Thats fuckin class!

[djn]

Excellent!

But has Danny Swanson really got six yellow cards already this season? Naught boy...

[Blueminer]

Definitely a good read and full of facts and figures.

Only thing is, in the attendances, the low figure for the crowd at Cowden this season is put at 193. I think this was reported in some papers for the game against Airdrie Utd, when the crowd was actually 493. So whoever done that part got it wrong! Apart from that it's excellent.

when we played you the crowd was 350 odd so that might be the lowest?

[Blueminer]

Think the Peterhead game has been the lowest crowd this season.

Lowest crowd was 293 as you say. Seen the news bulletin on the SFL site this afternoon, looks good. The Football League down south have had this for a few years and I always hoped that we would follow.
Re the crowd I notice that it is the PA who are putting this together, it is also the PA who put out the info re crowds teams and general stats on all the games to the papers/radio/tv on a Saturday.
At every ground they have someone to phone in all the details, I have in the past helped the guy who does it at Cowden. You phone what I presume is some sort of call centre in Leeds and sometimes the person on the other end may not be the brightest of folk and thats how you get wrong crowds etc.

Issue 2 is up now:

The League Insider Issue 2

[Double Jack D]

Alan Maitland reckons there are 3 full time teams in the league!

What a crackin wee document this is!

[Yoss]

I like this.

Some of the stats are wrong, mind - the winning margins tables for all three divisions seem to be all over the place.

Really good idea though. Well done, SFL. (And that's not something you say every day of the week.)

Issue 3

[Michael W]

I seen this on the Rovers site. It's interesting to note that Davidson isn't the dirtiest player in the league this season, Infact, he's not even the dirtiest at the Rovers , Graeme Weir takes those dubious honours.

[mid-table]

That is the best production I have seen for the Scottish lower leagues in ..... well ....... ever.
Top marks to the SFL, funny how after the Peter Donald crony brigade have left, the league gets an ambitious new sponsor, and starts producing literature that the fans actually want to read.
