But Ross County's fan base isn't exclusive to Dingwall, otherwise they'd be called Dingwall FC or something. They represent the Ross and Cromarty area, which has a population of 50,000.
Exactly what I was going to point out. Places like Conon Bridge and Maryburgh are right next door and County probably have the largest catchment area (geographically) of any Scottish Club. I even know County fans as far north as Durness as technically it's the nearest senior team. I'm sure a lot more houses have been built around Dingwall since 1991 too.
As mentioned in a previous thread after some Raith fans started slagging our gates, Brechin probably have the smallest catchment area / fan base of as the nearest places of any reasonable size that aren't tiny villages or farms are two places called Montrose and Forfar which you may have heard of
