Colin Farquharson writes: Isn't surprising that Aberdeen, with a much bigger North-east population to call on, could not top the last-round attendance at Castle Stuart, between Nairn and Inverness,  the year before and only just headed Castle Stuart's 2014 total attendance.
Reason? Possible customer resistance to the admission charges.
