Match attendance of 1,564 according to BBC. What a sad state of affairs that is.

How on Earth are clubs like Livi surviving on that? Average it out to £20 a ticket and they`re barely getting £30k and for that they need to be paying wages, flood lights, technical staff, stewarding, cleaners...

Clearly their business model works for them.
They spent a long time in the Premier League and then came back up after relegation.
Spending within their means.

Shows the benefits of being in the Premier!

I`d have thought that by now Livi would have attracted more fans through the doors but it must be hard in a town full of people who are descendants of Edinburgh/Glasgow people.

Makes you realise how lucky the Pars are to have such a strong core support.

Livi were transplanted there from Edinburgh where they had a very low fan base.

Hardly a surprise they haven’t developed a decent support.

I actually think their support has got smaller though out time 🤔

I think you’re right. I remember going there when Leish was manager and they had a healthy attendance in the main stand, behind the goals and around to the half way line.

Not sure if it was all freebies to schools or whatever, but definitely my first few trips there to see us, there were more home supporters than now

If they were playing in my back garden I would close the curtains.

I never actually went to Livi back then but I do remember them bringing more support than they did when we had them at EEP last season 🤷🏻‍♂️

They genuinely did have some great players and teams. I mind Leigh Griffiths scoring a great individual goal at the Cowden end.

Or David Fernandez and that Spanish midfielder… can’t remember his name but it was a proper coup for Livi to get him.

They’d kick the F out of the bushes, damage the fence then punt the ball through the neighbours window. Martindale would be screaming for more until full time when he’d talk through his nose about no having the finances to pay for the window.

Generational!

My wee man is a par, I’m a par, my dad is a par, my grandad was a par and my great grandad was a Crossgates Primrose fan 🤷🏻‍♂️ he must have been there from the start with them.
