Some interestin' attendance facts which are not from Joe Skeds internet cut and paste in the EEN.

Attendances of both Edinburgh SPFL clubs have dropped by 5% from last season. Interestingly Aberdeen down 7% and the league as a whole down 6%. Ross County replacing Dundee hasn't helped the league figure.

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.

Average gate at Tannadice was way below 10k last time they were in the top league. Let’s hope they continue their enthusiasm this time.

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!
