European Attendances : 1990-91 to 1994-95

In the early 1990's attendances were averaging 6,000. The bad news was the average had dropped over the five year period from 6,500 to about 5,500 or about 1,000. The latter part of the 1990's did improve, as can be seen by looking at that article by clicking here.*

Wigan led the way with its successful side of the time. Leeds were not that far behind but they were well ahead of the rest. A dash means the team was not in the top flight for that season. That doesn't affect the average, as that is based on the years the team was at that level.
