Hibs 15,165
Aberdeen 12,351
Dundee Utd 6,846
Dundee 6,181
Falkirk 5,212

Very good figures for Hibs. Promotion a must to keep this going.

And Utd as well to be fair to them. Presumably Rangers are #goingfor55 thousand?

Four of the eight behind the bigot bros are championship sides. So that makes the SPL behaviour on splitting the play off money amongst themselves look pretty silly. A 16 top league looks more sensible by the day. Scottish football outside the top five attendances is knackered. I know it's run to suit the bigot bros and Celtic are loving their free entry into the champions league but the football is desperate so we should at least look at getting the likes of Dunfermline and Falkirk into the top flight.

Also how disappointing is the dons figures considering they are second. Makes their proposal of a new stadium seem Walter Mitty like with no likelyhood of Celtic being challenged for the title for quite a few years.

They are second, but Celtic are likely to set a world record winning margin this season.

Incredible average from us so far, all things considered. We'd also have been comfortably the 3rd highest there too if we'd had home games against Celtc, Sevco and the sheep.

Just highlights how much we need to get promoted this season.

[Sir David Gray]

Four of the top ten sides in that list coming from the Championship which means that half of the Premiership sides are averaging less than 4800 at their home games!

One of those teams being St Johnstone, it shows what a great job Tommy Wright is doing there when they have such a small support.

[1van Sprou7e]

Surprised at how low Aberdeen's numbers are

Very true SDG. The Chairman is the main reason for success in a constant basis in recent years. Stability and no panic changes. It works. Organic growth.

Don't forget Hibs, Dundee Utd, Falkirk and Dunfemline don't have the pleasure (?) of having Old Firm visits during the season to inflate home attendances.

[Billy Whizz]

Not really, when you add in the recession up there, and the fact that they haven't had a great season

[dangermouse]

We also have to consider that if you want to watch Hibs this season you have to go to the games as none of our home games have been televised IIRC.

Well what about the Dundee United match?

I watched in in Malaysia on Alba.

... and a cup final.

[Diclonius]

More proof we need a bigger top league. You won't get 4 OF money spinners though, so forget it.

[James70]

Three Championship clubs in there and several Premiership clubs not quoted!

Think they are divided on McInnes, believe it or not

That's mental. Not long ago they were serial bottom 6ers like us pre relegation, sacking McInnes is the first step to heading back down there.

Oops, meant to say three OTHER Championship clubs there! :embarrass

[dangermouse]

OK, one home match and one more scheduled but nothing like the number we would have if we were in the premiership. My point, therefore, still stands :greengrin

I don't know how much the OF do inflate attendances. The second home matches against the OF are usually televised at crap times, and many fans, particularly those with kids, prefer to watch at home rather than subject them to sectarian 'singing' and chanting.

We've had crowds from 9-11 against the OF at ER in televised matches, and had 14.5 k v Ayr on Saturday.

Assuming we go up this season, I'm willing to bet that the first match v Sevco at Easter Road is a sellout. :greengrin

I think that agentscotland published them on Twitter the other day. I just lifted straight from that.

Our average for 15/16 was less than 10,000 and now its over 14,000 ............... how many clubs in the whole of Europe, barring some clubs promoted to their countries top division, will have increased their crowds by a third this season?

59.1% increase!

what would are crowds be like if we invested in a team that could challenge Celtic?

It ends up the same as Celtic and Rangers, once you sell out you can't get any more in!

Hertz sell out every week but you can still get more in:wink:

Who are " the we " you are talking about ?

And the money to be invested, does it come from Club creditors, tax bills or charities ?

Increased gate money and merchandising

dream a little.........

[A Hi-Bee]

Attendance on Sat at Ayr game was pretty amazing with a freezing cold day thrown in, we as sometimes happend proceed to produce the worst 45 mins I have witnessed in many a day, if and it is always a big if we can keep winning and then get a really good team on the park for the higher division then the crowds will increase, good winning team on the park equals more people going to watch.

Dream a lot - you need about £30m a year every year to challenge Celtic.

10000 to 14000 is 40%

[Ringothedog]

10000 to 14000 is 40%

9300 to 15200 is over 60%, stats taken from ihibs

[jgl07]

9300 to 15200 is over 60%, stats taken from ihibs

I have 9,339 up to 14,858

That equals (14,858 - 9,339)/9,339 = 59%

Not really a true reflection though as the "average" is only for a small amount of games in each season

[JackLadd]

I think the Yaks have more away fans and include their non showing season holders. Maybe we're third? :agree:

Good spot - on the iphone neglected to scroll... I did find the stats for their first year odd tho - reckoned they played only once. What a crappy table?!
