Andy Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Much talk of our support recently which personally i think has shown great improvement recently despite what some on here may tell you. Reasonable increases in league games, and roughly 700 more Home fans v Celtic. We I hope are moving albeit slowly in the right direction. As a comparison tonight’s Motherwell v St. Johnstone match, drew just 3227 fans. Very confident that had we been playing similar opposition we would have comfortably beat that number. And just for the record that means by 2 Or 300 more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'd be interested to see the actual figures of the home crowds since Clarke came in. Despite what McLean07 says I'm sure I've noticed fairly steady increases in the home end - barring the obvious games where you miss out on family st etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I've posted the figures plenty of times - November and December games were up around 950 versus the previous year. Haven't looked at January, although a winter break plus a Celtic game doesn’t give the best data for comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Sorry, I'm sure you have posted the stats but in any thread dominated by McLean07 I tend to lose interest quite fast. The figures I can find from a quick Google exluding Rangers and Celtic. These are total attendance rather than just home fans. McCulloch St J 3,935 Hearts 5,076 Hamilton 3,706 Dundee 3,452 Ross Co 3,337 Clarke Hibs (Tues) 5,005 Aberdeen (Sun) 4,198 Partick 4,339 Motherwell 4,179 Ross County (Cup) 3,595 Not flocking back but there is a small steady increase. If you add in the Rangers and Celtic fixtures those crowds are also bigger than under McCulloch, so that would suggest the few hundred and growing that have come back under Clarke are continuing to come along. It's an obvious prediction but if the good form continues toward the split I'd expect more lapsed fans to come back still. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Good results can only help. For the occassional fan its a lot of money if we are losing all our home games. I think the improved atmosphere will also help. Its great to see the fans getting behind the team. Long may it continue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I felt it was best to use a month by month thing for better comparison - for example, we usually get a bigger crowd at the first game of the season, perhaps due to the weather. Comparing apples with apples, if you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewWylie Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Crowds are well up -- not including bigot games---- but all those who said they'd be back after MJ left certainly aren't . We,even when not doing so well have more support than most 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldow Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Something radical marketing has to be considered now. I can’t imagine us playing much better than we are so must capitalise between now and end of season to get folk back. A cup win and European football would help obviously!! We can’t rely on that so every avenue should be explored and idea considered but massive action is what’s needed not moderate price reductions.

Gallus Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 For a few reasons I can't make every other Saturday, for the first time in a long time I now WANT to make games and I will put in more of an effort to get there. It took time for the attendances to drop and it will take time for them to increase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
