Average attendances for Bank of Scotland Premier League matches rose three per cent to 15,658 and an extra 103,351 supporters came through the gates in 2004/05 compared to the previous season.
It follows yesterday’s announcement by the Football League in England that attendances across all three divisions were at a 45-year high.
However, the figures also show that a larger percentage of the population attends professional soccer matches in Scotland compared to England, Italy, Spain, France, Holland and Germany.
Lex Gold, executive chairman of the SPL said: “This was a stunning season with competition throughout the league culminating in all the main issues being decided in the last weekend, and in the case of the Championship, the last few minutes.”
