As statistics show, ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz can boast the highest average attendance in the entire league. Also on the podium in this ranking are CELLFAST WILKI and INNPRO ROW.

After almost thirteen rounds of METALKAS 2nd Extraliga (the seventh-round match between INNPRO ROW Rybnik and ENERGA WYBRZEŻE Gdańsk has been postponed to 03.08), we can already summarize the attendance at the second level of competition in Poland.

When it comes to the average number of fans attending their team’s match, it is the highest in Bydgoszcz. ABRAMCZYK POLONIA has an average attendance of 6800 spectators. In second place in this ranking is INNPRO ROW Rybnik, which boasts an average of 6700 fans per match. The last club with numbers above six thousand people per game is CELLFAST WILKI, attracting 6050 people to their performances. It is also worth mentioning Rzeszow and Ostrow Wlkp., where live speedway is watched by 5500 and 4458 fans, respectively.

The ranking of total attendance at METALKAS 2nd Extraliga stadiums is similar. ABRAMCZYK POLONIA again takes the first place. This season, over 40,000 people have already visited the Municipal Stadium named after Marshal Józef Piłsudski in Bydgoszcz. The podium is also closed by INNPRO ROW and CELLFAST WILKI, but this time the latter is in second place, having attracted 36,300 spectators.

An important aspect to consider when calculating attendance in the stands is stadium occupancy, as each has a different capacity. The stadium in Rybnik can accommodate the most fans, filling up to an average of over 53%. The stadium in Krosno can accommodate the fewest spectators, but it fills up to 86%, which is the best result in the entire METALKAS 2nd Extraliga. Behind CELLFAST WILKI are Bydgoszcz (57.53%), Rybnik, and Poznań (49.93%).

Where and when was the highest attendance recorded during a single match? The most fans gathered at once in Rzeszów during the derby match with CELLFAST WILKI Krosno—11,000 of them. Fewer, but still many fans came to the match in Rybnik, which also faced CELLFAST WILKI. Back then, 9,000 people filled the stands.

In summary, 226869 fans have already sat in the stands of METALKAS 2nd Extraliga in the 2024 season, and this number is still growing. The average per match is 4827 people.
