Scottish premier attendances this year

[midfieldDynamo]

Being as this is the first year without Rangers, does anybody have any info with regard to average attendances for the SPL? From a cursory glance, it seems Celtic are not filling their ground even though they publish sell-out figures, is it the same for other clubs? I would have thought that the increased chance of a european spot would have boosted crowds at Aberdeen, Motherwell etc etc.

I'm not sure of the capacity of Celtic, but the other clubs seem much the same to me. The lower league with rangers in are attracting more fans though

The attendances are really poor in Scotland, with the exception of the Old Firm. Most grounds are half-empty unless it is a local derby. No one really knows the 'official' attendances for any match because some people buy tickets and don't turn up.
Have a look at this article in the Guardian about attendances at Old Trafford, very interesting. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/apr/12/manchester-united-attendances-police-figures

Yeah I think the team in division three are the ones seeing the increase when their teams play Ranger.
