With league business put on the back burner for many clubs during November as they chase cup glory, we took the opportunity to look at and rank the biggest league crowds recorded in Tier 3 so far this season.

Unsurprisingly, Nottingham Forest’s clash against Derby at the City Ground takes the top spot with an impressive crowd of 4,443. The attendance at the East Midlands derby is so impressive in fact, that it not only broke the league record, it’s greater than the total of the rest of the top 10 combined.

A little further down, Wolves and Ipswich Town dominate the rest of the highest-ranked spots, with the two sides occupying seven of the top ten places between them.

The Tractor Girls and their loyal Blue Army feature the most of any team with five appearances in the top 25, followed by Wolves (4), Derby County (3) and Southampton (3). A total of eleven teams make the cut overall.
