Interesting that, despite some of the biggest 'Colt Teams' in the country having games, the biggest attendances by some distance came at games involving two league teams.

Neil Doncaster will be shocked.

Doncaster was allegedly at the Accies Edinburgh game tonight.

One of the sad 153.

Crowds tonight:

Dundee United 2-0 Cowdenbeath - 1655 - lowest at Tannadice in my lifetime (probably lowest for a competitive match since WWII)
Dunfermline 2-0 Arbroath - 1,462 - 3,000 down from the crowd on Saturday
St Mirren 2-1 EK - 1,357
Morton 0-2 Livi - 1,036 - 
Queen of the South 3-0 Airdrie - 1,012 - 

Raith 3-0 Brora - 971 -
Buckie 2-1 Brechin - 453 
Stirling 1-3 Montrose - 413
Hibs Colts 1-2 Elgin City - 367 
Annan 3-1 Celtic Colts - 273 - So much for the extra income the OF colts would bring to the lower leagues
Formartine United 0-0 Hearts Colts - 200-  Down on their normal HL crowds
Stenhousemuir 0-2 Cove - 169 - I would imagine that would be a record low for Stennie
Albion Rovers 0-0 (in ET) Spartans - 155 - Again probably a record low
Aberdeen Colts 1-0 St Johnstone Colts - 155 - probably just the players' families
Hamilton Colts 1-0 Edin City - 153 - Despite Neil Doncaster being in attendance

Still Waiting on a few

Doncaster's tiny mind will be working overtime......new improved colt teams next year with four over age players. 


You forgot about the Colt teams being allowed rolling subs and 14 players on the pitch.

Not to mention the senior team players being forced to play with their boots tied together.

I was at the Aberdeen v St Johnstone match. I never noticed either of my sons playing!

I like this competition despite the abuse it gets from some. The only problem for me is the inclusion premier youth teams, which are an insult to the rest of the teams.I think interest will pick up when the Irish and Welsh teams join, as it did last season.
