How does Hartlepool United's attendance stack up against League Two rivals Bradford City, Swindon Town, Bristol Rovers, Tranmere Rovers and Carlisle United

Graeme Lee’s side were roared on by a sold-out home crowd in their EFL Trophy semi-final tie with Rotherham United with over 7,500 supporters in attendance – Pools’ largest in 15 years.

But it has not just been in the cups Lee’s side have experienced a strong backing from Pools supporters who have turned out in their numbers home and away all season.
