As measured by percentage of the local town population who regularly show up for home games:

1. Castleford, UK (pop. 67,000) around 10%
1. Townsville, Australia. (pop 143,00) around 10%
3. Perpignan, France (pop. 102,000) around 8%

Of course Port Moresby, PNG would win easily if it had a big enough stadium, which it clearly does not.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

143k and 102k, isn't that quite large for a 'town' ?
