“50% of Blues fans have below average intelligence”

Sorry to go AnE on you, but that’s probably not true. Below median intelligence, probably.

Which also means 50% have higher than Median so should equal out ?

I don't think that is quite right.
There will be a proportion of exactly average intelligence, so the proportions above and below won't equal the total.
With a classic Bell curve the group scoring 100 should be the highest number of people so unless we are using 110% as the base (the bare minimum effort) we shouldn't expect 50% above and 50% below the line.

It is not clear though that Blues fans are a subset of people identical to the general make up of the population, so it is possible that the average for Blues fans is 98 or 102 or similar*.
It is also the case that people can score significantly different scores on different days. Also given the IQ test is norm rated your score can be adjusted in relation to other scores (if for example a particular test turned out to be easier or harder than expected).
