Lichtielegend Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think taking a mean average doesn't give the best representation of crowds. Results can easily be skewed by derbies and big games and the other way with long distance midweek games. I would argue a median would be more appropriate.

Cowden Cowboy Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Cowdenbeath's population is nowhere near 18,500 - more around the 11,000 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Cowdenbeath's population is nowhere near 18,500 - more around the 11,000 mark Can only assume the village's around about have been included in the higher figure, aside from maybe Kelty?

Aidan Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Can only assume the village's around about have been included in the higher figure, aside from maybe Kelty? Apparently it includes Lumphinnans, Lochgelly and Hill of Beath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Well there is no sense in including them - every club can throw in surrounding villages and towns to increase their population. As an ex-anorak who has done this calculation over the years - you need to get the exact population of the town to do this properly. My recollection is that there are only two clubs off the top of my head where that shouldnt apply - Ross County who are clearly a club representing a whole county not just Dingwall and East Fife who were expressly founded to be the club of the Levenmouth communities - Leven, Buckhaven & Methil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Interesting that the stats back up my claim that our crowds are actually fairly poor, and Montrose/ Forfar have had good crowds this season considering their far smaller catchment area in comparison.

PELE Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We would be top of the list if the correct population figure is used. Not so sure about this season though. Maybe mid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Can't beat a good crowd w**k! Just wondering if anyone who is good with figures could work out the percentage crowds based on each towns population? How about crowds vs distance from the old firm?Crowds vs disposable incomesCrowds vs number of golf clubs nearbyCrowds vs prices at the local cinemaAnd most importantly crowd number per league point.

[emoji23] Well said How about a crowds where the game isn't against a local team but isn't against a team too far away where the fans think they might still win something but not too certain that they'll win something when the weather is nice and when nobody might be on holiday or when no big local events are on that will stop people going number? Averages are averages There's obviously gonna be hunners of variables for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Which is a bit silly as mentioned by CC. Lochgelly's a separate town for a start! It was copied from someone who done it in January, their reasoning was that they were all classed as Cowdenbeath on the 2011 census or something like that.

More bollocks Simon, we have the best supported club in Angus and have shown our potential, no other club in Angus would/could have taken that support down to Stirling = FACT. Also Farfirs and the Hedgetrimmers crowds tonight combined was 1,600 in MASSIVE games for both clubs with no major fitba on the box = PATHETIC.
