Yesterday' Crowd


Recommended Posts

Plaudits to all that went. Listening to the game on the radio in sunny Bristol I could feel the atmosphere over the radio. Boy it was awesome. Mind you my nerves were shattered as usual and when Hamilton got their penalty my earphones shot of my ear !!! I managed to get them in to hear the roar when Elliot saved it, absolutely brilliant also when the final whistle went - FANtastic. Well done everyone,team, management and fans.

Atmosphere was good for a game against Hamilton with only 100 odd away fans.

Home fans have really responded with noise and backing in the last couple of home games and the players have responded and have all been mentioning it.

Was good to see the whole Derry joining in with the songs on Saturday rather than just the usual few hundred down the bottom corner.

The 3 stand Hullo Hullo after the penalty save was class.

My only grumble is that we continued to charge full price for the post spit games so just got our usual numbers (5000 Dees v Hamilton, 4850 Dees v St Johnstone).

Last season we got 6500 Dees against Ross County when we opened the Shankly and reduced the prices (family deals) and 6200 Dees against Hamilton the game before with the same deal and Shankly opened again.

1500 extra Dees at both those games with deals this stage last season compared to zero extra Dees this season. Just the regular 4700 to 5000 who have been going all season.

If the Partick game next Saturday is a dead rubber, we'll do well to have 4700 Dees. They could have at least reduced the prices for that to get in a good crowd. Every other team has done it bottom 6.

I'm aware they've gave out free tickets to season ticket renewals before anyone mentions so I do know they've done something but look at the last 2 home games this season Dees turn outs above in this post compared to the two last season for the difference.

I could not get my free tickt v Accies as the queues were too long at the shop on Sat. Nor could I get my season ticket..

 

Not much use to you now I guess but I went into the shop after the game and picked up my free ticket for next weekend.

I wonder if the home crowd has realised that our horrific home form was possibly not helped by our lack of patience.

The support on Saturday was outstanding even when the passing was atrocious. We made our home advantage count and I don't think we always do that.

I think it is understood, certainly among forum users, but it’s a habit that’s orobably hard to break.

The fear, of throwing points away, by failing to convert possession into chances, and the few chances we create into goals, is strong!

I’ve often felt more confident of holding onto a lead (or building on it) in away games, and perhaps some of the players do as well.

One of the more nervous seasons, for sure!

Think the home crowd against Partick will be big, everyone I know got the free ticket for that game :)

Yeah I did the same. The area around my season ticket looked quite full on the system when I got them.

I just found it quite interesting that even when there was a horrific failure to make a 10-yard pass there were no groans. I guess the fans just realised the significance of the game and  decided to put aside their usual disdain for incompetence.

The attitude of the players was different class though and I'm sure that energy passed into the stands.

Goes to show what even a little bit of fan engagement can do. Connection between supporters and club has been very good in the last few weeks.

A complete change of social media strategy coupled with some thanks and recognition direct form players / staff to supporters make a world of difference. Even on match day when things ain’t going our way. 

Hopefully ST sales are still brisk ?

Think the crowd also fed off of Wighton constantly getting at their wing back. What an exciting player, beat him every time and I felt that a chance was going to come begging every time he touched the ball. Not a coinscedence that he created Holts goal.
