cmontheloknow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Celtic Park packed to the rafters as usual. They have a bare arsed cheek to claim there were 42,000 people there. There were huge areas of empty sets everywhere. The place seemed a third full at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place seemed a third full at best. Can't believe this still gets trotted out. You count season ticket holders. They paid for all the games so they are counted even if they don't show up. Celtic have around 40k season tickets. Throw in pay at the gate and some away fans and there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a soft spot for Celtic? I said something about them the other week and you were sticking up for them then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deefiant Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just catching up - good to se people that play the game apply common sense to the O'Dea "incident" Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fine if it was called a "bought-a-ticketance" rather than an "attendance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That would be fine if it was called a "bought-a-ticketance" rather than an "attendance". Exactly. They haven't attended the game. Unless they're counting eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if there's 18,000 at a home game against ICT, the attendance is actually 40,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 On the 1 hand we have fans all over the country complaining that "football is too expensive" At Celtic park they have thousands of fans who spend a fortune on season tix and don't bloody go.

Nightmare Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 You count season ticket holders. The word "attendance" means 'being present at the event'. If you have bought a ticket (season ticket or otherwise) and do not go to the game, you are not in attendance and should not be counted as such. The vast majority of clubs reveal the actual attendance at their game and don't just lie about it. But that's because the vast majority of clubs aren't embarrassed by the pathetic turnout from their fans who proclaim to be the best in the world.

If Celtic have 40k season ticket holders, and lets say 150 came from Dingwall and a few hundred were in hospitality then Celtic have a pay at the gate crowd of under 1500? That's surely not right?

Deeboy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 In July Celtic had supposedly sold 44,000 season tickets. So they must be including all them, nobody pays at the gate, there's no away fans AND a some of the greatest fans in the world have handed their tickets back.

I know why the numbers are inflated but not all clubs do this. My original point remains - they have a cheek to publish any figure so woefully inaccurate as saturday's. At Pollok the only declared gate is one that counts people coming in the ST gate, plus the 3 cash turnstiles. Celtic just make it up. The tech to count those turning up is there (the gate click) but they choose to release an irrelevant and laughable figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Do you have a soft spot for Celtic? I said something about them the other week and you were sticking up for them then as well. Yes. Glasgow side of the family were all Celtic, took me to Parkhead to see the European Cup (Im that old!) and all that stuff so yes I do. Still go to Dens though not Parkhead. Wouldn't be any other way in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 lol wut. So if there's 18,000 at a home game against ICT, the attendance is actually 40,000? Pretty much! Only cup ties e.g. pay at the gate or you have to buy the match day cup ticket for it is where you get real numbers (allegedly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yuch indeed. At the recent cup tie at Dens, a daft wifie actually tried to convince me that DFC were "the Catholic team in Dundee". I did my "Not sure if serious" face for a bit, then ignored her nonsense thereafter. After reading rainbowrising's chat, maybe she had a point...

You should've got the stupid cow telt we're the secular humanist agnostic team in Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
