A llad insane Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So we had nearly 2,800 fans at Dingwall today, long journey,poor road & pretty bad conditions. That's simply an amazing following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Was mightily impressed when they announced how many reds there were. Seemed in good voice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Great stuff. thought theyd only increased our allocation to 2200,so they must have allowed the extras in the other stand on the day. Maybe another away game might suit us..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InversneckieDob Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 What I canna understand is how few County had, sub 2000 was it? This tournament is half of their (and our) shot at actually winning summat. I understand there's a season ticket culture these days, and with cup ties nae being on it, there's an extra shell-out for the game. But it's nae like it was Queens Park or the like in the first round, this was a home game against a big side (a side that they have a terrific record against at home) for a 1/4 final place. If I was a County fan, I'd be well disappointed with that turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Its a strange one.Their home gates for the size of town are very good.You would think more would be up for the SC,than run of the mill league games. Saying that,our home SC crowds have dived over the years for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InversneckieDob Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Saying that,our home SC crowds have dived over the years for some reason It's down to season tickets. Folk have got out of the habit of shelling out on a week by week basis. Add to that, any time we get a home tie that's remotely tasty, it's moved to a half arsed kick off time/day.

Elgindon Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 St's are part of the problem,but theres more to it than that.My first memory of a SC game was during Bonthrones era.We were getting crowds around 10,000 in '74/75 for home games prior to the SC game v Motherwell,but got 24,000 for that one. League crowds are probably a bitty more now,but weve struggled to get 10,000 for some SC games.Theyre down at most other clubs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup was a much bigger deal then, also, we'd put out Deadco and the Joooot in the previous rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdmontonDandy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Remember that Motherwell game, great crowd. Team that day, Clark, Hair, Mclelland, Thomson, Young, Miller, Purdie, Henry, Jarvie, Williamson and Graham. Subs Davidson and Smith. Graham scored for 'Well right before half-time. Some absolute duds on that team, boy were we shite around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
