The Earl of Hathaway Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 That was exactly my thought too. We need another stand! Talking to a St Mirren fan in work who was saying that Feegie Park (or whatever it's called) couldn't hold as many as we had on Wednesday night.... SPL rules, eh? Can't live with them and pass the beer nuts, as a great philosopher once said.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G SUS Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I predict there will be an overspill of Jags fans into one of the stands behind the goal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
read'n'yell Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 What I haven't seen written anywhere is that Wednesday proved knocking down the old stand and building two almost non-existent stands would be terrible for our club. If we reduced our capacity down to 8000 ish then nights like tonight won't happen. We may not need it every week but its definitely worth keeping for the game every season or two when it is filled. On a side note.. The one thing about the main stand I dont like is you can't really see the away support. Maybe I was just a bit bleary eyed.

Lenziejag2 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Fantastic last-gasp performance today by the Jags at New Broomfield! All four SFL1 matches today were away wins. Attendances were all very similar: Airdrie v PTFC - 1648 (and BBC Scotland reckons 1400 of those were Jags fans!); Morton v Dunfermline - 1634; Livi v Accies - 1607; and Raith Rovers v Cowden - 1574. C'mon the Jags! A win at home on Tuesday and the party will start for real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy1967 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 a draw shall dae it..mo'n the mighty Jags! what a season! No it will not a draw will mean it is still mathematically possible, If we lose all last 3 games after a draw at home to Raith and Greenock win all 3 games by 5 or 6 goals a game then they will be champions ! I right and pigs will fly lol !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Airdire have been pretty dire all season, but that was about the smallest home support of any team that I've ever seen Thistle play against in a league match. There couldn't have been more than 250 spread around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 14, 2013 Members Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Pretty sad to see how crowds at Airdrie have dwindled so badly. Apart from the Section B nonsense, they always brought a big noisy support that created a great rivalry between the Clubs and that has to be missed. Likewise games against Clyde. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag2 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The four SFL1 fixtures yesterday grossed an attendance of 6463. It should also be noted that SFL2 champions QoS attracted 1806 to their local derby against Stranraer - a better attendance than any of the SFL1 fixtures! Much more worrying is the fact that the SFL3 fixture at Ibrox pulled in 44453 punters, against a total of 34109 for the Scottish Cup semi-final and all the other SFL1/2/3 games!

Apparently the 44,453 at the bottom league game was inclusive of season ticket sales - which given the number of empty (vacant?) seats perhaps indicates that self-delusion is fading except in the eyes of those who claim false attendance?

ian_mac Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Lenziejag 2, why are you so shocked and worried by Sevco's attendances? They shouldn't really be of concern to us. 1. They are not your typical 3rd division team. 2. There are strong allegations being made about them and Celtic "massaging" attendance figures. 3. I don't really have a third point apart from, who cares? Sadly, Sevco will always have greater attendances than us. It may not be fair, but it's a fact.

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I was going to say 6000ish but the poor weather, probably small away support and not being school holidays will hurt that figure. Anything over 5000 would be great. I will go for 5,132! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Jag Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 4,963 at Firhill. Guess that should be our usual attendance next season in the SPL. I´m sure people would settle for that. Unless we are bottom from the very first day of the season. Or that we make a Caley and stay top six all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
