Jaggy1967 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 It was commented on by my regular buds that it didn't look good attendance wise 10 mins or so before the game, however our section did fill up to respectable standards but could not believe under 3K today. I blame the referendum ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Was very disappointing considering it was a scorcher (for mid September anyway) They had a poor away support but poor that we can't attract 3000 to a home game, in the top division, in great weather, against the top of the table.

ayrshire jag Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What wasn't included is the Ambassador Lounge and hospitality. Include them and crowd over 3,000. Very few down from highlands. The 3 home games so far , County, Accies and ICT will probably be the lowest away supports at Firhill, Well, Killie, Dons, Dee and United should all bring decent supports that will boost our crowds. Also think on Friday St Mirren will bring a fair number, hopefully today's result will bring out more Jags fans . Happy tonight with our performance and the win, would have bit your hand off for that result before the game. Happy days. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy1967 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Agree AJ with your points in particular todays result. Preverbial didn't see that coming type of result. Makes up for the Hamilton debacle, which as things proceed show they are indeed a tasty team and no easy beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clubs target is to get 5000 home fans through the gate. Last season St Mirren took 1600 to Killie. It's an easy game for them to get to and they historically take a good crowd down there. Today they took 657. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 3000 is no bad for inverness at home Disagree. In fact I'd say today's attendance was abysmal. Great weather. Playing a side that was top of the league. I'd have expected more Jags fans. Just maybe the referendum caper had an effect on turnout tho' I can't really see why it should have made more than a marginal difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabbath Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Attendance poor due to Inverness with no support. Top of the league and there's more yellow jackets than Inverness fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Nixon Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yes, let's blame Inverness for well less than 3000 Thistle fans turning up to a home game on a sunny, warm September Saturday 3.00pm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the 3 fewest travelling support all season in our first three home games. I'd suspect our home support figures are quite consistent all season, the only massive fluctuation being the travelling support. Anyway, I think we were due a comfortable win vs ICT at home judging on last year Boxing Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just curious. Why would that have an effect on our attendance?

jagfox Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I guess the low crowds have perhaps impacted on the ability to bring in any late signings too? Last season we had bumper crowds against United and Hearts and we managed to bring in Higgy between those games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meister Jag Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Referendoom aside, does the 3000 figure include kids? I know this has been debated before but can't recall if the official attendance figure is with or without the weans. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ross County had just over 3,000 so about the same as us - though they have had a terrible start. Hamilton will always have fewer supporters than us and Killie, St Mirren and St Johnstone don't have much bigger than us. It really looks like a lot of football 'fans' only want to see winning or big name teams (or in a few cases follow for reasons nothing to do with football) and many would rather sit in front of the telly than see a real game live. Which is a pity because though some live games can be very poor nothing beats the excitement (and roller coaster of emotions) of being at a good game watching the team you support. But fewer want to do that these days. 10 to 15 years ago we'd definitely have got close to 4,000 or more for a game against a top of the league club on a sunny day like we had. I'm not sure what the club or any club can do since the SMSM aren't interested in promoting any clubs but two. I feel that schemes like kids go free are essential though even if all they can do is stop us losing more supporters in future rather than increase what we already have. The only thing is we are not the only club losing support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devil's Point Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm not sure I'd agree that a sunny day should help the attendance. I'd of thought it might make a lot of people head for Loch Lomond or somewhere rather than to the football. I think it is wrong to watch football in good weather. Optimum conditions are darkness (floodlights), rain/snow, and freezing cold. Only then can a steak pie and bovril truly be appreciated. Was out for a curry last night with my St Johnstone supporting pal. He was telling me all about how it was to win the cup, but was still complaining about their crowds. St Johnstone have shown it is possible to play glamourous european ties and collect silverware without necessarily putting more on the average gate.

Charlie Endell Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Was it ever published (or rumoured) how many ST holders we have? Why is this such a closely-guarded secret? Bizarre. However you dress it up a sub-3000 crowd is really poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
