LargsTON Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 These figures are wildly inaccurate. Inverness have by some distance the lowest crowds in the league and I'm appalled that little Ayr are higher than us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The attendance figures can be skewed depending on which games are selected for TV on a Friday. This season every Fife derby had a 3pm kick off, whereas if one or two of them had been moved to the Friday night it would have brought the attendance down considerably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It would also be good to know attendances on the teams respective TV channels. All add match day revenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletar Spider Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 15 hours ago, Diamonds Are Red said: Where are you getting that Airdrie v Dundee Utd 3192 figure from? Because it's well out what it actually was. Dundee Utd sold 2200 tickets and there was way more than 992 home fans in the main stand. I was standing behind the goal, didn't look like there were more than 1,000 Airdrie fans to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Definitely seen a modest increase in our home support since getting back to Hampden. I’m hopeful that the community work and hopefully a good season can grow it further. Big game on Friday, but would say we had 1,500/1,600 in the home end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Put 11 donkeys (yes, real ones this time) on the pitch and we'll still have the biggest average attendance, by an absolute mile, next season. Shame we are shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The figures are wrong - for some. They are the same figures which are availble on Transfermarkt and it is shown that they have not captured every game.

DAFC. Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 You'd think having good attendances and the resources that, theoretically, should come along with that would translate in to success. Seems to do the opposite for us. We also do batshit crazy things like appoint Peter Grant as manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Are Red Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 9 hours ago, Skeletar Spider said: I was standing behind the goal, didn't look like there were more than 1,000 Airdrie fans to be honest. The main stand capacity is much higher than folk think - it's 3700, not 3k or even 2800 that the away stand is. So more often than not the home crowd looks lower than what it actually is because the fans are more spread out with plenty of empty seats visible. As said I respect that the OP can only go on what info is out there but the figure is wrong by 600 odd. A home crowd of 992 means a big drop of 400-500 from the usual 1400-1500. Even factoring in tv coverage that drop didn't happen. The home crowd was near enough 1600. But as said the OP can only go by the figures he has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The modern leper Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Airdrie seem to be getting a bad wrap when realistically they are 1 or 200 off the attendances of 60% of the league. We have a massive stadium which doesn't help what visually seems poor. I've watched and attended ict games which are vastly inaccurate and other fixtures which look suspect. Our away attendances are amongst the best in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pars average home attendance this season is only 694 more than Falkirk (5,444 v 4,750). This is despite us being a league below with almost no away fans coming along to TFS this season. This 4,750 would put us 3rd in the current Championship behind the Pars and United (8,408). Raith finished on a healthy 4,191. Think this could be a close run thing between the Pars and ourselves this season coming, especially given our season tickets sales will go up and away attendances will increase significantly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heid_The_Baw Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Never understood these crowd w**k posts. What does it matter at the end of the day? All I care about is I am a Raith fan, and I attend the games with my family. That has the effect of them NOT going to follow the arrse cheeks in Glesgae. Size of the crowd does not reflect on how well a team are doing or not. Its more to do with the demographics and catchment areas. An example of demographics would be Livingston. Slap bang in the middle of Edinburgh and the Weeg. Town created for the overspill of Glasgow. Therefore a high percentage are obviously followers of the arse cheeks. Then another relatively high percentage will follow the Edinburgh pretendy arsecheeks. Also the fact they WERE an Edinburgh side (Meadowbank Thistle who also had a shit support), moving to a new town, they have no chance of getting decent crowds. And if you want more proof? Rovers beat Dunfermline 5 times this season. Dunfermlines crowds are still relatively higher than the Rovers. Rovers ran Dundee United close for the league most of the season. Dunfermline were touch and go for a while near the relly playoff, but bounced back to mid table mediocrity. Dunfermline have a bigger cathment area, and it is growing. Dunfermline is the fastest growing TOWN in Scotland population wise and house building wise. So that will continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It’ll be interesting to see Livingston’s crowds next season especially if they don’t bounce back. No idea what their finances are like but Martindale always seems to plead poverty these days. Could they go the way Accies have? They’ve done well over the years to stay up in the top level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
