Just read the match report on OS. Shocked when I read that 1818 was the best home league gate since first game of the season.
Yikes!
Chatting to a couple of fans at the game we reckoned the average age of spectator was in bus pass territory.
Wonder what the strategy is for getting future supporters through the door.
Good to see Arena and cafe set up yesterday and plastic main pitch will also bring in revenue but it is sad to see such a small core support.
Average attendances this season
Dundee - 4320
Falkirk - 3146
Raith Rovers - 1873
Morton - 1765
QUEENS - 1699 ( 1658 last season )
Hamilton - 1206
Livingston - 1169
Dumbarton - 927
Alloa - 813
Cowdenbeath - 587
Tam agree it is pretty poor and it is a struggle to attract youngsters to today's games. Only 10 years ago 2003 - 04 Queens average was 2,360 - next week's visit of the 'Dee will put the average up though with their great away support.
Thought it was a decent crowd yesterday despite the weather condition .
Great support down from Falkirk also
Just read on the P&B site that 346 Falkirk fans made the journey on Saturday which was nearly twice what they brought the first timeQuote:

Has this been one of worst seasons ever in terms of weather. Its seems to have been wet just about every match this season
Hope to God its half decent on Saturday, although I suspect that at best it will be cold, damp and windy!
Dundee will bring a good crowd with them, but a sunny, dry day would entice some home punters away from their fires.
We are at Hamilton Accies level of crowds now unfortunately!!!
