Didn't mean it to be a riddle, but (given the forum and thread title) couldn't think of another clue that wouldn't give it away (what links these cities and towns...?)

dandydunn Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yes!

Given that Aberdeen isn't in it,I would assume it's Scotland's biggest shitholes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll not be this shite permanently. We've been much worse. We've also been champions of Scotland. Part and parcel of supporting a club like ours.

exile Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Only 1 game in Scotland had more than 10000 spectators Only 10 games in Scotland had more than 1000 spectators The top 4 attendances involved the biggest clubs of Glasgow and Edinburgh – irrespective of which league they are in. Dunfermline are punching above their weight in terms of attendance (or below it, in terms of league position). The Scottish Premiership had only 2 out of the top 30 attendances in Britain. The second highest Premiership attendance (St Johnstone v Hearts) was below Leagues One's Shrewsbury Town v Swindon and just ahead of League Two's Leyton Orient v Yeovil Town. Or put another way, the majority of Premiership games attracted less than Orient v Yeovil. Or another way, only 4 matches in all Scotland exceeded it.

We're still better supported by head of population than almost every country in Europe, including England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We're still better supported by head of population than almost every country in Europe, including England. Indeed. It seems exile wants to do the Sky Sports fan trick of comparing the Scottish game with the English one. Were you at a game at the weekend, exile?

Were you at a game at the weekend, exile? That kind of thing isn't helped when you have what is generally the best Scottish football coverage, Sportsound, providing live score updates from the EPL during Scottish games.

Were you at a game at the weekend, exile? Well you seem to agree that we are better supported by head of population than almost every country in Europe, including England. You can only know that if you compare the figures. I can't win the Jimmy Sanderson argument, but if people are discouraged from commenting whether on internet or sports radio, then it could lead to more people drifting away from the game, not boosting it?

adamntg Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Here's the latest figures I could find for season 2011/12. Seems the Icelandic attend more per capita than the Scots but that's it. https://rowzfootball.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/who-watches-the-most-football-in-europe-average-attendances-by-population-across-european-top-flight-leagues/ Further down is a very interesting extrapolation of what average attendances would be across Europe if everyone went to games at the same percentages as we did : Crowds in England would nearly 150,000, in Germany 210,000 and each Russian game would be watched by 375,000 people.
