Geographic scope/catchment of your club's fanbase

How the hell have you managed to split Dundee?

The stadia happen to not be in the same place, just very close together. If you draw a line L between the two centre spots, take the midway point between them and then draw the line perpendicular to L that goes through the midpoint, that's the border between 'people nearer Dens Park' and 'people nearer Tannadice'.

It's just a geometric  happenstance that the borderline splits Dundee so that more people are on the Arab side of the line than the Dee side.

In an idle moment of procrastination, and using the last Scottish census data and a bit of python scripting with postcode longitudes and latitudes, I worked out what the nominal team supports in Scotland would be if everyone in Scotland was a decent upstanding football fan who supported their geographically closest team. It does seem somewhat related to this thread so I'll drop it here. Essentially the 'Locals' column here denotes the number of people for whom that row's team is their geographically nearest, notwithstanding some approximations due to consolidated postcodes...

I didn't know what to expect, but it turns out that Hibs and Hearts, as well as Partick Thistle, St Mirren and Queen's Park, are the biggest losers from the gloryhunting proclivities of the OF fanbase, and it turns out that wee Elgin City has a moral claim to more supporters than Rangers. Who'd have thought?

Wonderful research AimHere !   The type of thing that reminds you why P&B is a cut above !

....and the Cove **** have just given us a great excuse not to be regarded as the poorest supported club per catchment area any more.

I think what this means is that, once we’ve given a few more free tickets to the school kids, Livi should have a support somewhere between Rangers and Celtic? If we could get to 10% of that, so home crowds of 5-6k, then I’d be delighted.
