Sons fan 1872 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Apparently crowd yesterday was 632 according to the website, very decent for us. Looking at last season attendance only 4home games last year had more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TullyBascombe Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Enjoyed my first game as an ST holder very much - five minutes in I was declaring it the best two-hundred smackers I've ever spent. Defence looked pretty solid, thought Buchanan was excellent and Long looks a class signing. Noticed in the second half - mainly because he was right in front of me - that every time Orsi got the ball wide on the right he was immediately closed down and had nowhere to go. Almost as if, you know, the pitch was narrower or something. Still, all those long throws from Lynas made up for... oh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long throw from Lynas started the leadup to our 2nd goal. Ok, it was about 90 seconds before, and there was a play stoppage included, but hey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the split is Sons Website From the article Quote With the first home league fixture of the new season having taken place, we can confirm that 224 season tickets have been sold for our 150th anniversary season. There are also currently 106 members of the Young Sons - with membership remaining open throughout the season. That's more ST sales than I expected. Good to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Having over 100 in the Young Sons is brilliant, really wasn't expecting that despite the good deal on offer for them. Hopefully enough of them get hooked that they stick around after they turn 17. 224 season tickets is more support than I feel this board deserves but I appreciate not everyone holds the same view as me. Would be interested to know if 224 is up or down on last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm in a slightly different position this year so there isn't much point in committing to a season ticket this time around. Work has changed and I'm still already balancing childcare and gigs with everything else. Likelihood is, I'll go to well more than half of the matches but I am probably going to miss half a dozen at a guess. As has been mentioned, there was much less motivation and reason for many to part with cash upfront given the last couple of years developments so I think we are doing okay in the grand scheme of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 https://sonsarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3988 Trawling the excellent Sons archive and came across this game. Really summed up that season. I'm not sure if that or the 3-2 win with 9 men at Forfar was a crazier game. The only game I can think of that comes close to either was the 8 men at Airdrie last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember every other Dumbarton player from that day but I have absolutely no recollection of Kevin Gaughan at all? Graham Connell as well was a complete blast from the past there.

Sixteen seasons of joy and misery since. 3-0 down in 12 minutes was impressive. I can’t think of a time we’ve done that since, off the top of my head. That season was absolutely batshit crazy. We threw away 2 goal leads, to lose, on several occasions (Patrick away and home and Peterhead at home, at least) and only took 2 points from our last 13 games. Alloa were absolutely miles behind and then appointed Allan Maitland who gave them form that was polar-opposite to ours.

And yes, Gaughan was ex-Stranraer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
