North British 2 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 4 hours ago, WATTOO said: In 2011 and 2012 in the Championship / old Division 1 our average home support was under 1,300 and in 2019 it was a couple of hundred less than now, so in real terms we've actually increased the crowds by a good few hundred over the past few years. It wasn't that long ago that we had dipped under the 1,000 mark for our home gates so we're actually doing pretty damn good at the minute, especially in the middle of a cost of living crisis where a day out at the Football is far from cheap. If we also take into consideration the illegal streaming and TV choices etc, then again I'd say we're doing great and it looks like it's only going to get better so You'll not find me moaning about our crowds, that's for sure... I also think Camerons Bar has helped with the gates . I also think the new stand , with coverr over the noth bank terrace will add even more . That's if we are still in about the top end of the league . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I think prices dont help. £20 and above for our league is too much when so many people are struggling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home support is around 35% higher than last season and growing Edited January 10, 2023 by Finlay21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually wouldn’t make sense in any regard for us to sign him. He’s decent technically but he’s completely powderpuff and I don’t see him being up to this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 On attendances, on Saturday it was announced as 1900 odd. I looked into the main stand which look around 75-80% full, which would be around 1000. There’s no chance you’re then telling me there’s only around 900 across the NT and SR. I don’t know if season tickets aren’t included or something, but there’s been a few games this season where the official attendance has been a lot lower than what has actually been in the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, I did comment to my mates out on the NT just before kick off that it looked like we had a very good support, having said that, Hamilton didn't have many at all but still thought we'd be around the 2,100 mark for home fans alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NT wasn't exactly empty but it was hardly rammed. Coupled with Accies shitfucking with choice of halves, the SRE was also probably less busy than it's been for a while. That said, I got waved through the turnstiles at the Dundee game because the scanner wasn't working, and I imagine this is fairly commonplace. Presumably the gates currently go by the scanners and not be turnstile rotations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
