lionel hutz Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Is the revamped format bring in crowds? There was a decent crowd at Arbroath last night. Bold denotes Live TV. Friday 15th July Airdrieonians 0-1 Partick Thistle - 1,632 Cove Rangers 1-2 Raith Rovers - 362 (Match Played at Forfar) Arbroath 1-1 Dundee United (3-5pens) - 3,124 Saturday 16th July Albion Rovers 0-0 Greenock Morton (3-4 pens) - 431 Annan Athletic 1-2 Stranraer - 418 Ayr United 2-1 Hamilton Accies - 994 Clyde 1-2 Kilmarnock - 1,303 Cowdenbeath 1-2 Inverness CT - 487 East Fife 1-1 Dundee (4-2 pens) - 1,407 Elgin City 1-3 St Johnstone - 1,046 Forfar Athletic 2-2 Dumbarton (6-5 pens) - 426 Livingston 2-3 St Mirren - ??? Montrose 0-1 Ross County - 557 Motherwell 0-2 Rangers - 6,951 Queens' Park 0-2 Queen of the South - 410 (Played at Airdrie due to Beyonce Ultras) Stirling Albion 1-0 Falkirk - 1,315 Some really poor crowds there, only seven crowds over 1000. Hopefully they'll improve over the course of the competition. Really poor at Cowdenbeath, Ayr and Albion Rovers. Decent turnouts at Arbroath, Stirling Albion and East Fife.

accies1874 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Probably around 200 Accies fans there today (at the very most). I thought that was poor (only because it was the first game of the season at a ground we've not been at in years), but today reminded me of why attendances are so low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersRyan084 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Our home ties should be between 30-40k(ish) but apart from that the attendances will be poor for the group stages and I struggle to see many non-rangers ties being above 10k without Celtic and Hearts at this stage. Doubt there will be enough Dundee Utd fan interest in this stage either to get their attendances above that mark either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home game against Cowdenbeath will be 4000-5000 and about 2000 more for the Pars game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks for starting this thread, seeing as the BBC have decided not to bother writing up individual reports and attendances for group games.Is there anywhere I can see highlights for group games?

CALDERON Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Out of the 350 at our game I'd say 300 were Rovers fans. Hardly anyone from Cove there. Decent support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 318 poor b*****ds there today. Fair enough. Didn't look like it. If it wasn't for the guy falling asleep in the River Cottage (and his pal having to stay with him), it would've been up to a respectable 320. Poor show from them.

BFTD Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The Beeb appear to be finding it more and more difficult to cover up their apathy towards British football outside of England. The Rangers game getting a match report is unsurprising, but why would they send a boy to the Macaroni Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I know this is that I get 17.5mpg, f**k scotrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
