Livingston boss David Martindale has called on the local community to rally around the club.
The Lions will be cheered on by a bumper crowd on Saturday as they host St Johnstone in their final home match before the split thanks to over 4100 tickets being handed out to local clubs and organisations.
And Martindale says that can make all the difference in getting the players over the line.
Speaking to the Courier, he commented: “I think it would be fantastic to get as many fans behind us for this last wee push.
“I know we’re going to have a big crowd in terms of the free tickets, which is a fantastic initiative that has been well received, but I’d also urge any fans coming to try and get their neighbours, pals, uncles, grannies – everyone – to come along to the game.
“We’ve not got the biggest of supports but when we do get fans into the ground it gives the players a huge lift and it gives me a huge lift as well.
“Anything the fans can do to try and get along to this game – we’re going to need your support and we’re going to need your help.
“Hopefully we can be sitting around 5000 home fans for this game. If we’re ever to do that on a weekly basis it would be incredible but if we can do it on Saturday and it could make all the difference.”
He added: “I know the players buzz off it. They always do when we’ve got a large and vocal crowd supporting us.
“We need them to turn out and we need them to be loud and cheering the team on.
“No matter the outcome, no matter what happens during the game, I’d urge everyone to just try and be as positive as you can because we’re going to need it.”
