Gogs Grog Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Any part time club taking 600+ fans away is impressive. However I think the stats that really give an idea of each clubs connection with their towns would be the title winning games.2010/2011 Arbroath 4 - 1 Montrose.Att. 1243.1st title win in 133 years existence and at home against local rivals.2017/2018 Mo 1 - 1 ElginAtt. 2380A 2nd title after 30+ years of not a lot. About 1 away fan that I saw.Actually having been at the 4-1 game I thought there was more there but that's what's in the books.Crowd w**k over.

Actually having been at the 4-1 game I thought there was more there but that's what's in the books. Crowd w**k over. OK, I'll bite 1) Simple transposition errors by Soccerbase don't give a true crowd figure. The actual recorded crowd (from thw AFC website) was 2143 2) On the last day of last season, the title was in Montrose's own hands. They only needed a draw. In 2010/11, Arbroath needed a result elsewhere to go their way (QP to beat Albion Rovers by a last minute goal) to win the Championship with 2 games to go. I had fully expected it to go to the wire and already had the hotel booked in Annan the next week 3) All you've really proved is that Montrose have a few more gloryhunters than Arbroath. Average crowds are a far better measure than one-off games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 3) All you've really proved is that Montrose have a few more gloryhunters than Arbroath. Average crowds are a far better measure than one-off games.Ok I’ll bite. Latest Census data -Arbroath population - 23902Montrose population - 11880Granted the latest census data is from 2011, but the last accurate population data available.If you consider that larger towns tend to get larger supports, then if the same percentage (discounting away fans as we’ve both played the same teams in the league), of the population attend games then it’s a fair shout that Arbroath should average nearly double the home support as Montrose?Crowd w**k over?

Gogs Grog Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thought the 1243 looked low.Thanks for the correction. Although I would argue it was 2142 + 1 weirdo in Speedos.Glory hunters at a Mo game? Think we need to step away from this thread now and let it die.

farflung lichtie Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Rather poor response from the wider Arbroath public to the amazing run we’ve been on. The Lichties have a decent and supportive core support though a bit on the quiet side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I wonder if Arbroath having taken in postwar Glasgow overspill has meant it has a higher percentage of supporters of the Ugly Sisters, than the other Angus towns? I'm not saying this to malign Arbroath. I just wondered if it is a factor from the town's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
