GNU_Linux Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Basically where does your club draw it's fans from geographically? Interested in how far out from your clubs town/city catchment stretches. (old firm are obviously a special case as they have fans from Tighnabruaich to Timbuktu) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think there's a tendency for people to see Motherwell as representing Lanarkshire rather than just the town itself. East Kilbride is obviously dominated by Old Firm fans, but outwith that it's overwhelmingly Motherwell despite being practically joined onto Hamilton. I'd imagine it's a similar situation in places like Carluke, Rutherglen, Lanark etc. East Kilbride is weird in general. I know more Partick Thistle fans than Accies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Clyde and a few StMirren fans as well which I suppose is a legacy of the amount of people from Glasgow who were decanted there when it was first built 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. X Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 In the main Edinburgh and the lothians, but we do draw a fair number of supporters from slightly further afield like the Borders and Fife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'd guess that most of our support is from North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire, with most in South Ayrshire being Ayr United fans. Probably pretty much every town in Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock and Ayr, have a majority of Old Firm fans though. I guess there are also a few St Mirren and Morton fans in some parts of North Ayrshire like Largs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The City and Shire primarily, and the central belt 80s glory boys. There’s also a fair amount of Highland and Orkney supporters, probably from the 80s when we were good and pre-Caley/County. Aberdonians (of my generation anyway) seem to be more likely to leave Aberdeen than their equivalents in Edinburgh, so I think our younger fan base is spreading out a bit to Glasgow and Edinburgh. I certainly know plenty, myself included. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Inverness itself is a Rangers town with a few County fans. Everything from North Kessock to the North Pole is County. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
