Drew Busby ! Posted November 29, 2009 The whole thing is going down the dumper, regardless of whom you support. It certainly is. Heading back to 1990's figures and beyond... A few figures more or less at random from those days, from Celtics 2 home games against Hearts in those seasons... 1995-96 33K, 37K 1994-95 26K, 18K 1992-93 26K, 16K Another year or two of the SPL in its present moribund condition, and we'll be starting to see these kind of attendences again.

Sydney Posted November 29, 2009 Celtic and Rangers fans, though, just want to see their teams humping the opposition by 3-4-5 goals. They have no interest in seeing the league competitive (as it seems to be this year). Hearts fans are the same - we dont want to see competitive matches we might lose - we like to see our team winning - that's why our crowds are highest when we believe we're going to win games. Nonetheless, I dont care if Celtic's crowds are dropping - lets just hope that either Celtic or Rangers fail to get into the CHampions League next year, let's see their finances and crowds drop further and let's hope that the Jambos can finally do something. Maybe winning the league in the next 5 years isn't such a far fetched idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samster Posted November 29, 2009 It's just so desperately disappointing that we chose this year to be really poor when the OF are at their worst. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mighty Thor Posted November 29, 2009 Tynecastle for the St Johnstone game wasn't much better. I'm not sure what the official attendance was but I think you'd be lucky if the actual attendance was 11k. I know of 5 people around me in Wheatfield F that didn't show.

Deans Jambo Posted November 29, 2009 They and Rangers might start to give away teams a bigger allocation again (if the away team wants them!). I'm sure if we were up near the top we could take at least 3k to Ibrox/Parkhead for a league game as we did easily in the 80's. Aberdeen usually sell out their allocation at Ibrox such is the hatred between them so they would probably take more and Hibs possibly would also (this depends on them continuing their Brazilian like form). The realisation for Celtic/Rangers fans is that they will not see players like Larsson/Sutton/Hartson/Petrov, Laudrup/Gascoigne/De Boers/Van Bronckhurst for the forseeable future. They're back to where they were in the early 90's for Celtic and the early 80's for Rangers and surely for the rest of us that's a good thing? (If not good for them but **** them!) Gorgie rule!

The official attendance for that one was 13,456 It seems endemic across the SPL If there was one team you'd expect to be beating the trend at the moment it would be the verdant methadonists of our dockside quarter who are, after all enjoying an uncharacteristically cracking start to the season. There were officially 13,005 at Easter Road yesterday And that's for a game which mathematically could have put them top Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJGJ Posted November 29, 2009 Think it was last season they had 53,000 -- this season they have only around 47,000 season ticket holders -- they have had a large advertising campaign this season to encourage fans -- seems the much vaunted waiting list has disappeared (now where have I heard that before ?) At their AGM they announced sales were over 10% down from previous seasons but would not confirm exact totals. Rangers have been hit in a simiar fashion with only around 38,000 ticket holders this season Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
