Dillinger Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 8,998. If we're going to fiddle with reported attendances, we could at least be a bit less obvious about it! Where are you fitting another 9,000 bodies in to that ground? Aberdeen fans reported as 1,400. So they're claiming another 3,000 Dons fans could fit in there? Mental. Moffat Stand holds 4400, so let's say there's 2,000 in there leaving 2,400 seats free. We're supposed to believe there's another 4,000 seats going spare in the East and Frank Beattie? Something doesn't add up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Was thinking that myself. Don't think they count hospitality for some reason. Frank Beattie was mobbed looked like over 10 000 to me. Trafic was really heavy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 It looked right to me. I would have said 1,000 in Moffat, 4,000 in East,1,500 in Chadwick, 2,500 in Frank Beattie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see the whole stand it was as busy as it's been in a long time where I was. Would be magic if a load of the guys who came tonight keep coming back.

KA9Killie Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Before it was announced, I guessed that it was about 8-9000. It is always less than you would think because people spread themselves out leaving seats vacant due to lack of legroom. There were quite a few empty spaces towards the Dundonald Road end of the East Stand; the top section in the Moffat wasn't quite full, and the bottom section was completely empty; the Aberdeen fans wouldn't have filled half of the Chadwick Stand and even in the Frank Beattie stand (where I was) there was the odd seat not occupied. Add in the bits where seats have been removed and I reckon that 9000 is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_92 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Could barely get a seat in the Moffat, assuming the top tier is half I’d think there was at least 2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamsie Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I hope they are "fiddling" the crowds. Sure Steve will spend a few thousand tax free £20s well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we're giving Aberdeen half the gate after deducting expenses it's no wonder we declare the minimal crowd we can get away with! This is how it has worked for decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I was in the moffat, FB and east stand only looked 3/4 full, the dons attendance looked accurate and where I was, was clearly only half full. attendance figure was fine, nothing to see here, move along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lroy Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I remember doing a big tedious post about attendances being lower than they seem after the Falkirk last day game. It had photos and everything. I believe the official attendance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton Bluebell Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Looked over 11000 and probably was. There was no way another 9000 could have got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR1869 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Stadium was the fullest it's been in ages, atmosphere was amazing and we are in a position where we can be disappointed about being narrowly pipped to a Hampden trip and we are quibbling about how many folk were, or were not, there?!

Mclean07 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I see the attendance conspiracy theorist zoomers out in force again. There were swathes of empty seats in the FB. Are you directly accusing the Board we're all praising of cheating? Utter nonsense. -4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
