Notes:
Ignore top two clubs and bottom two clubs as being unrepresentative.
Yeovil and Boston both draw good sized crowds for size of town population base. It helps that they do not have competition in area. Mansfield, Shrewsbury and Lincoln also do well.
Macclesfield suffer from a smallish town population and although pulling in a better percentage figure than many other clubs, there is too much competition in the area to turn the large district population figure into a bigger crowd.
