TBF the maroon pound will be withdrawn from all premiership clubs 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the total attendances for Premiership clubs in 2018/19 and knocked off the attendances in their games against Rangers to find their average against the other 10 clubs. Then I looked at the difference between the attendances in those one or two Rangers games and the non-Rangers average. I then assumed £30 per ticket, which is probably wrong. Bear in mind that those who played them only once at home (St Johnstone, Dundee and St Mirren) would have had around double that if they'd played Rangers twice. Here's what I got: Livingston FC £367,013 Kilmarnock FC £363,212 Aberdeen FC £281,206 Motherwell FC £263,172 Hamilton Academical FC £173,718 Hibernian FC £106,526 St. Johnstone FC £101,162 Heart of Midlothian FC £84,231 Dundee FC £80,788 Celtic FC £78,819 St. Mirren FC £21,578 Interesting thing is St Mirren at the bottom - they only played Rangers once at home, and the attendance wasn't much more than their average. Total value of the blue pound is nearly £2 million, with nearly a third of that split between four clubs. You need to factor in the increased Policing and Stewarding costs associated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't know how much that would be, and I'm sure there must be more from stuff like hospitality to balance too. 8 minutes ago, Aim Here said: ITYM 2/3 split between 4 clubs.

GordonS Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Better way to show the numbers - the attendance at their games against Rangers, minus their average in the same number of non-Rangers matches, as a proportion of their total attendance for the season: Livingston FC 17.57% Hamilton Academical FC 10.77% Kilmarnock FC 9.24% Motherwell FC 8.47% St. Johnstone FC 4.56% Aberdeen FC 3.31% Dundee FC 2.35% Hibernian FC 1.05% Heart of Midlothian FC 0.84% St. Mirren FC 0.71% Celtic FC 0.24% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they were playing Dundee instead of us, but it confirms we get no benefit from the Blue Pound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Rangers fans reaction to St. Mirren's statement is 'we should lobby the b*****ds for the ticket money back.... Really hurt them in the pocket'. Unfortunately for them though, Rangers are still holding the money for the away end St. Mirren tickets that were sold as the game was still a week and a half away and hadn't yet been played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The last time Scottish Premiership teams were deprived of the blue pound St Johnstone had their most successful period in their history. I say "Bring it on" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm fairly sure the last time the ***s threatened a high profile boycott, it resulted in: Dundee United selling out their ground for a cup tie which probably would have sold out without a boycott 350 ***s defying the boycott because they wanted to watch their team Their team get absolute fucked 3-0 going on 10-0 Two players suffer cranial detachments resulting in hilarious red cards 95% of the stadium singing The Cranberries' "Zombie" for 90 minutes Charles Green still enjoying hospitality after spending weeks telling them to boycott United making far more money out of that tie and resulting cup campaign than they could have possibly budgeted for. Oh and this I believe was the final nail in the coffin of the most hilarious boycott in Scottish football history: So I'd imagine most fans of Scottish clubs aren't going to be particularly worried about the BLUE POUND 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely because they lost. One on the same site is claiming that they shouldn't even give away ticket money to the clubs who stood with them as they only voted in self interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 So I had a go at working out the value of this blue pound.

Total value of the blue pound is nearly £2 million, with nearly a two-thirds of that split between four clubs. What's that minus the cost every club incurs with their stadium being wrecked every time the scum come to town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
