99.9%: Newcastle United top the charts in telling figure from last Premier League season - But will be no surprise to fans

The good times are well and truly back at Newcastle United, and indeed, you could argue that they are better than ever.

Since the PIF-backed takeover went through in 2021, Newcastle United fans have been given a new lease of life, they've started to feel they have their club back, and they've started to believe again.

That belief has also been pretty well backed up by actual results, too. It kicked off with a miraculous survival bid during the first season, which was followed up by qualifying for the Champions League and a Carabao Cup Final.

The following season wasn't as great due to injury issues, but there was a 4-1 hammering of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League under the lights at St James' Park.

Newcastle brought silverware back to Tyneside

In the season just gone, Newcastle once again qualified for the Champions League but also brought silverware to Tyneside for the first time in 56 years after beating Liverpool to lift the Carabao Cup.

Fans are loving the new-look Newcastle, and that has shown in last season's attendance figures, as Give Me Sport have revealed that only West Ham United can touch Newcastle in terms of average capacity.

Newcastle and the Hammers boasted an average attendance of 99.9% capacity for the 2024/25 season, which speaks to the passion of the fanbase.

Newcastle will have no trouble filling a 70K-capacity stadium

With Newcastle looking to move stadiums to one with an increased capacity of up to 70,000, it definitely feels like a case of 'if you build it, they will come'.

At the bottom end of the table were Fulham, who just scraped into the 90% bracket with 90.7% average capacity. Chelsea were in the relegation zone too, just above Southampton. We can understand low attendances at Southampton - who would want to watch that? But Chelsea? The mighty Chelsea? 96.1%? Come on!

Most other clubs were in the high nineties, but the Toon Army were top of the pops. HOWAY THE LADS!
