Home attendances?

Not knowing our average attendances the last time we were in the first division or the attendances through out the division last season maybe it's up to the support of other teams to comment on whether these figurs are up or down?

In between doing some studying and catching up with some reading I have been having a look at some of the published attendances through out the Bells First division, I am actually shocked that our average attendance is so low. Some of the following teams have only played four games at home and yet they make our support look paltry.

 

Teams St Mirren Partick Falkirk
3,813 4,011 3,762
3,079 5,157 3,789
2,978 3,233 3,449
4,711 3,059 3,813
3,500    
2,538    
Tot 20,619 15,460 14,813
Avr Att 3,437 3865 3706


 

Teams Hamilton Q.O.S Airdrie
2,176 1,910 2,365
3,543 2,521 2,009
1,904 1,639 1,652
2,017 1,708 1,484
1,522 2,734 1,900
2,870 2,059 2,548
Tot 14,032 12,571 11,958
Avr Att 2,338 2,095 1,993


 

Teams St Johnstone Clyde Ross County Raith Rovers
2,384 3,800 2,666 1,784
2,570 1,101 2,781 1,540
3,835 2,484 2,486 2,111
2,763 1,367 3,062 1,491
  1,456    
  1,196

As a talking point, does anyone think that away fans are staying away? Does anyone still feel that we have a number of ex-Diamonds out there who have never came back to games? Are we just suffering from the decline that is effecting all of Scottish football?

As I have said on numerous occasions I think the pricing of matches is way over the odds but with out cutting wages through out the team or the full of Scottish football taking part in a total price over haul I can't see any thing being done about it.
