Libertarian Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The capacity is just over 10,000. If the east and west stands each hold 3,000 and the stands behind the goals 2,000 each this would suggest an attendance of around 7,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeskaboyuk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I certainly prefer this ground to the horrible tight decrepit Broomfield. If they had dismantled the wee Wendy house and rebuilt it within one of the open corners it would have given this place a much better identity.

I was in the South Stand behind the goals. I thought that the Airdrie stand looked quite full. However you would have had a much better view from the East Stand. It's a shame as I remember Airdrie at Broomfield always had a reasonably good support of around 3,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALBO Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Attendance was 6,555. So possibly just over 2,000 Airdrie fans which is a very good uplift on their usual home support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there were patches of empty seats here and there. Again, not a bad home crowd when you think of what Livingston or Ross County bring to their home games.

Sandy Beech Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 On 12/02/2024 at 12:49, Mikey1874 said: Airdrie fan said attendance was 7734. The BBC website figure (6555) was completely incorrect. Hearts sold near enough 4600 tickets (2800 East Stand + 1800 North Stand). The main stand actually holds 3700, and Airdrie sold 3100 odd in there... take away block A (reserved for press spillover) 250 + a few rows behind each dugout and odd seats here and there = deduct 600 off that 3700.

Maidstone who play in the 6th tier in England would have been absolutely hoping for an away draw to a team like City, Liverpool, Man U etc, they seemed almost gutted that they only got Coventry away, but that will still be a huge pay day for them.
