How the average Welsh Premier League attendances line up with percentage of area population

Barry Town United, Caernarfon Town and Llanelli Town may get the biggest crowds in the Welsh Premier League, but are they well supported when other factors are taken into account?

The Welsh Premier League has a mixture of teams from a number of cities and towns, with populations differing from one spectrum to the other.

Connah’s Quay Nomads on Saturday reached a record crowd of 1086 in their history-making semi-final fixture against Edinburgh City.
