does the population of the country or area where your club is based effect attendance

say if you were managing a team in germany and then northern ireland, will the number of supporters that go to your game be different.

also if your club is based in a more populated part of a country, based in london compared to derby for example.

Attendances are pre-set in database (well lowest possible, highest possible and current average is).

IIRC there is a population stat or something that the attendances are linked to, impossible to get 100k in an area with 50k people, etc

this changes over time, was getting 40000 with torquay they start with less than a quarter of that as their max attendance.

Northern Irish teams are lucky to get a few thousand at the games IRL so its not really a good comparising. Its nothing to do with the size of the country just the size of the league and the fact that England and Rangers/Celtic are close by takes fans away from Iirish League games.

Some regions get "not set" too. I've had on FM2010 65,000 attendance (after a long, long time and many CL wins) at st Mirren - and they have 70,000 population in paisley I believe, but it's just not set.

I don't know how strict it is though and there seems to be.. other numbers that I dont really understand. It's tough to know how it all works.
