PS:We did. Once. And that was for our final game of the season in 1971/72 when we were promoted. Our average (home) crowd that season was 17K , about 9K fewer what it will be this season.
But If your point is that our very recent crowds aren't historically unusually high then i'm sure you'll know that 2015/16 will mark the first time in our 115 year history that we will have 4 seasons in a row with an average attendance of over 25K.
And our average attendance this year so far is higher than in any other year in our history apart from last year and the year before that and the year before that.
1971-72 was a good season and we had Willie Irvine in our team.
