I would say that the only away game that we took remotely close to 1500 was against Stirling, when I reckon there were even more there. Stirling's support wasn't too bad either which makes me think that the reported crowd of 2390 was wrong. There was more than that IMO. If you look at the attendances, most games have barely broken 1000 in total, with the match at Alloa at 1300 odd being the highest. The away crowd was affected that day because it was on the telly and it was pissing down. I don't think we'll take as many as 900 on Saturday, maybe around the 700 mark? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that be enough ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly relevant to Queens fans, however, you are spot on there re the Stirling attendance @ShaggerG. The stated crowd of 2,390 was nowhere near correct. As a sad statto I was following the tickets sold all week, the away stand I believe holds 1,291, there were virtually no seats left , I walked the length and couldn't see one available, the away terracing holds 650 and was also sold out, and we are told the home stand had many Falkirk fans on hospitality. So that takes the away Falkirk crowd to over 2,000. Again, as you quite correctly say, the home Stirling attendance was very good too, so where they got that attendance of 2,390 from beats me. I thought it was at least a 1,000 short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you drop the “of the South” from your name and put a Park after the Queens and get some fucker who is up there with the movers and shakers of Scottish football onto your board, otherwise you will get heehaw help like the rest of us minions.

The last time I was on it - Cup in 2015 it was like a skating rink with the moss on it. Wouldn’t think anything would have changed since then. I always find it funny people having a pop at TFS. Your ground in effect is 2 and half sides with a poxy little stand covering only about 50% of one side and a terrace that is crumbling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I would totally agree with you but TFS has been a totally different beast this season, the young team have got the place rocking, a winning team has also helped, it’s a pleasure going to the football again. I shudder to think what state Brockville would have been in 20 years on. Terracing that was deemed unsafe, a wooden stand that would probably have been condemned by now as well. We didn’t want to move, the stupid 10000 seater rule forced our hand. Edited October 31, 2023 by Harry Kinnear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
