    Amazing how well St.Johnstone and Hamilton to a lesser extent on such small supports.

    Would be interesting to see what home support averages is within these figures.

    Do these figures include the massive away supports brought by Aberdeen and Therangers?

    Yes

    I like how Celtic are pretending to have an average of almost 58000 people at every home game.

    Slightly annoying Murrayfield away supports have put them ahead

    Hibs average at Easter Road in league. 17,865

    Hearts average at Tynecastle in league. 16,699

    A far truer reflection of Attendances this season when you get rid of the Murrayfield factor.

    Incredible figures for Hibs and only likely to get better with a certain 18,000 plus against Aberdeen and a full house against the Yams to come

    For those of us lucky? enough to have followed Scottish football in the 80s and 90s seeing Hibs the Yams and Aberdeen all with averages over 15,000 in the same season is incredible, it would have been unthinkable back then.

    I find it amazing that folk in the press, TV and especially the corridors of power in Scottish football, folk who are supposed to have the good of the game at heart, and even more pertinently are supposed to be promoting and selling it, seem to be so quiet on stats like these. Its good news FFS and makes our game, at least on the surface, look in decent health ..... they should be shouting it from the bloody rooftops

    Stats like those would put Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen mid table or just below in attendances for the Spanish, Italian and French leagues ... three of the so called big 5 in Europe ... and in the top half of the Dutch and Belgian leagues as well. If you chuck in the Ugly sisters who would make a dent in the top 5 of any league in Europe with the crowds they get its unbelievable that we cant attract far more money into our game ... no wonder Barry Hearn was so bloody scathing

    Exactly. This is one of the main problems, ingrained it seems, within our game. Too many apologists too ready to put the sport down, or at the very least, look for the worst whilst ignoring the best. Stats like the above should be shouted from the rooftops!

    Agreed on the Barry Hearn point as well - It shouldn't be that hard to find someone with the same enthusiasm he has for darts, but for Scottish football.

    Finding someone is the easy part. Persuading the blazers to give up their power to allow him/her the power to make the necessary changes is the tricky bit.

    Great post. Those tossers at the GFA and the media establishment are throttling the game they claim to love. A fairer distribution of tv revenues would be a start, but as you point out they are just not interested even in reporting the upsurge in attendances. What other institutions would ignore the growth of key elements in favour of continuing to focus resources on two Neanderthal stuck-in-the-past businesses who peaked more than 30 years ago.

    Interesting. Thanks for posting this.

    With them including the Murrayfield attendances within their average attendance figures, although I understand them doing it, is a bit frustrating; and will probably be the only figures they look at. They'll have no reason to dig any deeper as long as they're ahead of us in these terms.

    Another thing worthy of highlighting,

    Since moving back to the PBS they've had three 'opportunities' to hit the 20,000 attendance mark with a home game against Celtic, and two home games against us - not one of those fixtures managed it.

    We've had Celtic, Rangers and Hearts each at home once this season. All three games where over 20,000. More over, Celtic and Rangers were within one week of each other, that's impressive by anyone's standards in Scottish football (outside Old Firm.)

    Aye if they count toilet seats, all the seats in hospitality, and their seats at home.

    It is strange how Edinburgh's 'Big team' haven't once managed to get a 20,000 crowd in their new '20,000' seater-stadium - no doubt the EEN/'All-is' will thoroughly grill Potter/Budge on this ............................................

    Or it'll be 'swept under the carpet' nice and quietly - just like everything else that doesn't paint them as the perfect, ground-breaking, nearly completely fan's run club that they are.

    Didn't they invent the concept of a fan's run club? In fact, didn't they invent football full stop?

    And they called our east stand a white Elephant .... Somebody needs to amend the Yams Wiki page, it states the capacity as 20,099 .. it clearly isn't or the big team would be showing far higher figures

    I'm still stumped as to why when they could have built a two deck 8,000 capacity stand for the same money using a cantilever design, they chose to build the super duper 'truss' stand with rubbish directors and press areas and no TV studio. Has anybody pointed out to Budge that if they had gone down the cantilever route the 'Sky View lounge' actually would have had a view of the castle

    Given the yam capacity to squander money would that not have been much more expensive than the tin bus shelter thing they did put up?

    Err Hearts had ZERO opportunities to hit 20,000 as their stadium doesn't hold that many.

    Wee team, wee stadium.

    There’s an equivalent thread on jkb about this.

    Apparently we only have decent crowds this season because.....

    We give away thousands of free tickets to kids
    Loads of us buy concession tickets that we’re not entitled to
    We report tickets sold whereas they report bums on seats
    etc etc

    They hate it. The amount of straw clutching is incredible. They literally just make things up, post them online and everyone else nods in agreement. It really is bizarre behaviour from them.

    Of course if anyone dares suggest that our crowds are good they are accused, again, of being vermin ****.

    Similarly, on another thread they claim that Farmer gets £500k every time we sell a player for a decent amount! Where do they get it from?

    I think they’re seething.

    Absolutely

    Considering Hibs, Hearts, Celtic and Therangers would all take a big away support which would massively boost their numbers

    Always enjoy a trip to East End Park, huge away stand. Would much rather they were still in our league as apposed to the likes of Hamilton.

    Makes you wonder what these figures would do with respect to invites to join the whispered about Atlantic League. Top 5 Scottish teams would be amongst the best supported from the half dozen countries being mooted.

    Yams would have the smallest stadium in this whispered about league. The shame of it...
    Of course the admittance criteria might be having a 20k stadium in which case they wouldn't be in at all.

    Approximately 112,000 people (and that word is being extremely generous to some of them) watching football regularly in Glasgow. Pretty impressive to be fair. Can’t be many similarly sized cities with figures like that. I mean there’s Manchester, but it contains the richest club in the world on one side of town and one of the most iconic clubs in the world on the other.
