I doubt many other Premiership teams can say they have such a high population to paying fan ratio.
We have a team called Sogndal (produced such players as Tore A. Flo and Eirik Bakke) here in Norway, they got relegated last season from the best division (but prob coming up again). They come from a small place with 6000 people spread out, with maybe 2-3000 living in the town itself.
Their average attendence is something about 2700. The first match in this season, in the lower division, they had 1800 people attending. So Im not that impressed by your numbers

And no, their side plays football more like Arsenal than Rovers.
