City's average home league gate in 2009-10 was 24,755, the second highest at Carrow Road since the 1970s and better than their last three seasons in the Championship.
But the Leeds v Bristol Rovers game, attracting the biggest crowd in the division all season, took the Elland Road average gate to 24,817.
Both clubs were comfortably ahead of Southampton, who had the next best figure of 20,982. Charlton (17,407) and Huddersfield (14,608) were a distant fourth and fifth, respectively.
