EPL clubs averaged 36,176 fans per game during the ’14-15 season, down just over 1% from last season, but still the second-best figure for the 20-team league over the last decade. Manchester United again led all clubs, with ManU’s average of 75,335 at Old Trafford relatively flat compared to ’13-14. Sunderland led all clubs in gains this season, up 5%. Aston Villa saw the steepest drop, down just over 5%. Three of the four lowest-drawing clubs -- Queens Park Rangers, Burnley and Hull City -- were relegated following the season (THE DAILY).
