The Reason Behind Falling Attendances?

[Chapmeister...]

It was'nt a backtrack at all, you are patently ignorant and need things spelled out, everyone else knew what I meant.

Haha, who? No one else has even commented!

Dev can't admit hee haw

As I am by far the smartest guy on these boards, I shall explain it all to the less clever ones here i.e everyone. Somebody said attendances at the piggery have been falling steadily for the last x amount of seasons because of the economic downturn, but in actual fact they rose from season 2010/2011 to 2011/2012, but now suddenly they are down from last season, do the honourable gentlemen think this has got to do with Rangers and the Celtic fans saying, "we will win the league this season no bother, lets spend our money on Tina and her mates and crack" or as Lawwell said the country is in a much worse state ....in fact, i can't believe I actually spent typing this out. Ignore all I said, in true not606 fashion! I'll say something though, you lot have ****ing stamina!

No wonder the attendance at The Savile Dome was around the 15,000 mark as they're all on the Rangers board while their team are playing at home

This is who you are trying to deal with.

Pretty sure I'm not Medro Dev you daft ****.

Don't be ridiculous. It's because we were lacking the challenge of Rangers.

That's why I quoted Medro and not you. If I had meant you I would have quoted you.

Daft? Moi?

So by that reckoning you'd expect the same 15,000 to turn up if we drew you at parkheed in the next round?

Less than 25%? That almost needs its own thread started!

Does that mean if we get 12,500 we win the attendance cup this week?

What was it the auld, jaked-up **** said - "I goto EVERY home game"

By what reckoning? What's that got to do with our attendances v St Johnstone? <chapstinybraincantcope>

You posted that list of users 50mins after the game finished you stupid alky ****wit. Impossible that Harry was there? Or are you stalking him?

 

[Medro]

No. Incorrect. Those were attendances at SPL games against St Johnstone, Motherwell, Hibs and Motherwell again.

The 2009/10 blip is due to 4 or 5 games where we had uber-****e attendances of about 24,000 (the end of Mowbray days).

1 of those games was during the end of Mowbray’s days.

And you've inadvertently pointed out another flaw in your theory. The numbers you give are for attendances not ticket sales. We had 48,000 season ticket holders in 2009/10 (you can check this in the official accounts if you want). Yet for those 4 games the attendances were between 24,000 and 18,000 fewer than (the minimum) number of tickets paid for (a total discrepancy of 80750). So attendances in 2009/10 were lower than 2010-11 - due to the apathy created by Mowbray and the result of season book holders not turning up - but not ticket sales.

No they weren’t.

2009/10 866,061
2011/12 967,182

Yeah fans stayed away due to apathy created by Mowbray, or should we just say it. Getting gubbed in the league by Rangers.

In fact **** it - the official accounts state that in 2009-10 we sold 48,000 season tickets and 240,000 match day tickets (not including european games). In 2010-11 the official account state we 42,500 season tickets and 166,000 match day tickets (not including european games). So your figures are pish and I'm right - tickets sales decreased.

As I have mentioned before the stats that I provided are official SPL figures. Not ticket sales, official SPL attendance figures for Celtic’s home games. You know, the people who actually turn up for the games. You know, the point of this article.

http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Celtic+Financial+-+Annual+Report+2010
http://www.scotzine.com/2011/08/celtic-release-their-end-of-year-preliminary-financial-results/

I’m guessing, and it’s just a guess, but Celtic include ticket sales for away games as well in their financial figures. The SPL stats are attendances for home games.

What?! I'm saying if more non-season book holders, like myself, chose to go to CL games than went to Europa league games last season (which is evidently true) then they're less likely to also go to league games. I spent £110 including booking fees for my CL games - that's (almost) the price of 4 league games which I subsequently won't go to. Multiply that by the roughly 20,000 non-season ticket holders that have bought CL tickets ...

So someone who purchases a season ticket that gains him entry into every home league game will NOT go to 4 games because he bought the Champions League package. That’s a great logic.

Declan “Are you goin to the match today Admiral?”
Admiral “Naw, I’m goin to the CL games instead.”
Declan “But you’ve got a season ticket”
Admiral “Yeah but my CL package equates to 4 SPL games!”
Declan “And what, you’ve already paid for the games!?!”

Incidentally I've never said having no old firm games won't make a difference. Of course it will - it's the only 2 guaranteed sell-outs in the league which obviously boosts total and average attendances for the season. But if less people are going to see Celtic v St Johnstone than in previous seasons, I'd say that the economic conditions are THE major factor. As they have been for the past 4 years and why we've seen a large decrease in total and average attendances since the pre-recession.

Or maybe the lack of Savco’s rivals challenging for the title.

This thread is tragic beyond belief!

A plea to all Celtic fans, leave the ****s to it!
