An encouraging sign. By my math, it's a 2.5% increase for the league as a whole (but feel free to double check that). 7.7% if you take out the Old Firm.

Manager Tony Mowbray said: "All year long, the fans have been a big influence and their backing has been magnificent."
Some noise at the library? Hilarious. :D

Just good to show if the others do well then the crowd is there, Dundee United are in the process of selling 17,000 tickets for the cup final with Celtic (Not sure how mant they will sell of course), their average crowd is around 8K.
The good will for these teams is there , we need to get some of them winning things and beating the OF.

Aberdeen having a good season probably accounts for a big part of the rise. Teams like Killie have had terrible attendances of late, no wonder at £18 a ticket!

No doubt that Gretna with their "benefactors" will work their way up into the SPL with their 600 average, while we contemplate losing the likes of Dundee or Dunfermline, hardly seems right IMO.
