There aren’t many countries where the 2nd league even gets a mention,let alone regular crowds of 30k every week.
I think the English and German 2nd tiers are the best in Europe in terms of attendance. All the other 'big' countries (Spain, France, Italy etc) fall off a cliff such is the indifference to anything outside the top flight.

There are some very big clubs in Bundesliga 2 this season (Hamburg-Schalke-Werder Bremen-Nuremberg-Hannover-Dusseldorf), but the attendances don't seem that great - Covid restrictions, I imagine. https://www.transfermarkt.co.u For comparison... https://www.transfermarkt.co.u We have the 14th highest average attendance in the Championship, but we would be 7th in Germany this season.
3rd division for comparison. Devalued by 2nd teams. https://www.transfermarkt.co.u Kaiserslautern, Magdeburg and 1860 Munich hardly drawing the same crowds as England's fallen angels, Sunderland, Wednesday and Ipswich.

Magdeburg fans were the ones responsible for this which went viral quite a few years ago.
Cruel, but incredibly funny, and probably remains one of my favourite viral football videos I've seen down the years.
