bluesaint Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm now officially in holiday mode at work ha ha and just was thinking about saints crowds at McD over the years so to start off with, who can remember the last time we had a 10k plus crowd? And I mean for fitba! Nothing else And their favourite 10k plus atmosphere I'll start I can't remember the last 10k plus crowd but my fav has to be Saints v Airdrie classic.....

ss75990 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 possibly saints vs monaco the last 10k plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCarry One Nil Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Only just over 8K at Monaco game - mind it was a 5:30 KO as well"That" Dundee game May 1999 I would guess but ye'd think there must be 1 since then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali91 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sure there was one early noughties against Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooj Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Last time we got promotion it was pretty full, with massive queues to get into the East Stand, but I am guessing away end was pretty empty so wouldn't be close to capacity. 3-1 against Rangers must have been pretty full. For some reason I think of it being on a Sunday but not sure why - was on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 The unofficial Saints Twitter account posted a graphic showing all of McDiarmid Park's 10k-plus crowds a while back. The Airdrie game actually had just under 10,000 at it so wasn't on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendance for that match is wrong as I had a ticket for a season ticket holders seat and I know of a good few more in the same boat . We got hoarded up the back of the east stand .

We got hoarded up the back of the east stand . Don't understand that. Saints attendances have always been automatically registered through the turnstiles. In other words, if you're in the ground, you're counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesaint Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Oops forgot to message, that one about the turnstiles is classic because I agree if it clicks your counted but the times I've seen crowds announced on reports from some of Celtic games in the past was clearly wrong....

Brogan Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 At johnstone v Inverness cup game was over 10k No it wasn't. 9,600-odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Our "official attendances" are notoriously dubious. The 7000 crowd v Spartak Trnava springs to mind, there is absolutely no way you could have got 3,000 more people into the stadium that night. That having been said, the size of the ground is (sadly) far too big for our needs and at times I sit in the East stand and wish we had a compact 7,000 stadium.

ejksjfc Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I do think Dundee in 1999 is the most recent 10000+ crowd. Just to extend this topic a bit when was the last 10000+ at Muirton, was it the 3-3 game against Rangers in the cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarry One Nil Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Not sure but 7500 springs to mind for some reason. Truth dat - safety certificate was reduced to 7,500 even wi the segregation barrier (paid for by the Sheep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That having been said, the size of the ground is (sadly) far too big for our needs and at times I sit in the East stand and wish we had a compact 7,000 stadium. As I said earlier in the thread Saints attendances are extremely trustworthy. They are almost entirely generated automatically by the turnstiles - which is why they lock when a stand is full. The only exception to this is, I believe, the corporate hospitality section, where fans don't come in through turnstiles. I presume a figure is supplied separately for that small number. I disagree with you about Trnava. The turnstiles tell the story accurately. What a lot of people don't see from their seat is the gaps at the end of their own stands, but also the odd unoccupied seats in other stands. Unless a game is all-ticket, you get a lot of these unoccupied single seats which are hard to see from a distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
