| Quote: classycas2009 "This is based on a Average attendance V's population.
Ive had 3 bets with a friend.
1st We are the best Supported V's Population in the U.K
2nd We in in the top 3 Worldwide best Supported V's Population
3rd Top ten best supported V's population in both Rugby codes Worldwide
:Attendances must be a Average and not a 1 off
:population must be the town/city were the team plays
The bets came across with a agument over our attendances, then I stated that Cas are probabally the best supported team in the world V's population, he laughed that off then we made these 3 bets.
If not yet shown my friend this yet, but heres a link for Attentance V population figures in 2006 even thou are population asnt grown since then are attendances are up from then.
If populations were the same Crusaders would be third on that league.

| Quote: Drachen Feuer "The Green Bay Packers could have a good case, I think.
They sell out their 72,928 capacity stadium every game, and the city has a population of 101,203. (226,778 including the Metropolitan area)'"
but of course that points to the flaw in the calculations. not everyone who supports the packers comes from or lives in green bay, so calculating as a proportion of the population is moot. |

We've already discounted that argument as it can also be applied to Cas. |

In fact I don't think we're far off the equivalent of 10% of the Bridgend population being in the Brewery Field on a match day.
I know not all come from Bridgend but which club can claim to draw it's fan base solely from the town it plays in.

I dont think there is any doubt that Castleford are the best supported club on Earth. All the figures point to it......

Villa Park holds more people than the population of Aston. I think they win on that account when it comes to sport in general.
But the whole stat is pointless. As has already been mentioned, clubs' catchment areas are not exclusively the population of the name of their club. And on the flip side, an area might be too big to claim the full population as its catchment area. You cannot compare Castleford to Harlequins by saying "population of Cas vs London" as it is ridiculous. How big is London? Do you expect people to come from one side of London to the other?
It may just be a stat, but it is completely and utterly pointless for them two reasons.

They say when his playing days are over he may retire there to be the caretaker of Xscape.

But it is still the area the club is named after.
Castleford is technically in the City of Wakefield now. Do we use that population? |
