Paltry?? in terms of support for Scottish football clubs it's a big crowd and would be more if the ground was bigger however it's not so hey ho.
Paltry.
I borrowed the word from a Hearts fan.
You claim there would be more, but you have to go back to the early 60s for your team to get 22k average attendance.
For most of that time your capacity was considarably more than 22k. So no excuses there.

I don't see how posing that question can further your argument. It is irrelevant to compare one to the other in that way. It's a bizarrre view to promote.
Can you explain the rationale behind it?
Just think, if we rip out the club deck we'll be able to fill the ground to capacity.
Logic. Eh.

Worthless like any other club the attendances will drop go up due to performance, EVEN at Ibrox it happens, I know you might find that hard to believe but it does/has happened,over 10k outside of the big Glasgow 2 is a really good crowd these days for Scottish fitba, pity there are really only 3 clubs who can do that,Dundee UTD at a push maybe.

40 odd years of poor performances?
Even when you almost won the league in the mid 80s you couldn't manage an average of 22k.
RE: Scottish Challenge Cup, Season 2015-2016. - Fredstersafool - 30-11-2015
Think that average was more around 18k Worthless,however bad it is we are still better supported outside of the Glasgow 2,you lot stay away when yer shite just like Celtic fans are just now,it's what happens,admittedly it doesn't happen to often with yourselves and Celtic.
RE: Scottish Challenge Cup, Season 2015-2016. - TheWorthinGer - 30-11-2015
A paltry 18k.
RE: Scottish Challenge Cup, Season 2015-2016. - Fredstersafool - 30-11-2015
Aye it was indeed.
You ever been to ibrox?

18 grand and only losing the title on the last day. Very paltry!

The game got hardly a mention in the Scottish news, and no highlights on Sportscene, or the BBC Sport website. It's like it never even happened.
It was by far the largest crowd in Scottish football this weekend, more than double the Aberdeen crowd of 10, 843.
That's because in reality its a shite trophy that you have to play in due to your league position!! No-one outside of the teams that are in it care about it anyway, its the same as the Football League trophy in England!! But having said that, if you are in it, you might as well try to win it!!
As for the final, it should be held at Hampden, give both sets of fans and teams a day out at the National Stadium.

It was the single largest sporting event in the country this weekend. Twenty-two thousand people cared enough about it to attend. It should have merited some sort of media representation.
