packed inside Elland Road every week. The only side to trump Leeds' average attendance is Sunderland. The Black Cats boast the ninth largest football stadium in England and averaged 41,158 spectators for their home fixtures.
Leeds' promotion rivals Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town all feature in the top five. Sheffield Wednesday proved to be the only anomaly having finished three points outside the relegation zone, yet still managing to average 26,762 fans at Hillsborough.
