HibeeJibee Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Although only intended as a bit of fun, this might prove a bit controversial, but I'll light the blue touch paper and stand back . Attendances are not routinely taken or published in non-league football, and the Isabel Goudie calculator system of wild exaggeration or outrageous under estimation is far from satisfactory. However every club has a twitter feed, and most of them are fairly active. Listed below are the clubs by their current numbers of followers.

More followers than LTHV but below them in the table. This is not a good way to treat our visionary forefathers who lit the path to EOSL allowing others to follow.

Marshmallo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The five biggest clubs at this level are Linlithgow, Bonnyrigg, Bo'ness, Penicuik and Musselburgh. Honourable mention to Camelon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I’d say Broxburn home games about 150-200 people and 30-50 travel to watch them away. its a bit of a shame that the crowds are so low because I’ve not seen a poor home game in the Super League over the last two seasons and was much better than the L1/L2 stuff I watched previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieclub78 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Blackburn United average league attendance 2017/18 was 100. Highest attendance was 182 with half our home games 100+. This was up 10% on previous season. If we can match or possibly add couple more per game then that's progress and that's what every club looks for. Our highest attendance of season was 345 v linlithgow in the cup, wonder if that will be beaten this season. We have a population of 5300 so more work needed to keep number going up.
