Now there's a revelation. In order for one to know anything about one's motherland one must memorise census figures for each town.
I suspect Albert is the only one on these forums who knows anything about the UK.

Whitehaven must be in the mix. Population of 25,000 and average crowd of ~2,000 = 8%

I'd say so, IMO they should be cities, but you can't deny that Townsville is a town. |

But the population is only bout 40K and our average attendance is 8K so 20% is about right. |

Why is Townsville a town? |

| Quote: Alice's Phallus "I was refering to percentage of local town population who attend.
Of course the attendance will include visitors -- more from clubs that are nearby.
The best way to determine the percentage of the local town population who attend games is to average the attendance at Les Catalans and Harlequins matches each year, because they each bring less than 100 fans.
If I am not mistaken these teams result in a crowd of around 6,500.'"
I'm not totally convinced that averaging the attendance at two of the least attractive fixtures is "the best way". |

Hull 13,000
Rovers 9,000
22,000 out of a population of around 250,000 so somewhere around the 8/9% mark. For a reasonably big city and a sport competing with premier league football that is very good imo.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Of course Port Moresby, PNG would win easily if it had a big enough stadium, which it clearly does not.'"
What competition do they play in ? Alber , I mean Alice  |
