Though some mocked you for this - these results vindicate your positivity in this area. I do expect higher crowds at home next season too... Though the play-offs and play-off final ties were exciting, and a bit stressful - the outcome has brought a euphoria that will still carry hope into next season.

No concern about any detractors Sweepers - The signs were there for anyone who cared to read them and had an open mind IMO. Agree with your comments and would only add that a great deal on season tickets might take us to 4,000. 6,000 might make us the 6th best-supported team in the Premiership with neither Dundee team in there.

chalky1 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hopefully a few of the fans who turned up yesterday will hopefully come back on a more regular basis. With Additional crowds bring additional revenue which needs to be spent wisely. As mentioned here and on other threads, a few decent players in and we could be propelling ourselves up the league. More prize money for finishing higher up the league as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstbuddie Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 We are currently 30,000 behind Kilmarnock (with a smaller catchment area than us) and if we were to match their average attendance of 6,894, we would be close to "filling in the corners" which would enable us to accommodate bigger away supports without detriment to the home support and therefore increasing our income. But then some of our support firmly believe we are not 'in that league' and that the Renfrewshire area does not have the potential to match the likes of Kilmarnock and Motherwell, or even Dundee in a bad year.

northstbuddie Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 We need to be adventurous, not just in the playing sense, but in trying to attract greater investment in the club. If we were able to attract say upwards of 6,000 next season as an average attendance then the present stadium is likely to be too small in the not too distant future. However, at the moment we can only dream about housing the size of crowd that Kilmarnock attracted for their last game of the season against Sevco. Also in our favour is our proximity to Paisley Airport and the M8 motorway in attracting youth internationals etc. and other events. At the same time the local council should get its act together in surfacing (not resurfacing) footpaths in the surrounding area - at the moment they are a disgraceful embarrassment and threat to public safety, not to mention the litter which is strewn about as it is everywhere else in the town.

Scook Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Good to see an increase in the home attendances, from what I tried to work out our average away attendance has been around 800, wonder how that compares to the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the barrhead teacher Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Increased attendances come with a successful and entertaining team on the park. Am pleased we were able to keep attendances up this season despite how we fared for much of it but retaining those who turn up for the big and crucial matches requires a better product on the park. That's why Kilmarnock managed to boost figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portmahomack saint Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Think the most accurate way to work out a clubs attendance figures and size of the club would be to judge them on there 4 lowest league games, and then take a average, think you will find ours is maybe higher than Motherwell's, Livingston's crowds were 1400 on average higher than Hamiltons who's fan base is small. but is larger than Livingstons get my drift....

The problem with that is that it will inflate the size of the smaller club. We have to take Livingston's away crowd into account twice but Livingston don't have another Livingston for their count. We'd have say Livi, Hamilton, Motherwell and St Johnstone. Livi would have Hamilton, Motherwell and St Johstone just like us but then their next team to include would be us and we bring loads of fans. The only fair way to compare would be to include only the opponents we both face at home the same number of times. i.e. we ignore the 4 matches we play each other and one of the OF teams probably.
