The funsters

I think I've found Uniteds highest average, 12,830, for the 88'89 season. Can't seem to find a higher one. The grounds in Scotland are much smaller now so really big crowds are a thing of the past. Tannadice is about half it's old capacity, Dens a quarter. Easter Road once held 65,000, mental.

I would have thought we would have had bigger averages in the league winning season or the following season that surprises me .

Average league winning season, 11,133, so 88-89 season looks the best, over 12,000.

Serious question but what Ground restrictions were in place in season 2021/2022 when last both the clubs were in the SPL at same trime ?

There were probably restrictions on crowds at stadia in 2021 because of COVID-19?

Not really No.

The early league cup matches were still restricted then both clubs had their first home league match restricted but after that the restrictions were lifted for the entire season .

We were still growing our fanbase at that time, if the same thing happened now our average would be much higher if the Stadium capacity allowed for it.
We continued to grow our fanbase.
We took 28000 to Hampden for the 2010 cup final. In our first final in 74 which I attended there was maybe 5000?
In 50 years we have grown considerably as a club whereas in the same 50 years the Fun have declined considerably as a club.
I'm afraid that is undeniable fact.

Im in total agreement , im not for a second disputing any of that but that's also not what I am saying either .

According to the local paper "as many as 6000" United fans were expected at Hampden in 1974. Several dogs invaded the pitch at that game.

That was just the bottles thrown between both sets of fans. Add in in the cans and it was nearer 10000

Celtic fans fighting amongst themselves in the Celtic end according to the report. You see the dogs on the pitch on YouTube.

Missed a probable sell out at home to Sevco in August and a big gate (likely 8-10k) at home to hibs on boxing day, enough to change an average over 19 games from 7100 to 8000

Ie total attendance across both games restricted to 5000 instead of 20000 roughly

135k divided by 19 or 150k divided by 19
