    After reading a bit about darlington fc recently and seeing as they have such a low average attendence of around ~2000 and a capacity of 25,000, thats roughly 8% of capacity ever week.

    I was wondering whats the worst club for average % attendance of capacity?
    Not including stadiums that are used for national teams (and small clubs call it their home but it was primarily built for the national team) or primarily other sports.
    At first I was thinking the U.S. but the worst team was dallas in 2009 with just under 50% with 9,883 average attendance in a 21,193 capacity stadium.

    Queens Park play at Hampden Park. I think it is originally their stadium and I cant imagine them filling it out too much.
    Stadium capacity is 52,000. Average attendance is 750 according to wikipedia

    Yeah just saw them there, that must be really weird supporting them.
    £2 for a student ticket. Dont think youll get a better price for a stadium that size anway
    The team just above them is has a pretty bad % as well
    Stranraer fc av attendance 528 capacity 52500 4.5%[/B]http://itv.stats.football365.com/dom/SCO/D3/attend.html

    Woah :eek:

    Definitely worth getting to a game next time I'm in Scotland, I think. Hampden Park for £2! The Scottish Football museum and stadium tour too, could be a good day out.

    Quite an interesting club. Back in the growth of football at the end of the 19th century they were the biggest club in scotland and winning leagues and trophies for fun. When the game started going professional they abstained and remained an amateur side (which they still are) leaving the pro sides of Celtic and Rangers to dominate Scottish football

    About 9% in Tolka, going with an average attendence of 900 this season and a capacity of roughly 10,000. Was over 10% last season afaik.
