Reading's average crowd for their return to the third tier fell from last year's relegation campaign, however, it remains among the highest in League One.
The Royals' attendances at the Select Car Leasing Stadium have steadily fallen since relegation from the Premier League a decade ago, with average crowds of more than 17,000 in 2017 now just a memory.
Despite experiencing a first return to the third tier for more than 20 years, the average attendance has fallen by just 334 from last year's 13,449 to 13,115.
This was boosted by Saturday's turn-out of more than 18,000, the largest of the entire campaign.
It is also larger than that of the 2021/22 season in the Championship when the Royals averaged 12,852 after the COVID-19 disrupted period from 2019/20 and 2020/21.
Despite the figure remaining low by Reading standards, only four teams in League One averaged higher, with Bolton Wanderers and Derby County the only two sides to breach the 20,000-mark consistently.
Title-winners Portsmouth had an average of more than 18,000 while Charlton Athletic, who only finished above Reading on goal difference, averaged 13,481.
It is Reading's second-highest third-tier average, falling just short of the 2001/02 promotion-winning year which averaged 14,115.
