Diamond Sab Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The chairman has said that we have the potential to attract more home fans than Hamilton if we were in the top flight so I think that can still be the case but you have to remember crowds at all clubs are down due to a number of factors such as poor product,cost of matches,other attractions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondatheart Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Agree the price has to be dropped to around £16 for the spl and to £13 for the championship a tenner for first and second ...I think if we go up we could at least get back to 1500/1600 home fans with that riseing again if we ever make it to the spl . You have to wonder how is a club like Hamilton still running payin spl wages on around 400/500 home fans at games ...I do think a revamp of scottish football to the summer would make the the number of fans rise across the board after last weeks call offs surely they must be looking in to it .

You think we will get 1600 home fans in the championship ? Hope so mate but seems awfully ambitious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 We wouldn't get over 1000 home fans unless we were top half of the Championship and going really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC1878 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 We wouldn't get over 1000 home fans unless we were top half of the Championship and going really well. I agree. We've lost a lot of folk that won't come back no matter what. We might get a few extra bums on seats if we were doing well but not much. You just need to look at the Dundee Utd game. In the past that would have attracted a higher than average home support due to folk 'coming out for the cup' and a few neutrals but I think I'm right in saying that our support wasn't much bigger than what we've been getting in the league.

Tulloch Gorum Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Here's the average attendances and final league positions for every season we've been in the second tier since the club was reformed:2004-05 - 2,013 (5th)2005-06 - 1,426 (6th) 2006-07 - 1,425 (9th) 2008-09 - 1,347 (9th) 2009 -10 - 1,080 (9th) 2012-13 - 933 (10th) (from http://www.airdriefc.talktalk.net/)So there does seem to be a decent latent support in the town - some of those seasons were utterly terrible to watch, after all. I would hope that planning, knowing what division we'd be in, not being managed by Kenny Black etc. would help us to get a decent standard of football that would offset some of the genuinely lost support.

airdrieman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't understand the logic in dropping Watt rather than Fitzpatrick. Nor do I understand why we continue to play O'Neil at left - back when we've now signed one. To do well in this league, all you have to do is play your best players in their best positions and play simple but effective football. But yet we can't do this.

Diamondatheart Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Fitzpatrick is dire should never be in the team picks the wrong pass 90% of the time ,let's players jog past him and sky's easy shots miles over the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondatheart Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Watt should be starting with Hugo if Hugo's going to have the team built around him .i feel it was play them and see how it turns out but feel Fitzpatrick Is the one that will be dropped and as pointed out with him in the team we have bein nothing short of shite Barr the odd flashes of greatness..agree the changes from the Dundee game where a bit much and we should have stuck with the same team with only small changes being made.. Lister and prunty are lucky to last 70mins now due to lack of fitness and age but should start and are a stick on to bang a few goals in .in regarded to Alan love useing the club I think that's a bit much more a case of EwB tryin to find a system to witch suits his style of play with the players we have ---granted he has brought in enough players to witch we should be seeing improvements and I feel it's a matter of time till it clicks. once Macdonald is fit and takes the left back role and o'neil at right back the back line should be soild , cox /brown on the right watt & faria in the middle and Cadden on the left and rotation of lister ,prunty ,mackin and cox up front .that team should have us in the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
