I had a quick glance through previous semi-finals to see how attendances compared to yesterday's 25,057 for the Ayrshire Derby.

The last non-OF semi-final to get a higher attendance was the original match between Hibs and Dunfermline in the 2006/07 Scottish Cup - which pulled in 25,336.

I've looked through the League Cup and there doesn't seem to be a non-OF semi attendance higher than yesterday's going back to 92/93. Wikipedia doesn't have any info for before then, and I couldn't find any on Google. Does anyone know the last time a non-OF League Cup semi-final had an attendance exceeding 25,057? The fact they used to be midweek will obviously have an effect on that one.

And what about semi-final attendances for matches not involving city clubs? The 1960/61 Scottish Cup semi-final between Dunfermline and St Mirren had 31,930 - has there been one above 25,057 more recently than then?

I may well use these on my SPLstats Twitter, so if you have Twitter and give me a new answer then give me your Twitter name so I can credit you.

Have Hearts and Hibs not met in a semi-final more recently?
East Fife players were said to be "covered in chicken tikka and potatoes" after a fracas in the cafeteria during an Irish Sea crossing.
