Must be Hearts. They are absolutely miles bigger than us so there's no way we could have a bigger average attendance.Quote:

Isn't the fact that their 2018-19 figure is only slightly higher than Hibs down to playing a few games at Murrayfield whilst their supermega, eighth wonder of the world stand was being built? :greengrin
HEARTS by miles I’d expect, no point in even opening the link to find out.
Massive club ☺️
It is strange how threads about attendances 'us v them' seem to have vanished completely from 'Throw-back' - I wonder why ?
Empty seats were another big debate over on Kick back, oh how the hens have come home to roost. Roasters!Quote:

Without going through all the fixtures - isn't this more likely due to the number of home games v the bigger teams?Quote:

Sometimes you've just got to get your kicks where you can find them, no matter how petty. If that's through reminding your self important neighbours that they're not as massive or great as they've been claiming, then so be it.
No, we've both played Celtc, The Rangers, Aberdeen and each other at home.Quote:

You're right. The build has been going on so long I've lost track of time. :greengrinQuote:

Our numbers have held up pretty well given the last 5 matches from last season and that we knew Hecky would be manager this season. Need a bit of performance improvement in the second half of the season to up the optimism.
Dundee Utd averaging a little under 9,000 this season which will climb to over 10,000 in the SPFL next season. Will give all attendances including our own a wee boost. Will be good for the standing of the Scottish game as well to have 6 well supported teams in the top league again.
Just need to get Dundee, Dunfermline and Falkirk back in the top league after that.
Falkirk playing in the 3rd tier get bigger attendances than 3 clubs currently playing in the top tier.
Livingston St Johnstone and Hamilton to go down a Division.
With average attendances of 3,400 this season, no wonder St Johnstone want old firm fans in their stands.
That's what I was thinking and when you multiply 900 x £29 ticket price, that equals £26k per home game less in gate receipts which will really add up over the season. That said, we stand a much bigger chance of attendances improving with Ross and not Heckingbottom as manager.Quote:

If only we could get all you Hibees abroad back to Edinburgh we would have our 5% drop replaced.

The return of the suicidal levels of unsustainable overspend (or "cheating") make the game much less attractive.
Scottish football would improve without them

Crowds fluctuate and we need to improve our form a bit to encourage higher attendances.
Will be very amusing if celtic get 10 in a row and the huns' bubble bursts. I loved it when they were crap.

We will lose a couple of derbies though when Hearts get relegated.Quote:

Not surprising our average is down a little. A significant number were never taken by Hecky, and Ron hasn’t really done anything to enthuse fans and get them to buy into a new vision for the club. JR isn’t long in the door and hasn’t been able to make any signings yet.
2020 should be a big year for us. Let’s hope so!
Hecky set us back a couple of years and his signing decisions will probably affect us negatively for another season and a half.Quote:

Nah not for me, let falkirk rot in the lower leagues and fade into obscurity, horrible wee clubQuote:
