Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 97,557 at 18 home games so far this season with an average of 5,417. Over past 14 years ex covid average has been 4,071 per year with highest previous average in 2014/15 at 4,717. Have to go back over 20 years for last average over 5 000. 8 attendances this season over 6,000. Lowest 2,899 and highest 7758. With our 9th place finish, increased prize pot and and much increased attendances here's hoping this is reflected in the budget Macca is allocated for the coming season.

rik2304 Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Don't know about that. I dread to think how much Flaherty and Davidson have wasted in the last two seasons. PSJ.84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive, given this has been achieved against a backdrop of a cost of living crisis, relegation battle, barely any good results at home and probably the worst football I've watched over a sustained period at McDiarmid Park. Can I ask what source you use for attendance figures? I usually look at transfermarkt.co.uk but their figures vary a bit from yours. According to them our average is over 1,000 higher than last season, which seems crazy given last season was the first season back after Covid and the Double win.

I included that by mistake 7,855 and missed the united game 7,071 so league only stats 96,773 with average of 5,376. Would hope today's livi game takes it over 100,000.

Won't make much difference as only a small percentage of the overall 96,773 plus previous years stats would have also included some free tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks back I bought a macaroni pie and a Coke, and the Coke was hotter than the pie. Would it kill them to invest in proper cold drinks dispensers? Or even just some fridges? Glad to get that off my chest. pezza70 and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Saw this on Twitter. If these numbers are accurate they're pretty incredible. A 31% home attendance increase post-Covid, and no other club in the top flight even comes close. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I wonder if the increased knowledge of our under 12s deal has caused an increase in away fans attending as well? It is impressive considering the 18/19 figure will feature a couple of other home game against well support teams in comparison to this season.

It is impressive considering the 18/19 figure will feature a couple of other home game against well support teams in comparison to this season. The under 12 deal helps but we benefited from getting Hibs and Aberdeen as first 2 home games just under 6 000 at each. Then big Hearts support on 28/12 followed 3 days later by big united support 7 058 and 7116. Aberdeen again at 6 001 and hibs again at 6787 followed by post split v united at 7071. Plus 3 games against the OF all over 7,000. Getting a team when they are on a good run Hearts and Hibs, or there is a lot at stake per utd post split has helped the numbers. Will be interesting to see how the fixtures pan out this year. If county go down Aberdeen could get Dundee as local Derby and we could end up with shitty livingston or we might get Dundee at home at New Year.
