RenfrewBlue Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not sure but as per my above posts I was more interested in the level of interest from most fans not sponsors.Fair enough. Do attendance figures back that up this season? I haven't got a clue how the SPFL clubs are doing attendance wise but would be interested to know, if anyone has the figures.

Killie have had mitigating factors for low crowds though. Namely Michael Johnston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got a clue how the SPFL clubs are doing attendance wise but would be interested to know, if anyone has the figures. I'm not sure either but I think there's been a few posts on here over the last 2-3 years suggesting little or no difference - maybe some increases. For example, the Dundee Derbies sell out pretty quickly but I don't think any game v Celtic (and Rangers in last few years in SPL) had the same impact. Also the Aberdeen games in Dundee are the next biggest in terms of interest, chat and crowds. This was happening before RFC dropped to bottom tier. I don't know exact figures or facts, nor can I back it up, but that's my general impression from various sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand the Killie crowds. You may have noticed a similar affect at Ibrox?Motherwell as well, as they are pretty poor this season by all accounts. I think I've read Celtic are way down. Aberdeen are up but if anyone knows where wed get figures feel free to post them up to prove or disprove the guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of crowd observations from this season - Dundee Utd sold out their allocation for Pittodrie for the first time since the day Aberdeen all but relegated them in 1995. Aberdeen's away crowds are well up on last season. Celtic refused them an extra 1200 for last Sunday for a total of 3000. A long time since Aberdeen had that sort of following at Parkhead for a league game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleboyblue Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So despite losing 4-0, are Aberdeen now in a better position than they were prior to the Celtic game. The gap is in effect the same as it was, Celtic have since played two home games and we no longer have to go to CP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints have had their best ever run of success over the last few years, and lost a 25 goal a season striker at the start of this season. They've been flying well above their normal position for three or four years in a row and I think all Saints fans know we'll fall back at some point. Long may it continue though.

biffer Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Aye. Or drawn a couple One draw would put have put them three points behind with Celtic still to go up to the frozen north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So if those useless sheephumpers had won even one of their games against Celtic this season the league would be all to play for? There is still 33 points to play for. That must really feckin sting, huh? Only if we lose because we didn't draw or win at home v the 10 men.

Parklife Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So if those useless sheephumpers had won even one of their games against Celtic this season the league would be all to play for? That must really feckin sting, huh? I think the annoying part of it is: Game 1: Better team for around 30 minutes (lost) Game 2: Better team for around 60 mins (lost) Game 3: Better team for around 45 mins (lost). We've matched celtic over the 3 games, except when it's come to taking our chances. Frustrating for Aberdeen fans but you've got to give credit to Celtic for how clinical they've been.
