The Championship Stats

Last updated : 19 August 2008 By Tony Scholes

In subsequent weeks these stats will appear either on the day, or the day after all the games have been completed. They will show the biggest wins and highest scorers of the day, the highest and lowest attendances along with the next set of fixtures.

There will also be lists of the Championship's leading scorers along with each club's total of red and yellow cards, a total that was significant for Burnley last season.

The stats from the weekend games are below:
