The 8 loudest stadiums in EFL League Two named and ranked by AI | OneFootball

Football League World has asked ChatGPT to rank the loudest stadiums in the upcoming League Two campaign

The 2025/26 season is just around the corner, and League Two looks set to be one of the more intriguing competitions in the EFL.

The further you head down the pyramid, the smaller the grounds get, which often makes for a compact, loud atmosphere unlike anything else seen in the football league.

With Bradford City’s 15,000+ attendance figures finally back in League One after six seasons in the fourth tier, there’s room for a new leader atop the atmosphere charts, but it’s still an incredibly difficult list to judge.

Therefore, Football League World has asked popular AI service ChatGPT to rank the loudest stadiums in the upcoming League Two season to see who really has the upper hand when it comes to creating atmospheres in the fourth tier.

8 Wham Stadium - Accrington Stanley

We, surprisingly, kick off the list with the side who averaged the lowest attendance in League Two last season, as Accrington Stanley’s Crown Ground (or the Wham Stadium to some) comes in at number eight on ChatGPT’s list.

The AI service states that this is due to loyal local backing in a ground which can only hold 5,450. In this case, and a few others on this list, a smaller, compact crowd can really create an atmosphere.

And you can’t deny that away end for some incredible noise, with arguably the best away limbs of the 2024/25 season coming during Tranmere Rovers’ 3-3 comeback draw in April.

Bristol Rovers are venturing into a season in League Two for the first time since the 2021/22 season, where they averaged around 7,500 in terms of attendance. If they keep around that number, they’ll automatically be among the highest in the fourth tier this season.

Also, despite relegation from League One, Bristol Rovers were still able to bring in consistent gates of 7,000+, even reaching over 8,000 and towards 9,000 towards the back end of the season, so expect something similar as the Gas now switch from a side battling near the bottom to one near the top.

Chat GPT also stated that loyal travelling fans heading to the 12,000-capacity Memorial Ground help create a lively atmosphere for all, so you’d expect that each of the 23 games played there this season will be ones to remember.

As seen with Accrington Stanley before it, smaller grounds often make for great, loud atmospheres, and there aren’t many smaller in the 92 than Harrogate Town’s Exercise Stadium.

Chat GPT described Harrogate’s crowd as “small but fervent,” and it’s this passion which helps ‘The Town’ remain above the drop zone season upon season.

And it reflects in their results too, having beaten promoted duo Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City at home last season.

Simon Weaver will be hoping that a solid home atmosphere can see his side remain in the EFL for a sixth straight season in 2025/26.

5 Boundary Park - Oldham Athletic

Plenty of neutrals are happy that Oldham Athletic are back in the 92, and fans of League Two clubs will be looking forward to heading back to Boundary Park this season.

AI believes that the former Premier League ground offers an old-school, echoing setting that can amplify chants, even if the crowds are small, and in games such as their play-off eliminator win over Halifax Town, where they pulled in over 10,000, it can create an incredibly intimidating atmosphere, reflected in their 4-0 win.

Micky Mellon will be hoping that this atmosphere can be sustained throughout the 2025/26 season as they aim to make their stay back in League Two last a little longer than just one season.

Chesterfield’s first campaign back in the EFL after six seasons away saw them fill 77.6% of their 10,600 capacity stadium en route to a play-off finish under Paul Cook.

For many, it was a long time coming for The Spireites back in League Two, and the excitement was reflected with the third-highest average attendance in the entire division, with 8,146 through the gate on average.

Their home support is loud, but ChatGPT believes that the away following to the SMH Group Stadium helps enhance Chesterfield’s atmosphere even more, hence the fourth-placed finish here.

From the third highest average attendance in last season’s League Two campaign to the second, Notts County places third on this list.

The world’s oldest professional football club know how to make an atmosphere, despite playing in a stadium which is half full some of the time, due to a capacity of over 19,000.

That capacity does give room for attendance to explode over their 9,745 average of last season, however, with numbers reaching as high as 15,000.

AI describes the atmosphere as “traditional”, and sometimes keeping with tradition is best - or in this case, third-best.

2 Prenton Park - Tranmere Rovers

Prenton Park was the third-largest ground in League Two last season, with a capacity of over 16,000, but Tranmere only brought in an average of 6,208 through the gate.

Despite the low attendance compared to how large the ground is, those who do attend every game at Prenton Park know how to make some noise.

Tranmere is known for having an incredibly vocal Kop End, and AI describes the matchday atmosphere as “raucous.”

Last season was one to forget, finishing 20th in League Two. But if the form on the pitch can improve, this ground will once again be rocking and proving why it is ranked number two on this list.

Blundell Park takes the crown on this list of the best atmospheres in League Two, with Grimsby fans able to sell out nearly two-thirds of their tickets each week on average.

Their total capacity ranks near the middle of the pack when compared to other fourth-tier sides, but this compact and airtight crowd makes for a truly incredible atmosphere.

Additionally, AI states that the atmosphere is always intense, even when the crowds aren’t the largest, so when they are, there aren’t any better in the fourth tier at making noise than Grimsby Town.
