The Roseburn Stand, full of OF fans, always out shout and out sing the home fans, whereas if they are tucked away in the corner they have less influence. Regardless of the silly pictures though, I'm sure you knew that. I was in the ground for all of these games last year and we certainly weren't outshouted by Celtic for the opener. Up untik their jammy last minute winner against 10 men they weren't outsinging us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 39 minutes ago, Bridge of Djoum said: 4-5 times the amount of Hearts fans in the stadium and the ''OF'' is ''dominating''. In the last Rangers game at home, Deidco supporters were far more vocal than our support. Possibly because about half of the home support had gone home after half time. The rest of our support sat in silent disbelief watching our favourites getting horsed. Mind you, for CL happy clappers that’s called progress.

A good news story, no idea why some are trying to make it negative. There could be any number of reasons why some people don’t renew or we don’t get as big a number of brand new ST holders, including economic. With the high % of moaners in our support, maybe some folk just don’t fancy ending up sitting next to one of them all season and would prefer to pay as they go!

We only hit 13k on 3rd August last year so it's a bit early to call it a drop. Unless someone has the figures for 22nd June 2018 we don't know if there has been a drop. Six weeks to go before an acurate comparison can be made, we may end up in front when the season actually kicks off. I'm going by the figures the club put out last year and this year's.

It doesn't make any sense when comparing ticket sales, it would only make sense if you were comparing proportion of the stadium sold. If we added 20k seats next season and we sold the exact same as this season, next year would you be saying we've sold more than 20k less tickets in the new season? Apologies if you've explained it previously and I missed it, there's a lot to wade through here. * we've sold 256 less tickets this year. * sales are 2.4% less than this point last year. * we've sold out 76.6% available this year compared to 77.2% last year.

The first thing to note is that all we can do is compare the dot counts. When the club released the 11,500 figure it was 225 higher than that suggested by the dot count. The mismatch may be caused by the club including other seats sold, e.g. wheelchairs, hospitality or, this season, the way the financed seats were sold. The club sometimes also blocks some seats for reasons of restricted view, security, or making them available to away fans, so the dot count is only that, a count on the dots on e-tickets. However, there are differences in the stadium configuration between this year and last. The club has released around 100 extra "restricted view" seats in the wing sections of "N" and "T" for sale, but has also removed half of the seats in section "J" from sale. The net effect is that there are 262 fewer seats available this time round. As an example, if we had 100 seats to sell last year and we had a dot count of 20. That would suggest we had sold 80. This year there are only 90 seats available and a dot count of 25. The count is only 5 up on last year, but because there are 10 fewer seat available, then it suggests that we have only sold 65. The net effect is that sales are down by 15 (5 +10). Edited June 23, 2019 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
