Rory Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Being a supporter of a 3rd division side I am over the moon Stenny stayed up, saves us from having to travel to Ochilview 4 times next season! QP have no luck in the playoffs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Was a delayed kick off to let the crowds in. Unreal queue to get in the Montrose end. Ended up in the Brora end instead. Not convinced they didn't throw the game. Montrose fans are pretty Hun-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taunton Tartan Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The lower divisions need to be regionalised. Asking part timers to travel 2 or 3 hundred miles to play a game in front of a few hundred fans makes absolutely no sense. Lets go back to the two leagues again, as it used to be. In the 70's teams such as Montrose, Brechin, Forfar etc were getting 1000-1500 crowds every week. Sometimes more. Its not just the lower leagues either. Some of the crowds at premier league games are abysmal compared with a couple of decades ago. Football was played on saturday afternoons at 3:00, and midweek on a wednesday at 19:30. Very rarely were games played at any other time. People used to go and watch their local teams as there were no other way to see football unless it was a cup final or international game being shown on tv. Nowadays football can be watched on telly virtually everyday of the week. Sometimes on a saturday and sunday there are three games on, all kicking off at different times, just so the TV companies can make money. Saturdays used to be great. Several coaches would leave Montrose early doors to get to the likes of Coatbridge, Kirkaldy, Methil, Hamilton, Paisley, etc. No motorways then, and very few stretches of dual carriage way. Chugging along on an Alexanders or Bluebird coach at about 40 miles an hour max. No toilets, so it was cans full of pee getting hurled out of the windows. Auchterarder was always a favourite stopping off place. The chippies and bars there must have made a fortune in those days. Mind you, some saturdays it was like a wild west town when several different sets of supporters all turned up at the same time. Great effort by Montrose yesterday. It would have been a sad day if they had dropped out of the league after 92 years. Hopefully some of those that turned up yesterday will go back next season to support them. Good shout Bruce. Spot on with the result and scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Going to two leagues of 20 won't help crowds improve . Very poor logic to say crowds were bigger in the 70's so let's copy the league format then. They were bigger in the 50's but many things have changed. Exciting meaningfull games like this attract crowds. Not lots of boring mid table meaningless games which is what you would get with leagues of 20. Top 3 get Europe and even 3 relegation spots leaves mountains of pointless games with certain teams never in contention for either end of the table.

True, that'll be why attendances in England are so low ... The opposite scenario of playing a team 4 times a season just breeds contempt. So boring.

So boring. That's it. Why do West Ham, west brom get full houses? They are run of the mill mid table clubs but get the crowds. Obviously they are watching a better product but I think the fact the EPL is so well advertised encourages folk to go. You used to see lots of empty seats in English games.

Taunton Tartan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Cheers Davie.Was that Bruce M video? I don't know. Graeme sent me the link on sunday. I was working in Bournemouth Saturday and popped in to see Wrighty, and was following the match on-line. Was trying to get up for Mo fest next week, but can't make it. You'd only stalk me again anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
