I think you're right. Islay saying 35 clubs, many of which we know are tiny. I'd like to make an estimate of average membership as low as 20 and that might actually be high so based on your club at 76 let's say an average of 30 per club - enough for a bus between two clubs and very, very generous IMO. A bus between two clubs would be 17 / 18 buses every away game and we know that's nonsense. Wasn't even that many at Inverness at end of last season.

So if we assume 35 clubs at 30 members per club it's 1,050, although really we all know an average of 30 is way over the top, it's difficult to see where the idea of thousands of members comes from. I actually want to estimate 20 per club which is 700 affiliates.

This info will be out there and any journalist worth the name should be able to find it.

I'd estimate that in reality DSA more than likely doesn't represent too many more individual Dundee fans than Dee4Life does.
