norrie82 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know what our attendances have been this season. Are people not coming to games in the same numbers? I’m just asking Must yesterday’s crowd must be a huge concern for the board. I’ve noticed that our crowds haven’t been announced this season nor in the paper until yesterday Edited November 21, 2021 by norrie82 Quote

I’ve noticed that our crowds haven’t been announced this season nor in the paper until yesterday After watching that rubbish yesterday who is going to be attracted to watch that sort football in the freezing cold. Only the die hards will go week on week. Time to change to summer football. Put a good product on the park and punters may come back. Quote

chalky1 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Posted November 21, 2021 Cold day and you can still watch the game on St.Mirren TV. Would be interesting to see how many season ticket holders didn't turn up Quote
munoz Posted November 21, 2021 Report Posted November 21, 2021 I imagine with Covid still hanging around, many people will be worried about going to games. Quote
faraway saint Posted November 21, 2021 Report Posted November 21, 2021 Any way you paint it, not looking too good, considering we're 6th in the league. Quote
Tommy Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 Average numbers would be higher if Hearts fans were allowed in on our 1st home league game. Around the same time, 2000 Hibs fans were allowed into Fir Park. Quote
JJ McG Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 I wouldn’t look too much into it, we were only allowed 1k for the hearts game. Usually are gates are higher than the likes of Livvy, county and St Johnstone at least. Quote

All of them or just Celtic? It didn't look right but I wasn't sure if some of their homw games we're under covid restrictions? https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/scottish-premiership/attendances Quote
faraway saint Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 This details our home games, although, for some reason, the Dundee game is showing N/A. These figures average the same 2,981 as the Cinch data. Quote

Did Mr Needham, current Chairman of our club, ever explain the reason which lost us an income of minimum £20,000.00 but would suggest closer to £40,000.00? I cannot find an answer but may be he left an explanation on twitter. Quote
waldorf34 Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 I think the Rangers family stand issue has had long term repercussions Quote
garzo Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 I'm not going to games, at the moment... Here are some reasons that might apply to me and perhaps others? No thanks or recognition, none whatsoever, for season long financial outlay during season of no attendance, (didn't watch online) No invitation, email or otherwise, to renew season ticket, #INYOUWETRUST is crass, Red zone and restricted attendance shambles, No contact to advise if I did by a season ticket my seat was not available because of the red zone, No contact to advise if I did by a season ticket , because of the red zone, I would be moved to somewhere else, No contact to advise the red zone is no longer in place and I can have my seat as normal, Both ends of the ground being allocated to an away team, St Mirren Directors being supporters of other (Glasgow) clubs, SMISA appointment of Directors without a members vote, Shambolic organisation of club services, Rumours of Directors infighting, power struggle, Dissatisfaction with Kibble or ownership structure, It's too cold, Football is not very good, COVID is still an issue, Other things taking priority now, Just some thoughts... take your pick, No doubt I'll be back, one day soon, don't know when though...

I did noticed how empty outside the ground was just prior to k/o with nobody buying a ticket or waiting to get in at the turnstiles to get in. (West Stand) The walk along Underwood Rd and Greenhill Rd itself would put fans off due to the state of the pavements. Unless driving, the ground is in a horrible place for fans arriving on foot compared to Love St. Quote

Sat was only my 2nd game of the season for a lot of the reasons you have said. Certainly won't be going midweek for the Ross C or Celtic games so pending on the weather, Hibs might be the only other game i see this year. Quote
ironsaints87 Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 As a season ticket holder I decided work Saturday and glad I did from what I’ve read ,plus freezing cold.I couldn’t get enthusiastic for Livi, I’ve also missed a few other games this season for same reason or because I decided do something else. Not sure if I will go midweek game with County. Is it apathy ? I’m not sure but previous seasons always looked forward to games now I’m no bothered . Quote
munoz Posted November 22, 2021 Report Posted November 22, 2021 I've more or less given up on away games this season (so far), which is probably down to Covid and apathy. Have been to all home games and will continue to. Quote

Have been to all home games and will continue to. Pretty much my situation, other than attending home games v the vile bigots. Other than Killie, Hamilton, 'Well, and occasionally Livingston, I hadn't been attending away games pre-covid anyway. Two of them are now in the championship, so that narrows it down to two possibilities. I had other things on for both the other two away possibilities mentioned, so didn't go. If the last two years have taught me anything, it's that there are far more important things to be doing on a Saturday than spending 5 or 6 hours travelling to and attending a football match.
