woolf Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 In the last 10 seasons we have only played at Pittodrie 7 times on a Saturday,the rest being midweek or Sunday.I know we all need the TV money but some of the fixture arrangements are a joke and its a hell of a lot worse for the old firm who hardly ever play away games at 3pm on a Saturday,every cloud eh.

Pandaman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The stats are interesting however if we were to look at the figures for rugby park you would find st mirren have the biggest away support by a long way outside the old firm and at st mirren park killie have even matched the support of the old firm in recent years where as clubs like dufc have had very poor supports at both those grounds.

Mitch Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 1-2 Motherwell: 8,779 (Visitors: 385) Was this before or after they started firing people out the doors as they wouldnt sit down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Your point, your average home attendance is 6 times bigger than ours, your away attendance at pittodrie was 6 times ours. Anyway bringing up St Johnstones poor crowd attendance, yawn, we all know it, nothing we can do about it. why is that ? I remember the first season at McDiarmid Park the average was about 7,500 then the following season in the top flight was similar..........what happened ? surely can't just be down to the "new stadium bounce" ?

Swello Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 What a load of rubbish according to the killie chairman on the radio tonight hey have the largest away support outside old firm Like all these things it depends on geography - Killie do have a good away support if you asked a St Mirren or a Motherwell fan - but given that Killie-Aberdeen is a big journey, it will have an effect. Dundee Utd take a good support to Pittodrie, but the support they bring to Fir Park (and I'm willing to bet St Mirren and Killie) is practically non-existent in comparison. I think if the Killie chairman said that though, it's surprising - Aberdeen and Hearts have the most consistently high supports outside the OF, followed by Hibs in my experience.

Ric Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is funny watching the fermers scrambling to offer up excuses for their woeful attendance figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always had healthy support down at St Mirren, i would challenege you that Aberdeens support at St Mirren would be similar if not bigger. Aberdeen and Hearts have the most consistently high supports outside the OF, followed by Hibs in my experience. Yep, its always been the same. Our last 3 crowds for away games have been excellent 999 (capacity) at Ibrox, 4072 (almost capacity) at Tannadice, and im not sure of the exact figures but there wasnt much spare seats up at Inverness on xmas eve, i would imagine about 1000-1500 and 2633 at Forfar.

Ric Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They're a right defensive bunch, eh? You'd think they'd point out they had tens of thousands lining the streets of Perth when they last won a national troph... oh, wait, no never mind...

fraser_smfc Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The attendence figures would be far higher if it didn't cost £40 for an adult and child to get into a ran-down health and safety hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We've always had healthy support down at St Mirren, i would challenege you that Aberdeens support at St Mirren would be similar if not bigger. We took over 2000 to St Mirren last year - even filling a section of the home end. I don't think Aberdeen have done that. Killie announce the away supports at every game, but I''ve never bothered to take a note of them. I've asked on our forum, but I'd have a guess at this order: Rangers Celtic St Mirren Hearts Motherwell Dundee (SC) Hibs Queen of the South (LC) Dunfermline (1) East Fife (LC) Aberdeen Dunfermline (2) Dundee Utd St Johnstone Inverness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 4 top flight teams within 40 miles and we still have a considerably larger away support than yourself. Good god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There is no way we only had 179 fans at the opening game of the season Having a look on the Aberdeen website there is one picture which shows the away fans at the front of the stand and there are around 100 plus fans there. I was sitting in almost the back row and we had people all around us Its the 21st image down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we are perth Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 In all honesty, I've not actually got a point to make. But Aberdeen have started publishing how many away fans attend games at Pittodrie, thought it was interesting reading. But then I'm an Aberdeen fan, so we're taught at an early age to be obessed with attendances. SPL: 0-0 St Johnstone: 10,001 (Visitors: 179) 0-1 Celtic: 12,497 (Visitors: 3,715) 2-1 Inverness CT: 7,989 (Visitors: 327) 2-2 Kilmarnock: 7,672 (Visitors: 263) 4-0 Dunfermline: 8,333 (Visitors: 350) 3-1 Dundee Utd: 10,256 (Visitors: 1,120) 1-2 Rangers: 15,468 (Visitors: 3,878) 1-2 Motherwell: 8,779 (Visitors: 385) 2-2 St Mirren: 9,452 (Visitors: 261) 1-0 Hibernian: 7,137 (Visitors: 274) 0-0 Hearts: 9,210 (Visitors: 740) 0-0 Kilmarnock: 8,324 (Visitors: 247) League Cup: 1-0 Dundee: 5,722 (Visitors: 852) 3-3 East Fife: 3,964 (Visitors: 187) It looks as though more Aberdeen fans came out to watch us than every other team in the league bar Rangers. Dons fans always turn up for the big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
