St.Ricky Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 Figures have shown excellent growth from 3,000 to 3,669, to 4450, to last seasons 5,341 (if I am right. So - will be reach a crowd average of 6,000 (75% of Capacity)? Quote

That would be nice but a tad unrealistic, likelihood is numbers will fall; in the short term anyway; until people see how we are doing, let's assume nine wins in a row (I can dream can't I?) numbers probably would increase especially if we were playing attractive football but it is more likely to depend on performances than actual results, we Buddies are nothing but realists (well most of us are). If (Goody) or whoever is in charge generates the right ambiance and attitude among players and staff ............ well, we could have a good season. I am NOT going to predict anything other than .... this is St Mirren, what else would you expect? Quote

faraway saint Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) A predicted, or dreamed up, 12% increase after we've played in the top league with the obvious increased away support that brings, is more than unlikely. There is a ceiling that the home support can increase by, and as Jaybee suggests, it would need an unrealistic run of form to take us into the top 4 of the league to generate such interest. Although performances without results is a sure way of losing support and belief. Maybe Ricky is Tony, they have a similar outlook. Edited June 26, 2019 by faraway saint Quote
DougJamie Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Right now, a positive thread is welcome. Make a quick popular appointment, sign some decent players, get a point v Dons or Sevco and will be on up Quote

Although to add, my wee cuz Shetland has renewed her Season Ticket for the Main Stand. I think she's back from holiday today. She'll probably be on later to laugh at Sweep and the Houston Halfwit. What a lass she is. Quote

Tommy Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Numbers will likely depend on how many games we let loads of kids in free with the odd adult paying. Quote

Hendo Posted June 27, 2019 Report Posted June 27, 2019 Ironically, if we do better next season, attendances could fall. There was an increase at the end of last season as every game was important. If we're comfortable in 8th or 9th, a lot of the non diehards might not bother. Quote

Nah we’ll only play RossCo once at home this season as they are likely to be bottom six. 😉 Quote

I think that, if you look back, you will see that you took a similar line last year. You have to be right sometime I guess. Maybe this year.... Unless you break the habit of a lifetime and buy a season ticket and actually help increase the numbers. Pigs might fly before that happens. Quote

Season ticket sales will likely be down a bit after last season's shitfest. I also expect average home gates will be down because of the above and the loss of Dundee. I expect it to settle at around 4800 to 5000 average. Quote

Hopefully we keep selling more and more though. Quote
munoz Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 A "marquee" signing or two might help boost ST sales. Quote
Guest TPAFKATS Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 Just read that. Delighted to be wrong about my prediction. No idea whether Goodwin is behind those numbers but very good news indeed.I'd be surprised if Jim Goodwin has bought as much as one season ticket. Quote
