The first twelve games of the season in League One produced an aggregate attendance of 148,878 at an average of 12,406 per game.
With games at Sunderland and Watford still to go the opening weekend of the EFL will end up with an aggregate attendance of about 460,000. Yet, if on Saturday evening you watched BBC television or looked at the "front page" of the BBC football website, you would barely notice the EFL even existed.

Particularly impressive given the rail strike.
I noticed yesterday there was no BBC Final Score, or BT score. Absolutely shameful.

It has been very noticeable how much less exposure the EFL gets on the BBC website over the last 10 years or so. There's more headlines about other European leagues than there are headlines about EFL clubs. I assume this is to attract clicks from overseas visitors.

Totally agree, You use to be one click away from all L2 News/Results etc which were on the main football page, Now it's "Hidden" behind the "Leagues and Cups" tab and honestly the keeping updated with news of lower league teams is abysmal, Stories on there for weeks sometimes.

Its the 'gossip' column that I notice. Very rare to spot speculation about one English player possibly moving from one English club to another...
