wellboy1991 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Fancy 2-0 Saints, OHara from a penalty following a Mugabi blunder. Then a new Saints signing to score a wonder goal. We will huff and puff and create the sum total of nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Saintsible Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Just now, Arch Stanton said: I'll answer without any snideness. Well's average league crowd that season was around 8000. Crowd for that game was 26,709 (with hundreds, if not thousands lifted over, like myself (I was 13 at the time) or doubled up). The 20,000 over and above your average would, of course, have included extra Well fans and neutrals but there must have been upwards of 15,000 made the trip through from Paisley. To give it some more context, Motherwell’s largest league that season was 18,000 for the visit of the late Rangers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what was St Mirren's average league crowd that season? Less than Motherwell And there is video of the game. The crowd cheers are noticably louder when Motherwell score. Probably 60:40 split in favour of Motherwell. Now your old boys did a good job bringing themselves along to Fir Park to see you get put out the cup but you are better than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's your go to or claim to fame Sparky then congrats to you.

Less than Motherwell A whole 700 less than Motherwell (7170 v 6415) and that was without 4 visits from the Old Scum. The crowd was easily 60:40 in our favour.

Despite there being audiovisual evidence that proves there were more Motherwell fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Hey, guys, remember when Motherwell were so poorly run they ended up with millions of debt, then bribed the league to stop being relegated? I don't think many mention it, but you know, when you think about it, that's quite the dick move.

welldaft Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Why does anyone engage with Capt Numbnuts . I would expect 1st time posters too but come on. To me this result matters less than our quite frankly embarrassing dominance over St Mirren in recent years. For two sides that are roughly similar size it must be tough to take for the buddies. In fact judging by comments on here it clearly rankles. St Mirren might even finish above us this season for only the second time since dinosaurs were roaming the earth* * approximate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 In years to come this game will surpass even that fabled day when the entire town of Paisley descended upon Fir Park in terms of fans claiming one-upmanship. An opening day boo-athon, with both sets of fans claiming a hat trick of worst team, worst manager and, most importantly, most vocally displeasured support. "Mind that day in '22?, we brought 25,000 to your 8,000 capacity stadium and out booed you all fucking day". A nonstop, 90 minute cacophony of anger and derision from all 4 corners of the ground, and only £25 a skull for the pleasure. It's fucking great to have the fitba back. 0-0, and fucking "booooo". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
