Expect a few more will drift in once the Peebles game over the fence finishes. Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proxy criteria for "proper football"? Not counting 0-0's is even more bizarre. I can see why say an abandoned game might not "count", but beyond that... It's like anything in life... 2.9M Scots identified with one or other Christian denomination in the last census, but "only" about 400,000 are in church or chapel on a Sunday morning. Millions of people must listen to music; few attend concerts/gigs/festivals. Hundreds of thousands follow football - otherwise it wouldn't get so much newspaper space, broadcast time, etc. - but "only" about 130,000 attend each weekend throughout the levels. That 130k is an interesting figure - based on that would it be accurate to say that in Scotland its roughly a third of the population supporting Celtic, a third of the population supporting Rangers, and a third supporting everyone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never have home games on same weekend though... If you added up the averages of the top 5 in terms of support, you'd get more than 130,000 (the sum of the averages from last season in SPFL levels 1-4 is around 230,000 but that will include travelling support). There must be around 200,000-250,000 or so unique people attending across the country from top to bottom but HJ is correct to half this figure as the bigger one will be those going every 2nd week. A small percentage will go home and away (at national level, I'd imagine travelling support tends to be younger unmarried men or married men with adult children). At regional levels, I reckon you get a wider age range because there are fewer travel implications.

It's anecdotal but I'd wager they have a larger number of armchair "supporters" than other sides too. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a typical weekend there will be 53,000 at Parkhead or Ibrox; 43,000 across the rest of the Premiership; and 22,000 across the lower SPFL levels - on the basis of official figures; plus about 12,000 across senior non-league and Junior football (allowing for an average of 100 per game). Although most won't be paying you could add perhaps 7,000 at amateur football (allowing for an average of 20 per game). Also a couple - perhaps a few - thousand watch womens football.

Which illustrates the fact that the OF are very much a minority, albeit quite a large one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieclub78 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Weekend attendances / headcounts. 3rd & 4th August. Still 4 to get. From 28th July - 4th August ( 8 days) 9002+ spectators went out to support their local clubs in the Lowland league & East of Scotland qualifying league.
