HibeeJibee Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 In previous seasons it's been suggested sizeable numbers of neutrals came to "see history made" etc. Certainly figures indicate something: 2014-15... Montrose average - 419; highest league gate - 1,143; playoff crowd - 2,132... i.e. 5-times larger; 2-times larger 2015-16... 'Shire average - 320; highest league gate - 523; playoff crowd - 1,286... i.e. 4-times larger; 2.5-times larger 2016-17... Cowdenbeath average - 345; highest league gate - 571; projected playoff crowd - 1,200 to 1,600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be amazed if we get four figures at CP. We didn't even get over 1000 when we beat Forfar to seal the 2nd division title a few seasons ago (if I'm not mistaken).

big al Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 just watched the extended highlights. presenter is tidy, good job Nellys not going to the game! EK look direct to the front 2 who look to play a lay and spin and get the return pass. they have a bit of pace and mobility. really glad we dont have the pairing of Sives/Mclaughlin as they would get dragged about and exposed. im sure renton/ carrick will cause their defence problems but better quality service to feet is essential. dont like the look of the pitch but just have to get on with it. the game will be fast and alot at stake so easy to get carried away and end up with a red card. what on earth was the buckie striker doing going down for the red card? stay on your feet, youre in behind them. he would have recieved an ear bashing from me back in the day!

I know a handful of people who are going to the second game who never venture near Central Park. However, I doubt we will get near 1000, sadly. Unless EK are in a good position, then they might bring quite a few through for the novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at history of these types of games last game of the season in the pyramid system they usually have a larger crowd 2014/15 Montrose vs Brora last game had over 2000 There will be a lot of neutral interest in our game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would settle for a draw in this game. I think Locke and the team are well prepared to cope with all antics and there is a desire and grit to the team which should mean we wouldnt lose by more than 1 goal (if we were to lose) now on to this presenter big al.......

JakeSAFC Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Loving the Clyde fans looking for a new rivalry, seeing as QP couldnt give a toss and Thistle have probably forgot who they are. EK - Clyde could be the next big derby in Lanarkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
