Early cup games have always been poor crowds. Many people on holiday, not on season ticket, rather spend their day enjoying the sun in a beer garden etc etc. In saying that, i thought the 430 travelling Morton fans was a decent number!

The SPFL say they were responding to demand for summer football. It looks like only about half the regulars demanded or attended. If it was designed to bring in the less regular attenders, that doesn't seem to have worked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regulars would be more likely to attend in the middle of the season. Presumably the whole point if 'summer football' is to entice along people who don't normally go. Based on crowds over the last couple of seasons this doesn't seem to have worked. The whole idea seems a bit half hearted with most games being treated as glorified friendlies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenortherner Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Queens attendance last night was a tad down from Saturday with only 788 bothering to turn up. Unless there is a title challenge this season I suspect many crowds would unlikely break the 1,000 barrier as fans are getting more and more fed up of playing the same teams every other week.

CallumPar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 1,848 at East End last night. Not too bad, considering we got 1,878 for the same fixture last year, on a Saturday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think there was something like 390 at our game with Cowdenbeath last night. About 100 less than when we played them two years ago in the same competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 425 at the Rock last night, which isn't actually too bad (we got 366 v Annan last year). Looked like QP brought a pretty respectable number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like QP brought a pretty respectable number. There was 1 QP fan who sat in the home end strangely, in the front row. I couldn't for the life of me understand why. Complained a lot about our players falling over and shouted "SPIDERS" occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Apart from the Killie and Stirling crowds (and possibly Dundee Utd), those are shockers.I don’t know what Stirling’s average crowd usually is tbh but I’ll say there was about 1000 dees there Saturday. Probably less, just going by what I seen around me and by the pic I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea seems a bit half hearted with most games being treated as glorified friendliesI am not sure that you can make assessments based on glorified friendlies at the start of the Glasgow fair holiday. If it was a league game half way through the season, I think there would be marked differences in the attendances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
