As measured by percentage of the local town population who regularly show up for home games:
1. Castleford, UK (pop. 67,000) around 10%
1. Townsville, Australia. (pop 143,00) around 10%
3. Perpignan, France (pop. 102,000) around 8%
Of course Port Moresby, PNG would win easily if it had a big enough stadium, which it clearly does not.

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 |

143k and 102k, isn't that quite large for a 'town' ?

If you knew anything about the ry you live in and are always big-noting then you would know that the 2006 census gave Townsville a population of just over 143,000. 
You don't need your mother to take you to the library to find this out. Just use Google in the way that the people at Centrelink taught you. |

The Castleford ground could not hold the 13,000 odd locals that you must fantasize as attending every week. |

The 2001 census is nearly 40,000.
Based on the fact that our average attendance is currently 8,000 which gives a percentage of 20%, I think that is where he got his figure from.
Obviously, that will now be distorted due to population increase and from your figure gives a percentage of 12%, not 10% |

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. |

A number of factors distort those figures. For example, you have to account for Sky TV, appeal of match, success of the side currently playing etc. That is nowhere near representative of the actual people that could potentially go.
As for Cas, we played Quins at home and got over 7,000. Therefore at most it will be 6.9k or 7k than 6.5k as you incorretly put. |
