EoSFL Attendances 2019/20


Recommended Posts

Thought I would compare the league averages to last year. So far the Premier Division has seen an increase. Not sure if its as much as expected at this point. Obivously some big games still to play that will bump things up further.

For the 22 teams that played in the Conferences last year and in this year's First Division Conferences they're holding up reasonably well considering the loss of the bigger Premier Division teams.

overall poor figures by most clubs which is disappointing. gd luck to all clubs in the future though.

Wouldn't call it poor. For the premier clubs those that have seen a loss are in single digits.

There's still big games, ground hop and the season run in to come. Everyone should see an increase of some sort.

Some expectations should maybe be dampened as people realize the nature of the pyramid. The East has lost Kelty and Bonnyrigg. Those are big games with travelling supports gone. 

Current standings would see Bo'ness replaced by Edinburgh University. There's another negative trade off for the EoS Premier. That's just how it goes unfortunately.

The First Division averages are also pretty good considering the loss of bigger teams in last year's conferences.

Don't see how these figures are "poor" at all.

End of December is a particularly bad time for them to be released, in LL and EOS terms, as the derbies fall the next 2 weeks.

Despite that most Premier are up 30-100 which is what you'd have hoped for moving on from conferences (even Blackburn, Camelon and Linlithgow in effect... last season's got boosted by groundhop). For only 4 clubs in First Division to be down more than 30 - despite no longer playing in conferences v "big clubs" - is very encouraging (again Dunipace were groundhop too - ditto Inverkeithing and Peebles).

110 for St Andrews v Kinnoull

Great work Burnie78 it's really interesting to compare the figures. 

Guesstimates at the Bo’ness v Rose game from a few fans put the crowd anywhere between 650 - 750. I did a head count 20 minutes before ko of around 200.

When was the last time they played, must be 18 months ago at least? Surprised that didn't crack 4 figures.

Counted 210 at Broxburn v Blackburn today.

Given they've sold over 1,400 tickets for St.Mirren, and there's no Premiership fitba, a bit disappointing.

Nah, can't see them coming out for yesterday's tie. It would be the same after the game or if we had been in a cup final. Hopefully though the Scottish Cup ties have generated some new fans that will start going every week. A few seasons ago we would of been lucky to get 3 figures at this tie, so it's good progress that the attendance at Albyn Park are the healthiest they been for years. I think the BUSC set-up has helped a lot in growing our attendance. Member clubs support other member clubs in their big days which is why I reckon most of the 1400 supporters will be connected in this way. Just my theory through

Blackburn now have a similar set-up don't they? Aren't you seeing a positive growth in interest, e.g. attendance?
