Oh how ironic!

Over 4000 per game more than the best Dee side since 62?,now that is as surprising as sna faa ing aff a dyke.

Thats seriously disrespectful to the elders of our support who more than likely had the honour to watch that team, and an emerging United team without modern prejudice.

GB isn't dealing in prejudice, just facts.

The numbers are staggering,we keep hearing about the current DFC side being their best for years but the gulf in attendance figures on Tannadice ST appears to be getting wider in our favour.Maybe i have got this wrong but I'm sure Shedka will know?.

just read the attendance for their bring a friend for free game was 5381.

1600+ lower than any championship attendance last season at Tannadice

Don't think we need to compare these days as if you take away crowds off our attendance this season and our average home support us is around 7500-8000, a couple thousand more than the total average of the likes of Killie, St Mirren, the fun and Motherwell, it's only really lazy media, clueless pundits and the odd deeluded in deenial funster lump us in with them like we are same size of fanbase

8,402 yesterday with 486 Killie (would have expected 700-800 from them)

First sub 8000 home support and only just

Another very decent turnout though given the weather, the time of year with a couple weeks to Christmas be a lot of work days and shopping/market days out

Average for season now 10,174 with the next four home games being Celtic,Sheep, Hearts and Sevco

Atleast 3 of these will be 11k minimum, Hearts possibly 9-10k depending on form of both teams next 3 weeks

Would have been higher yesterday but I'm sure a few are saving up for a very long run of big games to come. Plus Xmas which tbf would affect the Funsters too.
But that 5381 Scotfoam Carnegie Blantyre Johnson Frame Arbuthnot Cabin Catering Fox Bedding Co Limited at Denz....
is truly pathetic.

Could it be that United's community initiatives in previous years are bearing fruit? It would be interesting to see how many of our younger fans benefitted from free tickets etc. in the past and now continue to support United.

When the Funsters rarely accept the reality, one of the things they point to is our community initiatives as a major factor.

Trying to take off my Tangerine specs I would say that Dundee FC has over a few years become a bit unfashionable.
There's a long list of reasons why United became fashionable and continue to grow support but listing them all would be a very long post.
