Our average attendance is down hugely this season compared to last: http://www.worldfoot...ue-2013-2014/1/.
Notable that even the Highland clubs have overtaken us this season in ave. attendance.
Considering that Hearts and Hibs were 2nd and 4th in attendances last year, it's not unreasonable to think we've partially missed the away crowds those teams can bring, along with probably drumming up a bit more interest from our own fairweather fans. Having Hearts and Sevco in the league next season would help our thinning finances, like it or not.
Anyone who wants an "Old Firm-free" season ticket should consider if it would really be worthwhile, especially when our club is in dire need of all possible money from home gates. Seems a bit like cutting off the nose to spite the face.
