roverthemoon Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I was there during that Ronnie Coyle charity match a few years ago and noticed quite a few people in the Celtic end. Wouldn't surprise me if they were all locals. I'm pretty sure there was a Kirkcaldy CSC flag in the end that day. We were in the Estuary for a drink before the Dunfermline game and there were lots of locals cheering on Celtic against Aberdeen. One guy at the bar was talking about how he couldn't sleep after they beat Barca. Any local Celtic fan who wants a ticket for the home end will be able to get one sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds are so low at the moment that something like a voucher scheme could add 500 to a gate against Hamilton. That's all cash in the bank. Not everyone will go for it but enough people will want to guarantee their ticket to make it worthwhile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 A pre season game away to Deveronvale next season would be a good guesture and make a change from the usual teams we play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I doubt Celtic will sell out there end. I'm just hoping we get a 6k+ crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Dont see why the voucher scheme is a non starter Season ticket holders get first lick at tickets then Supporters Club and other organised groups,then voucher holders,then public sale Why would fans need to bother about getting a voucher when we've never sold out the home end in years? If it adds 500 to the gate, then fine, but to me it just another unnecessary barrier to folk wishing to attend. When did we last sell out the home end?

CALDERON Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Was it not last time we had a decent draw at home, Aberdeen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mij Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Why would fans need to bother about getting a voucher when we've never sold out the home end in years? Because we ain`t played Celtic or Rangers in years who contrary to belief attract big crowds.I see and probably many others do see Celtic at home in the last 16 of the SC an attractive draw Introducing a voucher scheme say over two games gives the opportunity for Rovers supporters to get their hands on a ticket before the away supporters as opposed to a potential open sale where many tickets for the home end could and would be be snapped up by Celtic supporters If it adds 500 to the gate, then fine, but to me it just another unnecessary barrier to folk wishing to attend. When did we last sell out the home end? In our situ a hundred added to any gate would be a bonus. Our last sell out games funnily enough were against Celtic/Rangers.Calderon also mentioned the Aberdeen cup game where the crowd was given at 7,050 although there appeared to be very few if any apare seats in the home end Edited December 14, 2012 by Mij 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be amazed if it's a sell-out. I'd need to check the attendances from back in the '90s, but I seem ro recall games against Rangers and Celtic were still not quite at full capacity as we didn't always sell-out our areas of the ground. Tickets go on sale next week, so it'll be interesting to see how the club sort out the ticket arrangements.

Mij Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) The game is on a Sunday lunchtime and it's live on TV. I'll be amazed if it's a sell-out. May well affect the crowd but hey ho we`ll still coin in a few pennies I'd need to check the attendances from back in the '90s, but I seem ro recall games against Rangers and Celtic were still not quite at full capacity as we didn't always sell-out our areas of the ground. Last Celtic game it was around 8,500 and 9,700 against the now defunct Rangers.I take crowds given out by tannoy announcers and clubs with a pinch of salt anyway.I recall us playing Hearts at San Starko late 90`s and you could almost count the empty seats on one hand yet the crowd was giving as thousands below capacity.A far more truer figure of attendances can be gleened from the Polis.

roverthemoon Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) The main thing is the TV money for me. That's an £82,000 windfall there. Anything the crowd or hospitality brings in is a bonus. I'm pretty sure hospitality will be full given the time of the match and the fact pubs won't be open. A fry up for breakfast in hospitality followed by a few pints and then the game sounds a perfect Sunday. The main thing that with both Celtic games this has been a good year financially. Given our league position I'd be keen for the Board to pocket this cash and keep it for the running of the club. Might make things a bit more comfortable next season.
