'Steve Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Probably more of our fans than Brechin's at the game. No probably about it. Brechin's core home support these days is about 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So, you're talking easily 750-1000 away fans going to this. I don't see the relevance in mentioning the home support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It seems you've taken it upon yourself to take offence at this when the Brechin fan doesn't even seem fussed. In the whole spectrum of PnB posts it was reasonably relevant, people were talking about attendance figures and he mentioned the away support was likely to outnumber the home one. Probably to give some context as to what a good support it's likely to be, seems reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 No probably about it. Brechin's core home support these days is about 300. Is it? I thought your attendances were about the 700 mark? I don't see the relevance in mentioning the home support Refer to Grant's post. Summed it up better than I could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Large Pars support, new season. What could go wrong? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parslad Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Large Pars support, new season. What could go wrong? :-( You've got me thinking of Hamilton away under Stephen Kenny. First game of the season, huge support, full of optimism. No relevance to this week but brought back memories of a fuckin awful day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Steve Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Is it? I thought your attendances were about the 700 mark? Average attendance last season was 552. Once you take away support into account it probably gives you an average home support of 400. There seems to be a general apathy amongst some supporters just now for some reason, they seem to think Dods has a magic wand and can instantly replace the quality we lost during the summer and immediately get results on the park.

Don't know the population of Brechin but as it's a small place 400 seems a decent enough crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relevance to this week but brought back memories of a fuckin awful day Aw Jesus, that was bad. Pretty sure they had to open half of the stand at the side as well to accommodate fans? That season everyone was pretty confident we'd cake-walk it and we finished 5th. Now where have I heard that one before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd to population ratio is probably the best in Scottish Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the relevance in mentioning the home support HTH. And yes, yes really. Fairly easy sums to get your head around here. DAFC. thought that Brechin had an average support of around 700, DAFC. in turn thought we will bring at least 750, as such his expectation that we'd outnumber the home support seems reasonable. Pretty simply tbh. I've only ever passed through Brechin on work and the place is absolutely minuscule, the crowds they get for the catchment area they have is fantastic.

It's frustrating as there are genuinely folk who support the team who have just fallen outta habit ( I know it's same with other teams ) I blame Jeff Stelling ha ha! Too easy too sit at home now. We d a fantastic season last year but crowds still dropped although we took decent away support to games by our usual standards I felt ....

smpar Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 That Hamilton game was a fucking nightmare. I'm pretty sure they only opened 2 turnstiles for about 2,500 away fans. Sol Bamba was one of 3 or 4 consecutive red cards at the start of that season IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Bamba was one of 3 or 4 consecutive red cards at the start of that season IIRC. Bamba was an unused sub v Hamilton but you're right he was one of 4 consecutive red cards for us in the league. Phil McGuire v Hamilton, Stephen Glass v Morton, Bamba v Livi and Scott Morrison v Stirling Albion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I remember Mark Burchill scoring that day? Was such a pisser. Even my Dad was excited for the new season and drove me and my brother through but we were pish. Not as bad as losing at home to Morton the next week. Or Murdoch's howler against Hacken. Or losing 3-0 to Stirling, 5-0 to Hamilton, 4-0 to Livingston... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
