Quote ="Fully"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.
