SPARTANS FC  In 2005/06 Spartans took two more Scottish League scalps at City Park when Third Division leaders Berwick Rangers were beaten 1-0 and Queen’s Park defeated 3-2. First Division leader St Mirren then escaped from City Park with a 0-0 draw in the fourth round, Spartans squandering a good chance just a few minutes from time to cause one of the greatest cup upsets of all time. With the Spartans fans clad in sombrero-style hats, a record crowd of 3,346 crammed into City Park for the match, with temporary seating used to increase the capacity. Saints won the replay 3-0 on a romantic night for Spartans at Love Street on Valentine’s Night. Although the official attendance was originally given as 4,295, a record for a match involving Spartans, St Mirren later confirmed that the real figure was in well excess of 5,000. The biggest travelling support – estimated at over 900 – ever to follow Spartans pitched up at Love Street that night, adding a splash of colour the occassion and giving the team a vociferous backing.

We don't fiddle with crowd attendances
