unfortunately, what mr mac says about our attendances over last thirty years and the seventy per cent empty for most games, is correctly the unfortunate reality of the situation. even when the green arsecheek comes visiting (or, when the five year old zombie blue arsecheek finally does visit), we can't fill the ground.
at same time, don't think there is one single jags fan who looks at the city end (or the bing as it is affectionately known as to some, gnome heaven to others), or indeed any visiting opposition fan, and enthusiastically thinks "that looks great, makes the stadium look so much better" (and "wish we had something like that at our stadium" if they're a visitor).
so while we can't justify building a stand with seats or a terracing at the city end solely for the sake of "to make the place look a bit better", how about this ..... the club erects a hoarding the length of the city end, height of ns, and gets the guy who did the mural walking up to the jhs, to paint a stand jam packed with thistle fans ..... or contact art college, get them to take it on as a project for their students ..... if it gets in way of the view of advertising scaffold, just extend its height ..... the club could even make some money from it, by getting actual supporters to pay (for example) twenty five pounds each to have their mugshots painted on it, cover it with a decent coating, and it will last for decades
