First time I saw West Ham was at Bristol City when Bristol City were in the top flight, 1~1, 1976.
Mashed, no Cornwall have never had a league club, Truro City were racing up the pyramid for a few years but they’ve stalled now.
Where’s the biggest place with the worse club and/or lowest attendances?

Could be argued that Wakefield and Poole are both in the metro areas of Leeds and Bournemouth, and so part of their catchment areas.
There are no league clubs in Cornwall, don't think there ever has been, either.

Bristol is the 5th biggest city in England and has never had a team in the top division.

Plymouth have never been in the top division
Southend and York dont have a league club
Wakefield and Poole have never had a league club

Before I read this I was thinking of responding with Macclesfield. I'm outside the stadium right this second, the gym I go to is at the stadium. They are getting 4k fans a game at the moment, with is the max Moss Lane can hold.

Yeah that's what I'm on about.
Apparently Yeovil is like that, almost everyone there supports them, although their attendance/population ratio isn't that high.
We're kind of the polar opposite, you get us absolutely everywhere.

I think you have to consider these
1. The diaspora of the town who left. I know a Burnley supporter who lives in Chester who goes home and away. Obvs, all clubs have this. West Ham’s is spread far and wide.
2. The glory hunting supporters who dont live in the town or city but do go occasionally or even frequently.
3. The day trippers.
Fervent local support depends on a lot if factors but non migrant communities might be a factor. Out or in.

This site say the population of Newham is 26000
https://www.newham.info/population/#/view-report/02f739e7687045b1acfe01816582ff3a/___iaFirstFeature
Really no idea, just thought a comparison for us would be interesting.

I always thought that Blackburn must have a high attendance/population ratio?
Can't imagine anyone from far outside Blackburn supporting them, surrounded as it is by so many other big
towns/teams?
