The funsters

[TerryTheTerror]

It's only relevant from then as it's those teams highest ever crowds, Uniteds highest ever crowd was almost 60 years ago. Crowd averages now outside the big 4 are way lower but the grounds are much smaller.

Yeah, United's from 60 years ago doesn't mean anything nowadays either. I don't think you'll find anyone disagree what the fun were the biggest club in the city many years ago. 🤔

I was at a game at Tanny about the early 70s, I'm sure Davie Wilson was playing for United. Against Dumbarton, midweek game, rain lashing down, only about 3000 at the game but in the second half everyone in the standing parts of the ground moved into the shed. The North terrace and behind the other goal completely emptied as the rain battered down. You could move from end to end back then, ok for little games but a bit feisty when the old firm visited.

According to this book both Dundee and Aberdeens highest ever averages were in the 1950s, prob Hearts and Hibs the same, will have to check. It says Uniteds highest almost 40 years ago, just over 12,000. It goes Rangers, Celtic, Hibs, Hearts, Dundee, Aberdeen in that order but now with Celtic getting over 50,000 every week they would move to number 1 as the book is about 15 years old. United actually come in at 15th with that 12,000 average average. Dundee only averaged just over 16,000 when winning the league, United averaging just over 10000 when winning theirs.

I don't think 12830 is "just over" 12000 not to split hairs

Also these impressive averages were a full country thing in the wake of ww2 ending etc

Dundee being a prime example, in the season before the war, they averaged less than 4000, less than little (at the time) Dundee Utd

Then suddenly are 20k plus after the war

More modern times we cannot ignore the 2,800 average in 1996/97

It's a "rip the p1sh" nickname, rather than an aggresive nickname. No bigotry, no racism, no hate.....just a name that tries to get under their skin. It is one of the things that makes our rivarly different....we don't want to murder each other, we just want to bam each other up in the boozer!

This is absolutely spot on , I really really don’t like your team in any way , but I wish United fans absolutely no harm some of my in laws are United fans , and really does show the difference between us and the ugly sisters , the hatred between them is vile , saying all that I still hope you get beat every single game unless it benefits the Dees in some way

United might beat Queens and get Dundee in the next round. That would be a good yardstick for both teams. Dundee would obviously be fans but at least it's a Derby.
