St Johnstone dot count

[GreenCastle]

Will we see the largest home support of the season?

Looking forward to getting back to league action.

What’s the latest update ?

Well, we've only had one other game so far so it's a definite possibility.

Be surprised if it wasn't. 7 goals scored in our last game 😉

[Real Emerald]

Weather going to be cracking too, nothing better than a game in the warm sunshine 👍

Eight against Morton.

Seven was the game before that unfortunately.

[Torto7]

I'm looking forward to this. Porteous to return. I'm expecting a big performance. We've got a chance to get some momentum going now.

No more injuries please!

I think he means seven for us.

5 at one end, 2 at the wrong end.

[tonyrougier123]

This game is selling very well.

Surprised no one has done a dot count on this thread.

Also surprised the south has yet to open for home supporters.

Lots of seats left in the home stands particularly the Famous Five.. We will be doing well to break 16,000.

Has there actually ever been a gate where people pay? Always wondered.

[Hibbyradge]

Has there actually ever been a gate where people pay? Always wondered.

Of course there has.

Fairly recently too.

Pay at the pod 😉

[SquashedFrogg]

I'm maybe younger than I think. I can only think of turnstiles. Or is that classed or known as a gate?

I should really just have googled why a gate is referred to 😀

[FilipinoHibs]

Has there actually ever been a gate where people pay? Always wondered.

In the pre 90s it was the most common way of getting into the ground. In 1988 I paid £3 at the gate to see Hibs vs Aberdeen with Archiebald playing for Hibs having signed from Barcelona where he replaced Maradona. That is the equivalent to £8 in today's money. How times have changed.

[Billy Whizz]

It was pay at the gate at Stirling Albion this season

Memory isn't as good as I assumed 😀

Apart from at Easter Road yes loads of grounds and not in the very distance past either.

[SquashedFrogg]

I honestly couldn't think of any. Except maybe junior grounds.

[Keith_M]

Had a look online and looking like it's going to be well below 16k for this game, maybe even under 15k

Not unexpected but attendances will rise again if we string a run of decent results (and displays) together.

[Golden Bear]

I guess there were far too many dishonest turnstile operators up and down the country hence the drive to invest in other methods. However this season has already proved that the "other methods" don't always work as they should!

[DMH0762]

Likewise SQ. My auld man used to take me and lift "me over". Then when he deemed me old enough to go along on my own it was "Gie's a lift o'er Mr" to any random adult in the queue. first time i paid i recall it was 1/6 shillings (7 and a half pence (?)). 3d for a programme ffs .

Oddly the rise in cost in no way reflects on any increase of quality on the park !!!

The "other methods" back in the day were Sir Tom Harts' turnstyle.... Good on him, innovator and had the bollocks to stand up to the hun and their BBC acolytes.

The day of the "lift over" disappeared after the introduction of full height turnstiles. It then became a "shove through" lol

There will be a large chunk going to watch the rugger likely.

[ancient hibee]

The odd game at Easter Road was ticketed in the old days.I've a feeling the Real Madrid friendly was.May have been because of the price and the club wanted to make sure they would raise enough to pay Real.It was six bob (30p) and a lot of supporters didn't go because it was so expensive.Think normal price to the ground was about 25P.

Recording it. First thing first today, ER beckons.

Also clubs could underplay attendances for tax reasons.

Ditto.

Only problem will be avoiding the score from Murrayfield.

[RoYO!]

Any word from the club re ticket scanning being sorted?

....ah that’s cos there isn’t a problem... riiiight.

It's a pre world cup friendly. Surely, not many going instead of ER unless getting corporate nosh up.

Relaxed as a newt ?? Or a Frog ? :wink:....3-0 to the Cabbage

I'll take that right now. Really fancy us today although think they'll give us a tough test.

[DMH0762]

These games are our bread and butter, got to win games. Teams used to fear coming to ER, not anymore. In fact they enjoy the experience and know exactly how to frustrate us and get US on the teams back, then they sucker us.

Thank Sauzee for Scott Allen

Certainly seems to be the stance the club is taking.

How many games have we lost at Easter Road since we got promoted. Can't be many. 4/5 maybe?

[DMH0762]

You tell me....i am not so anal as to check stats, but i would guess in excess of 4/5 . Add losing winning positions which we slackly ended up drawing then ER is no threat now to other teams

Lost 19 in total over the last 2 seasons not sure what the home losses were vs the away losses. Don't think we have a bad record at home at all

8 losses at home in league in 2 seasons. Pretty decent home record.

68,000 sell put for the rugger so can guess there might be an effect

Nor do i 04.. but it's not the fortress it was or has been in the past IMHO. No matter, only auld ****s like me reminisce. :aok:

And why not. No point getting all stressed on a Saturday morning. That's what Monday's are for.

That's possible.

I think crowds of the last three seasons have changed our expectations of what constitutes a decent attendance.
