After being relegated the previous season, the club's board of directors announced a plan in July to return to full time football for the first time since 1971. To raise the finance, the club proposed a covenant scheme which would involve 7,000 supporters pledging £30 per annum over a three or four-year period.Alex Milligan Give us the money https://www.newspapers.com/clip/134746426/kilmarnock-standard/ 6 November 2023 Kilmarnock Standard 8 July 1983 1 Newspapers.com The plan was ditched in September due to the lack of response from supporters which was hardly surprising given that the average attendance the previous season was less than half of the required number.Alex Milligan No Full Time At Rugby Park https://www.newspapers.com/clip/134747128/kilmarnock-standard/ 6 November 2023 Kilmarnock Standard 9 September 1983 56 Newspapers.com The support dwindled further during the season with 4 home league games recording an attendance of less than 1,000. The average attendance of 1,359 was the lowest recorded in the 20th century.https://www.fitbastats.com/kilmarnock/club_records_league_attendance.php Average Home League Game Attendances www.fitbastats.com 1 October 2022 On the field, Killie finished in mid table despite a promising start of 7 wins in their first 9 games. However, a run of 10 games without a win in the new year put the club near the relegation zone. Three wins from the final 5 games sealed their place in the league for another season.
