The area's population has grown a fair bit since we were last in that division. Appreciate a lot of that will be due to us becoming more of a commuter town but over time it's not unthinkable that we can start converting some of those arrivals into fans if we can have some level of success. Coupled with the fact that our last time in the Premiership we'd not long moved into the new ground I think we'd be looking at 6k or so ok the top flight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Crowds go up when the team's flying and down when they're rotten, these Airdrie fans need to get this info out into the world it's ground breaking stuff . I think it's going to be a long close season on here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Do you think that the very likely prospect of leaving their comfy home in L1 is just a wee bit scary for some of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 QP going up would be preferable. They will have a far bigger budget than Airdrie, Airdrie will likely lose Murray if they don’t go up and lastly as someone said earlier, we are likely to take their better players on the basis they don’t go up too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I can't see Airdrie not going up. Queens Park aren't very prolific, Montrose had goals of a start and Airdrie still beat them, they are also a better side than Queens. Stranger things have happened but Queens Park to better Airdrie over two games can't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a similar shock if Queens won but if I was a betting man my cash would be on Airdrie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie can leak goals too. Difficult one to call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Coyle has brought in more shit the bed tactics which may work for them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Watching ICT v Arbroath. If Arbroath did somehow get promoted where would they play games? Dundee? They only have 800 seats at gayfield and whilst the 6k rule no longer applies to compete financially they need crowds bigger than 800 surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground requirements for Premiership and Championship are the same. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine they’ve got a bigger home crowd than the likes of Livingston and Hamilton so I’m sure they would be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the the ground has a safety certificate, and is accepted into the league structure, there is no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Who’d people prefer out of Annan or Edinburgh City? Both a massive upgrade (away day wise) on East Fife. I initially thought Edinburgh City but I’ve just seen the wee shitey stand they’ve built at Meadowbank and thought, maybe not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are top flight clubs trialling safe standing and why do they need to ask for permission to install safe standing? Surely if there isn't a rule against standing in the top flight you can just put in what you want? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
