Justifies why, with a half decent football team, we are very well supported.

Ah, but they are no longer in the league, so they don't count!
They are including the conference I think. Tranmere, Chester and Wrexham are all on that map.

Yeah, I think you're right. There is a dot over in Kent, must be Dover.
It looks like nobody lives in Norfolk or Cumbria as well.
Yes. And it will be fascinating, as always.
The most tedious man on the board and literally the only one on my ignore list. I can't wait for another lecture about how many people from Lancing pubs went to the Goldstone in the 60s.

This is indeed extremely interesting and encouraging.

A different kind of pasty
Not sure I understand the data.
If Birmingham City have 958,598 potential supporters in 2nd place, how come Villa, less than 1.5 miles away, can only have 406,088 and not even in the top 50 ?

Down to geography I imagine. From memory Birmingham is furthest south so everyone living to the south is nearest them, going north you have WBA, Walsall, Villa all infringing on each other's territory.
